Team Uganda will find it hard to end a 16-year Olympic medal drought at the Summer Games in London.
Internal bickering amongst athletes and officials has left cracks in the camp back in the Games Village.
When Edwin Ekiring suffered defeat to Hong Kong’s Wong Wing Ki on Monday, he blamed Uganda Olympic Committee official Collins Semanda for the loss.
Ekiring in a war of words with the official said that his foster parents from Holland were refused from entering the Village.
The ‘Black Pearl’ insisted that they were not given tickets to go watch him play at the Wembley Arena, a core reason why they had travelled.
But Chef de mission Dennis Galabuzi cautioned that the athletes must strictly follow the code of conduct.
Just like Ekiring, 50m freestyle swimmer Jamila Lunkuse, the youngest on the team complained when she failed to have her coach in the Games Village.
It looks quite tense for the Ugandan camp and London could still turn to be like Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing four years ago.
