Ethiopian Anti-Doping Authority: 89% of Athlete Evidence Fabricated

The Ethiopian Anti-Doping Authority has revealed that 89 percent of evidence submitted by athletes in doping cases is unreliable or fabricated. Director General Mekonnen Yidersal shared this information in an interview with The Reporter, highlighting the scale of the challenge the authority faces. Currently, the authority is handling approximately 18 doping cases for the year, with several investigations still active. The director emphasized that the high rate of falsified evidence complicates the adjudication process for doping violations.
