It means that the doping program is controlled or directed by high level officials. In the case of Russia, the sports ministry was in charge of the doping program.
There is no systematic doping in the US. In fact in the US, runners have gone to prison for doping. They are usually asked to cooperate with authorities. If you bring kichwa ngumu like marion jones utaenda kamiti maximum pap !
I thought its the local governments that set up the testing labs, as the Kenyan government is being asked to.
But can't you see if most of the top athletes in a country are dopers there must be a problem with the given country, whether its the government sponsoring the same or not. Especially considering doping is not a criminal offense, and marion was actually arrested for something else, not the doping act itself.
But honestly hata ka ni kudefend watu wa majuu, if most of your top guys are doping, the country must have a big problem.
