Kenya have been warned by the World Anti-Doping Agency that they could be ruled non-compliant with its code if they fail to provide satisfactory answers to questions about their anti-doping programme.
Athletics in Kenya has come under scrutiny in the wake of Russia's provisional suspension from international competition by world governing body the IAAF following WADA's revelations of systematic doping.
The WADA independent commission report which said Russia was guilty of state-sponsored doping also added that it was not the only country "facing the problem of orchestrated doping in sport".
The pressure has intensified on Kenya, whose athletes topped the medal table at August's World Championships in Beijing, amid allegations of doping cover-ups in the country.
A statement from WADA posted on Twitter on Wednesday read: "WADA has requested Kenya to answer questions relating to its anti-doping program. Await those answers, and if unsatisfactory, then it could be a matter for Compliance Review Committee.
"WADA is encouraged by media reports that Kenyan cabinet has now approved rules and approved laws and that it will commit funding to Kenyan anti-doping program."
It emerged at the weekend that Athletics Kenya vice-president David Okeyo, an IAAF council member, had been referred to the IAAF ethics commission after it was revealed he was the subject of a police investigation in his native Kenya.
He is alleged to have siphoned off funds from a sponsorship deal between the national association and sportswear firm Nike.
