Tokyo: Indian officers in Tokyo are left flummox on Thursday when Uganda Weightlifting Julius Ssekitolololololololololololololololololololololo, which was sent back to his country four days after he escaped during the pre-Olympic training, looked wearing an Indian track jacket at the airport.
The 20-year-old player, who was found in the middle Japan, looked layered at the top of the red track with India written in the back while making a way through Narita Airport in a report aired by NTV Channel.
It looked similar to the kit charged by Indian athletes during the 2018 Commonwealth game at the Gold Coast.
The Indian Olympic community (IOA) Secretary General Rajeev Mehta explained that the clothes were not the country’s official kit for the Tokyo match, which will be opened on Friday.
“This color does not belong to the Indian NOC at the Tokyo Olympics,” Mehta told PTI.
Chef de mission Uganda Aisha Nassanga also did not know how Ssekitololololo got an Indian track jacket.
“I don’t know about this.
He came to practice in Japan on June 18.
Maybe someone gave him to him.
Maybe it could be old,” said Nassanga.
Ssekitolololololo, which competes in the 56 kg category of men, is part of the Uganda team nine members who practice in Izumisano, Osaka Prefecture.
Officials and teammates raised an alarm on Friday last week after the Ssequence failed to appear for the Covid-19 test and also not found in the hotel room.
According to the report, Ssekitolcho arrives in Japan before the qualification for the match has been confirmed.
On July 5, he was told by the international weight lifting federation that he did not get a quota for the Ssekitolololo Olympics had escaped from his hotel room, leaving a note that he did not want to return to his own country.
He was found in Yokkaichi City, 170 km east of Host City in West Japan and sent back to Uganda on Wednesday.
