Montsho�s parents disappointed with BAA, BNSC

“Everyone in the family is concerned, me her mother and sisters. We are all concerned for her,” says Victor Nkape, the father of the former 400m world champion. The 52-year-old who works as a supplies officer at Maun Technical College says what bothers the family is that no one has officially told them about the incident since the news of her drug tests broke. 

Nkape says this is surprising considering that all the national sports associations have a cordial relationship with the family. He says sports officials always phoned the family whenever Montsho did well in competitions. “We only hear about her doping issue on radio while some told us what they read about it on Facebook. It appears Botswana National Sports Council and Botswana Athletics Association only know us when all is good.”
