But the track and field apparatus Qatar has gathered as it prepares to host the 2006 Asian Games is a true mixed relay: it includes formerly Kenyan 10,000-m runner Albert Chepkurui, A.K.A. Abdullah Ahmad Hassan, and its training staff - led by a Belgian ex-decathlon competitor - also boasts a Russian, a Czech and a Hungarian. Why didn't Kenya block Shaheen from racing for Qatar the way it stopped 800-m champion Wilson Kipketer running for Denmark at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics?
