Kenya’s Olympic Track Team Manager Released on Bail

He allegedly provided urine sample for the runner which is a doping violation and was sent home by Athletics Kenya on Thursday, Sky News reported.

He handled a urine sample and even signed some documents.

A Kenyan athletics coach was sent home from Rio after posing as an athlete.

Rotich finished second in his 800 heat on Friday and will run in the semis on Saturday.

“It was clear he didn’t take a doping test by the athlete or for the athlete”, Adams said.

In their defense, Anzra and Rotich stated that the whole incident was a misunderstanding.

Wilfred Bungei, the 2008 Olympic champion, said Anzrah’s tribulations were just but highlight of the problems Team Kenya face over the years.

Anzrah was also taken aback by comments made by Olympics legend and Nock boss, Kipchoge Keino to global media that the national body had not facilitated his travel plans to the games.

Last week, Kenya sent their track and field manager Michael Rotich home from the Games following allegations that he requested money to let undercover journalists, posing as athlete representatives, know when drugs testers would come calling.

Deported Team Kenya sprint coach and retired sprinter, John Anzrah, strenuously denied he had given out a urine sample and impersonated Kenya’s 800m runner, Ferguson Cheruiyot, on objective at a scheduled out-of-competition doping test at the Rio 2016 Olympics.

Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper and German television channel ARD filmed Rotich allegedly demanding $13,000 for testing information. A judge ordered his detention for four weeks while investigators work in the doping probe. He denies the accusations.

Justice Luka Kimaru ordered Mr Rotich’s release on medical grounds. His lawyer said he has diabetes and a liver condition.

The Kenyan team, led by flag bearer Shehzana Anwar, enter the stadium during the Opening Ceremony of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

The recent doping scandals in Rio threaten one more time the country’s banning from the Olympics due to weak laws against drug use in athletes. “We sent the chaperone to the right athlete right away; he was notified and arrived immediately at the Doping Control Station and was tested”, International Olympic Committee added.

“We now have legislation that gives the Kenya Anti-Doping Agency the mandate, tools and the force of law to ensure that Kenya becomes a doping-free nation”, he noted.

Two-time Olympic gold medallist Gebrselassie of Ethiopia lamented the failure of authorities to crack down.
