Kenyan Olympic Committee official arrested for poor outing

Kenyan police on Friday arrested the secretary-general of the country's Olympic committee (NOCK) in the wake of a series of scandals and embarrassments at the Rio Games.

"It's true Francis Paul has been arrested over the Olympics issues," said a police source who wished to remain anonymous.

"It is part of investigations into the Rio scandal on the mismanagement of the whole Games for the Kenyan team and the misappropriation of kits."

Kenya's Sport Minister Hassan Wario had on Thursday announced the disbanding of the country's Olympic committee with immediate effect.
