ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia -- Two people familiar with the
situation say Ethiopia's track federation plans to lift the suspension it
placed on Olympic distance running champion Kenenisa Bekele, clearing the way
for him to compete at the London Games.
The people tell The Associated Press that the federation
plans to reinstate Bekele soon. They spoke Monday on condition of anonymity
because the decision had not yet been made public.
Bekele won the 5,000 and 10,000 meters at the Beijing
Olympics and holds the world record in both events. He was suspended last week
along with 34 other Ethiopian athletes for not reporting to a training camp.
The suspension would prevent Bekele from running at this year's Olympics.
