DOHA, Qatar - Kenya has a doping problem, one of the countrys government ministers told The Associated Press, and it also has a plan to clean it up.Only days after marathon runner Rita Jeptoo was exposed for a positive doping test, Kenyan sports minister Hassan Wario Arero said the country has a very clear roadmap to tackle the problem and will open a new anti-doping agency by the end of the year.The key thing here is acknowledging the problem, that there is a problem (and) although it is drip-drip, that it may become a bigger problem if you dont handle it, Wario, the cabinet secretary at the Ministry of Sports, said in an interview with the AP.Wario blamed sports agents who have infiltrated our camps, and also criticized the Kenyan athletics federation for being unco-operative.Jeptoo, winner of the last two Chicago and Boston Marathons, tested positive for EPO in an out-of-competition test in Kenya on Sept. 25. She is one of the highest profile Kenyan athletes to fail a doping test.In a separate interview with the AP, World Anti-Doping Agency president Craig Reedie pointed to the example of Jamaica, which bolstered its anti-doping program under outside pressure and with outside help following concerns that it wasnt sufficiently testing its world-class sprinters.The world will expect Kenya to do more, in the way that the world expected Jamaica to do more, Reedie said. Jamaica have put their house in order and I hope very much that Kenya will put its house in order.Reedie and Wario plan to hold talks on the sidelines of the Doha Goals sports forum in Qatar.Jeptoos case comes weeks after a Kenyan task force, formed a year ago, released a damaging report into doping in the country.Wario said the report was our way of saying we have nothing to hide. As a country we acknowledge the problems we have.He pointed a finger of blame at the agents managing Kenyan athletes.We need now to understand who these agents are, Wario said. There are many people who have infiltrated our camps.Wario said the countrys new anti-doping agency will have teeth to deal with sports federations that do not co-operate with us, singling out Kenyas athletics federation.They havent been as co-operative as we would have liked them to be, Wario said.The minister said the government is investing $50,000 in the agency, which will get training and expertise from the anti-doping agencies of China and Norway. Samples from doping tests will still be sent to South Africa for analysis, as they are now.We are taking baby steps but I think we are heading in the right direction, Wario said. We have a very clear roadmap.Reedie said he wrote to Kenyan authorities three weeks ago pointing out to them that this situation should not be allowed to continue.He also noted that Kenyas report on doping appears so far to have been followed by relatively little action.They have time to pull this together, Reedie said. I would want to see speedy reaction to the report and to see progress.

Mike Shannon Jersey .J. - Percy Harvin is ready to go, and theres no question in his mind hell be playing Sunday.CLEVELAND – Ask a Blue Jays fan still hesitant to believe in the team whether a 5-4, nine-game run through Baltimore, Minnesota and Cleveland would be satisfactory early in the season, and the answer likely would be in the affirmative. Yet its those defeats, snatched from the jaws of victory, which sting the most and Toronto had two of them on the trip. The Jays led 4-2 in the sixth inning when Aaron Loup walked the bases loaded and gave up a bases-clearing, three-RBI double to the Indians David Murphy. Cleveland had a lead it wouldnt relinquish, ultimately winning the game 6-4. The meltdown was relatively minor compared to Thursday nights eighth inning debacle in Minnesota, which saw three relievers give up six runs on just one hit and an unseemly eight walks in a 9-5 loss to the Twins. Its jarring because the Blue Jays bullpen has been consistently reliable. It raises two concerns about the pitching staff. First: the walks. Six more on Sunday afternoon for a season total of 81, which pending the behaviour of Arizona Diamondbacks pitchers in their game against the Dodgers later Sunday, ranks second-most in baseball. "The walks have killed us so far," pitching coach Pete Walker told TSN.ca before Sundays game. "I think its cost us a couple of ballgames." Walks just cost them another one. Second: with the exception of Mark Buehrle, the starting staffs inability to pitch deep into games. "Bottom line, weve got to get some innings out of our starters or our bullpen will be dead come May," said manager John Gibbons after Sundays defeat. Such was the dichotomy of Brandon Morrows performance on Sunday. His six strikeouts over five-plus innings belied the fact Indians hitters battled him throughout. Michael Bourn led off the game with a nine-pitch at-bat. He struck out. In the second, Michael Brantley put the Indians ahead 1-0 with a solo home run on the ninth pitch. An inning later, in the third, Jason Kipnis worked a full-count, 10-pitch walk. Morrow was done at 95 pitches one hitter into the sixth. He threw almost 30 per cent of his pitches (28 of 95) in those three plate appearances alone, leaving Gibbons to wish for more efficiency. "I havent beeen able to do it as much as I would like to," said Morrow of pitching into the sixth and seventh innings.dddddddddddd"Today it was one long inning in the middle; without that I would have been in a better position to finish that sixth." Walker is preaching contact early in counts. He doesnt want pitchers worried about strikeout totals. He wants aggression and laments that radar gun readings are posted on electronic scoreboards. "Its trusting your stuff and really believing that your fastball is good enough that day," said Walker. "I think a couple of our guys might be down in velocity and sometimes that affects your approach. You dont see that 97 on the board and its 92, 93 and all of a sudden you dont trust that fastball in as much as you did last year." Its easy to fall in love with the radar gun and easy to forget that the Blue Jays best pitcher to this point, Mark Buehrle, no longer tops 84 miles per hour with his fastball. "I think it comes down to realizing its not the velocity, its the location," said Walker. "Your fastball is your fastball that given day and it needs to be located regardless. I think, for the most part, thats what we need to get back to and thats something were focusing on is fastball command and pitching inside a little more aggressively." Through 19 games Blue Jays starters have pitched 103 2/3 innings, averaging less than 5 2/3 innings per start. A team with playoff aspirations needs more. R.A. Dickey is presented with the next opportunity to join Buehrle in bucking the troubling trend. He starts Tuesday nights series opener at home with Baltimore. NAVARROS STRANGE ALLERGY If youve been to a Blue Jays game and noticed that Dioner Navarro kicks away the catchers box chalk outline before kneeling for first inning warm up pitches, theres a good reason. Navarros allergic to chalk. The problem dates back years to Navarros minor league days. He would come home after games with skin cracks on his hands. His wife put two and two together since Navarro would always swipe at the dirt to improve his grip, and she suggested he be tested for allergies. Now its habit for Navarro to kick away the chalk before the game begins.
