A LEADING agent said yesterday that several top Kenyan runners are considering boycotting the world cross- country championships in Budapest this month and the Commonwealth Games in August if their national track and field body is not reorganised. John Bicourt said in a statement that the athletes, who he did not name, want their government to launch an inquiry into allegations concerning the financial management of the Kenya AAA. Bicourt manages Moses Kiptanui, Richard Chelimo and Ishmael Kirui.
