Kenya athletics manager 'recalled amid allegations of bribery over doping'

By , Reporter
Michael Rotich, the manager of the Kenyan Olympic athletics team, is recalled from the Rio 2016 Games following allegations of bribery over doping, according to reports.

The manager of the Kenyan Olympic athletics team has reportedly been recalled from the Rio 2016 Games following allegations of bribery over doping.

An investigation by the Sunday Times and German broadcaster ARD secretly filmed Michael Rotich apparently demanding £10,000 for agreeing to warn a British coach about imminent doping tests.

Journalist Hajo Seppelt tweeted an Athletics Kenya statement saying that Rotich had been recalled "so we can investigate further his role in this".

Kenya was only removed from the World Anti-Doping Agency's list of "non-compliant" countries on Friday.
