NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya's president signed an anti-doping amendment bill into law on Thursday, after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said Kenyan legislation passed in April needed further changes if Kenya was to be declared compliant with WADA codes.

"Signed the Anti-Doping 2016 (Amendment) Bill into law this morning," President Uhuru Kenyatta said on his official Twitter account.
