Kenya has disbanded its national Olympic committee amid investigations into alleged mismanagement of the country's team at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. "I do hereby disband the National Olympic Committee [NOCK] with immediate effect and transfer their responsibilities to the Sports Kenya as the interim custodian." Problems also included a new doping scandal, ineligible athletes and bad blood between the track and field federation and the national Olympic committee. Before the Games, Kenya team captain Wesley Korir berated local Olympic committee officials, saying they needed better management, payment of pending allowances and an immediate end to alleged harassment of athletes by anti-doping officials. Wario launched an eight-member probe committee, which includes retired athletes Moses Kiptanui and Elizabeth Olaba, to investigate what happened in the organization and planning for Kenya's Olympic team.
