The news comes as another setback for the Ugandan team after two members of their Olympic committee tested positive for Covid-19 after landing in Japan last month. It is not clear if Ssekitoleko was one of them.
Ugandan Weightlifting Federation president Salim Musoke said that the last time he spoke to the athlete was on Tuesday, July 13. He told The New York Times: When I got the message, I wondered, what happened if they were well guarded. What happened to the security they have been talking about? Athletes disappearing is not good for the country. I am praying that they should get this boy. The government of Japan should get this boy, and then we expel him from the sport.
