MOGADISHU – Somalia’s minister of youth and sports has suspended the country’s athletics federation chief and is set to initiate legal action, after a woman sprinter took more than 21 seconds to complete the 100m at the World University Games.
Nasra Abukar Ali lined up for the women’s 100m at the event in China but she finished last, more than 10sec behind the winner, who clocked 11.58sec.
......
Sports Minister Mohamed Barre Mohamud said that an investigation conducted with Somalia’s National Olympic Committee revealed Ali was neither a sports person nor a runner.
“Khadijo Aden Dahir, the chairwoman of the Somali Athletics Federation, has engaged in acts of abuse of power, nepotism, and defaming the name of the nation in (the) international arena,” the minister said in a statement.

Sg football team at least don't look plump like that Somali runner. One look and you know she's very different from the rest of the runners.
