Jele blasts BAA over suspension

According to a suspension letter signed by BAA president Moses Bantsi, the board resolved to suspend Jele from all athletics-related activities, including coaching, competitions, and administration. “This follows taking note of the information contained in reports, testimonies, and affidavits relating to anti-doping proceedings brought by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) under the World Athletics Anti-Doping Rules between Lydia Jele (respondent) as produced by the sport resolution,” the letter reads.

Jele told MmegiSport that after receiving the letter, he approached the BAA seeking clarification, arguing that the document contained several loopholes.
