Mt Elgon branch threatens to sue AK over Komon

Athletics Kenya has up to Sunday to reinstate Leonard Komon in the Kenya team to the World Cross Country Championship in Embu, or risk facing litigation.

Athletics Kenya Mt. Elgon Branch will move to court on Monday to seek his reinstatement saying the mistake that led to his axing was done by AK and not Komon.

“We have evidence from our end concerning the communications between AK and Komon. Moreover, AK secretary general David Okeyo has come out public certifying that a mistake happened,” said Rodgers Kapsiwo, who read the statement on behalf of Mt. Kenya branch officials.

Komon comes from Mt Elgon, and had explained the circumstances behind his participation in the World’s Best 10km race in San Juan, Puerto Rico on February 27, which led to him being axed from the team.
