  Edo 2020: Athlete Demands Disqualification of Kenyan Who Represented Bayelsa in 10,000m By Niyi Busari Adamu Shehu Mohammed, Team Plateau 10,000 athlete who came second has requested for the disqualification of the winner, and Team Bayelsa representative. https://twitter.com/BSNSports5/status/1380967713456201732?s=19 "This is unacceptable. How can a Kenyan be participating in a National Sports Festival that is not an international competition? He admitted that he is a Kenyan when officials confronted him. Adamu said. Member Technical Committee of the National Sports Festival, Brown Ebewele confirmed to BSN Sports that the 10,000m winner who represented Bayelsa is from Kenya but he cannot disqualify him if no one writes a protest letter to the Organizing Committee. "Yes, he is a Kenyan. He didn't deny it when I asked him in the core room before they took the final run. But that is not enough to disqualify him if no one writes letter of protest for his disqualification. I stopped asking further questions when I discovered that he might be affected psychologically." Meanwhile, two aggrieved coaches who spoke on condition of anonymity were not ready to write protest letters adding they will tell the athletes to do so. "I can't write the letter but I will ask my athlete to write the protest letter." He told BSN Sports. "We have confirmed he is a Kenyan but I will ask my athlete to write the letter of protest. The reason? I will keep that to myself. He concluded.
