Suspended 800M bronze medalist Kipyegon Bett makes some sensational allegations about his management company, Golazo Sports. Kenyan runner is facing ADRV and EPO use charge.
Did Golazo Sports Group play any part or role in Kipyegon Bett's woes?
Suspended athlete Kipyegon Bett says a Kenyan representative of Golazo Sports told him to accept that he used EPO and "be done with the shame"

More on this startling revelation and other disclosures from my Kipyegon Bett's elaborate interview will air on Saturday at 18GMT on @cgtnafrica
Our exclusive interview with Kipyegon Bett airs at 18:00 GMT on @cgtnafrica. Hear what he says about his missed tests and what Golazo Sports Representative says about this particular case.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Anti Doping Agency of Kenya, @ADAK_KE , will also join us live on @cgtnafrica studios to discuss the recent developments in the fight against doping in the country.
Match Point sports show on @cgtnafrica Will be incomplete without a look inside the new WADA approved laboratory in Kenya, Lancet Kenya. The CEO @DrAhmedKalebi speaks to us from South Africa. @siasduplessis Got that chat on top of the hour.
Belgium-based Golazo Sports dismisses Kipyegon Bett's claims on doping and missed tests. Barnabas Korir says the athlete isn't entirely truthful. Whereabouts info on ADAMS is athlete's sole responsibility. Advises Bett to consider his options at the moment.
Surprisingly, it was Barnabas Korie, Athletics Kenya Nairobi branch official, who broke the news of Kipyegon Bett's EPO doping to the media. Not the legally-mandated ADAK or even Athletics Kenya. He denies being the representative of Golazo Sports in Kenya.
It then begs questions : on what grounds/whose authority did Barnabas Korir act in relation to Kipyegon Bett's EPO doping revelation? Did AIU copy him alongside Golazo Sports in the ARDV notification email to Kipyegon Bett? Why did he speak on behalf of Bett, Athletics Kenya?
Did someone at Golazo Sports Group deliberately fail to update the ADAMS whereabouts info for Kipyegon Bett, resulting in missed test entries? Did he fall out with key Kenyan Golazo Sports bosses? Why would Kipyegon Bett allegedly take EPO during off season?
Coincidentally, Ruth Jebet, ex-Kenyan runner now representing Bahrain, is a Golazo Sports Managed athlete who failed doping test on May. EPO, again.
theguardian.com/sport/2018/mar…
Appearing on @cgtnafrica sports show #MatchPoint, ADAK CEO Japther Rugut said his organization is currently pursuing athletes support agents involved in suspected doping activities in Kenya athletics. He did not mention names as probe is still underway.
Curiously, Barnabas Korir's name features prominently in the matter of contractual dispute between Celliphine Chespol, Golazo Sports and her new management. Just like Kipyegon Bett's , Chepsol has missed tests questions to answer by TOMORROW.
mediamaxnetwork.co.ke/437639/ak-offi…
Update : Athletics Kenya says it has no records showing Barnabas Korir is a representative of Golazo Sports Group in Kenya. AK chief Tuwei says Korir is Nairobi branch boss, "to the best of their knowledge". But is it entirely true?
If Barnabas Korir has nothing to do with Golazo Sports, why would the Athletics Integrity Unit include him in official & confidential correspondence involving Golazo Sports managed athletes? Is Barnabas Korir an Athletics Kenya official and Golazo Sports Agent at the same time?
BREAKING NEWS. Suspended world 800M bronze medalist Kipyegon Bett claims Barnabas Korir is the Golazo Sports Agent who asked him to "accept the AIU EPO" charge in an alleged meeting at Nairobi's Hilton Hotel.
Barnabas Korir says he has no affiliation with Golazo Sports or Kipyegon Bett. Says Bett has every right for defense as stipulated in ADRV charge protocol. Denies meeting took place.
Here is the report of my exclusive interview with suspended 800M bronze medalist Kipyegon Bett for @cgtnafrica. More will be aired this week.

Nairobi’s Prima Donna Elachi was born in Kakamega, studied in rural Malava Pry School, Moi Girls Vokoli and at African Nazarine University.
What’s her official car, Maserati Levante? Does she sleep at UAP Towers? Does she bathe in Lake Rutundu? This mediocrity must fall!
What medical condition afflicts Beatrice Elachi that she has to fly this way at Kenyan taxpayers’ expense? Mawinguasis Comfortiasis?
Why would Elachi’s doctors only insist on this kind of aviation luxury for Beatrice Elachi? Should she disclose her condition to those paying for this lifestyle? Should her doctors be investigated for fraud?

The impunity in matatu sector has reached a dangerous level.
The driver of this matatu smashed the side mirror of the lorry and took off. Canter caught up with him. Lorry Driver got assaulted in the confusion. Thug got arrested by Embakasi police. Matatu took off.
Paying the price of towing with impunity, lawlessness & mediocrity.
1. Interdict the police officers for willful negligence, complacency & truancy.
2. De register offending vehicles from public transportation.
3. Discipline Central Police chiefs.

The policeman who drove former Kenyan president Daniel Moi to Nairobi from Nakuru has been interred. Only those flowers to him know tell the story, 37 years later. Are people waiting for Moi's demise to start speaking up about the attempted Kenyan 1981 military coup?
What information is being kept away from the public under the official secrecy act? Gould retired Army generals, spy chiefs, aides, cooks, drivers, bodyguards, diary controllers, protocol officers publish books/document own experiences from 1978-2002 during Moi Era?
What happened immediately before the 1982 coup, a year before? Who knew about the hatched plans that effectively began months before the actual coup in 1982? Time to trade the renegade and exiled KAF soldiers for their side of history? Should they take the secrets to graves?

Armed Police officers, about a dozen, with automatic weapons, have raided the China Global Television Network Africa HQ in Nairobi, rounding up staff members and demanding identity/alien cards and work permits from mostly expatriates working here. They did not ID themselves.
Whilst government agencies have a right to conduct their business, but the manner in which they stormed CGTN Africa HQ is despicable, unprofessional and dangerous. Several Chinese Staff members are currently unaccounted for after being violently arrested and taken away by police
Contrary to reports, I have not been arrested or apprehended. Officers conducting the operation refused to hear pleas from the rest of us to conduct themselves with more decorum and order. Brandishing guns and raiding newsrooms is not how they ought to conduct themselves.

Three years today since Sebastian Coe took over at IAAF from Lamine Diack, who remains under travel embargo in France. How has the world athletics body faired on under Sebastian Coe?
I could well have been the last journalist to speak to Lamine Diack before he left office after the 2015 Worlds in China. He was shortly placed investigation in corruption and doping inquiry
Three years later, the Diacks are still insisting on their innocence. They told me their patience with the investigations and their accusers is waning thin.

Is the Director of Public Prosecution interested in this theft of funds meant for Kenyan athletics?
There is need to question a few people at Nike who colluded with David Okeyo and a few elements within Athletics Kenya to divert sponsorship money meant for Kenyan Athletics.
Former chairman, the late Isaiah Kiplagat was also accused of corruption and misconduct. He died whilst the probe was underway. Not sure if Motion In Suggestion Of Death was entered and/or if Athletics Kenya provided death certificate.
