Kampala (Uganda): Ugandan star distance runner and Commonwealth Gold medalist Moses Kipsiro says he may have to flee the east African country after receiving threats stemming from sexual harassment claims he made against
a coach.

Uganda, an emerging athletics power that has been trying to take on traditional regional rivals Kenya and Ethiopia, was hit by an athletics sex abuse scandal nearly a year ago.

It broke after 28-year-old Kipsiro, who retained his 10,000-metre title at last year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, made public complaints from his female teammates against a national coach.
