JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africa’s highest sports body has ordered an investigation into the finances and administration of the country’s track and field association after finding evidence that documents had been shredded or deleted from computers.
The national Olympic governing body took over Athletics South Africa last year and began probing the handling of 800-meter world champion Caster Semenya’s gender tests.
Tubby Reddy, chief executive of the Olympic organization, said on Wednesday that criminal charges could result from the probe.
