On The Record

The situation with Turkey came up at the European Track Championships this year as well. Some of these Kenyan athletes, all they do is apply for a passport and they get a passport hand-delivered to them in Kenya and off they go. That’s fundamentally wrong. If someone is genuinely a refugee or living in the country for at least three or four years, of course they should be entitled to run for that country.
