RIO DE JANEIRO: Kenya’s team at Rio is promising it “will deal” with one of its athletics officials if allegations are proven that he offered to protect cheating athletes from drug testing. James Chacha, deputy chief of the Kenyan team, said Michael Rotich could be on “the next available flight” of out Rio de Janeiro “if the allegations are true that he was actually asking for (a) bribe so that he can inform athlete(s) when the officers from anti-doping are coming.” The Sunday Times in London said the Kenyan track and field manager was secretly filmed offering to protect cheating athletes from drug testing authorities.
