Amos reacted to the ban for the first time this week and indicated he had not received support from bodies such as the Botswana National Olympic Committee (BNOC), the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC), the Botswana Athletics Association (BAA), and the Ministry of Youth, Sport, Gender and Culture.
