BAA's Hands Tied On Montsho Accident

BAA vice president, Oabona Theetso said since the incident occurred outside national team camp, there was nothing the association could do. “We learnt about the incident through social media and there was nothing official that was brought to us. There is nothing the association could do as the athlete was not in national team camp,” Theetso said.

“I do not have the details about the accident but we are aware of it. She is the responsibility of the club and an athlete becomes our responsibility when the national team is in camp. The BAA does not have power to do anything or to investigate the incident. It is up to her club to find out what happened. The power lies with the clubs,” he said. Montsho is a member of the Sports View Athletics Clubs.
