BNSC denies failing Crosbie

The rider finished 36th at the just ended Dakar Rally but had to dig deep in order to get funding elsewhere for the trip.

Speaking to Mmegi Sport yesterday, the BNSC chairman Solly Reikeletseng said the sports regulatory body could not give the rider financial assistance due to a fixed budget. He said the commission gives support to local athletes through their various sporting codes and at the time the Botswana Motor Sport’s (BMS) budget was already depleted.
