JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africa’s Olympic Committee says several officials will face charges as the result of an audit into the finances of the national track federation and its handling of the Caster Semenya affair.
The committee said Monday in a statement that board member Ray Mali “will proceed to a South African police station and formally lay charges against certain individuals as recommended in the forensic report.” Mali is acting as a temporary administrator of Athletics South Africa.
Eight ASA board members, including president Leonard Chuene, were suspended last November before the audit was completed.
Semenya sat out 11 months after becoming 800-meter world champion because of a dispute over gender tests.
