More Olympics
Three officials of the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOCK) have been arrested in connection with the alleged mismanagement of the country’s team at the Rio de Janeiro Games, police officials said. NOCK’s secretary general, Francis K. Paul, was reportedly detained at Nairobi’s Muthaiga Police Station. The same officials said Kenya’s chef de mission, Stephen Arap Soi, and his deputy James Chacha were arrested at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. The two were arriving from Brazil with members of the Olympic team, amid some claims from athletes about being left to live in difficult conditions after the Olympic Village closed.
