Jele returns to the track

The sample for her blood was found to have contained a banned substance at the time. Over the weekend, Jele made a return to the track during the Golden Door Sports Agency series at the National Stadium. The series was part of preparations for the Gaborone International Meet scheduled for April 30 at the National Stadium.

The Meet is a World Athletics Continental Tour-Bronze category. Jele powered through a strong field to finish in position two stopping the clock at 53.49. Sport Monitor could not get a comment from Jele as her coach, Ofentse Jele explained that the runner was not comfortable talking to the media. “She would not agree Sir. I can only do it with her permission. I would try her but I highly doubt she would agree,” he said. The 400m heat was won by Zambian sprinter, Rhoda Njobvu with 52.87. Christine Botlogetswe who was starting her season breathed down Jele’s neck and reaching the finish line with a time of 53.75.
