Urgency removed from doping case

The matter goes for status hearing on April 20. The athletes, Refilwe Murangi, Lydia Jele, Karabo Mothibi and Zibane Ngozi raised the complaints after positive doping tests. Dr Makwati told the court that they needed a bit of time as the matter was no longer urgent.

Dr Makwati said the court had given them time to confer with Botswana National Olympic Committee (BNOC) and National Anti-Doping Office (NADO) to grant the athletes credentials to access the Anti-Doping Administration and Management System (ADAMS).
