Kenya coach, John Anzrah was allegedly carrying 800m runner Ferguson Rotich's accreditation.
 
A Kenyan athletics coach has been sent home from Rio after posing as an athlete and giving a urine sample. Kenya said sprint coach John Anzrah "presented himself" as 800m medal hope Ferguson Rotich and "even signed the documents" for the doping test.

"We cannot tolerate such behaviour," said Kip Keino, chairman of the National Olympic Committee of Kenya.

Rotich, who finished fourth at last year's World Championships in Beijing, is set to race in the heats on Friday. The athlete's agent, Marc Corstjens, said Rotich lent Anzrah his pass so the coach could get a free breakfast in the Olympic Village on Wednesday.

Anzrah, 61, was then allegedly approached by a doping control officer who was looking for Rotich and asked to provide a urine sample, which the coach did.

"Ferguson is completely confused as to why he would do this but the good news is that he found out straight away and went to the drug-tester and gave them blood and urine samples," said Corstjens.

The International Olympic Committee has opened disciplinary proceedings into the matter, but praised Kenya's Olympic body for its "swift action".

Chairman Keino said the committee had not facilitated Anzrah's travel to Brazil, adding: "We don't even know how he came here."

Anzrah is the second Kenyan official to be sent home over doping issues after track and field manager Michael Rotich. He was dismissed following allegations that he was prepared to warn coaches about drugs tests in return for £10,000.

Image
Sara Baartman was abused and used as a circus animal by Europeans   On 29 October 1810, Saartjie “Sara” Baartman, a nineteen year old Khoisan woman signed a contract to be taken from Cape Town to London to be exhibited for entertainment purposes. Though she was illiterate, history allegedly claims she signed the contract with an English ship surgeon named William Dunlop who was a friend to Pieter Willem Cezar and Hendrik Cezar. Pieter Willem Cezar had bought Sara Baartman as a slave at sixteen and she worked for Pieter’s brother, Hendrik. It was here that she was named Saartjie, the Dutch form of Sara.   The history of colonialism was so unfair to her that she was stripped of her identity and her bodily integrity. Her story is the full representation of the evils of a hybrid of colonialism, slavery, racism and sexism. The Europeans even disrespected her humanity to the extent of displaying her brain, skeleton and sexual organs in a Paris museum until 1974. She only go
