• Still in shock over 4x400m relay team’s disqualification A member of Team Nigeria to the Paris 2024 Olympics, Emmanuel Ojeli, has described some of the controversies that dogged the country’s participation at the Games as avoidable. Ojeli, a 400m runner, who made his second Olympics appearance in Paris, said, yesterday, in Lagos that the Federal Government’s decision to rate foreign-based athletes higher than their home-based counterparts, especially in terms of grants and allowances was counterproductive.
