Olympic champion, David Lekuta Rudisha allegedly abandons his wife and kids.<\/p>\n

Through social media, his wife, Lizzy calls out to the Olympic world record holder for frustrating her and their children.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Up on Facebook, Lizzy Naanyu pleads with Rudisha to stop it because she has just had enough of the chase.<\/p>\n

David Lekuta Rudisha really stop frustrating me with my kids.<\/p>\n

To my family, my heart is heavy I can\u00b4t hold anymore.<\/p>\n

I love you all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A post she soon after deleted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This has raised a myriad questions about his whereabouts as well as the well-being of his marriage.<\/p>\n

History<\/h2>\n

Furthermore, the 800-meters champion has been missing from the athletics\u00b4 scene with his last being the 2017 IAAF Diamond League held in Shanghai, China.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, according to a report by a local daily, Rudisha\u00b4s agent, Mitchel Boeting failed to comment on the same, citing that he is yet to come across Lizzy\u00b4s post.<\/p>\n

Adding that Rudisha is nursing an injury but will soon be back on the track.<\/p>\n

I cannot comment on their family matters. I have not even known about the post.<\/p>\n

David might not compete this season. The injury healed and reoccurred.<\/p>\n

He will be late for the season and I think he will be back next season. We expect that all will be well for him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Appointed as President of Athletes Commission – the Confederation of Africa Athletics (CAA) – it is reported that he has not been actively serving his role.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Revealing that he hardly responds to urgent calls or messages that require him to attend crucial events as CAA\u00b4s President.<\/p>\n

A senior Athletics Kenya official is not impressed by this expressing:<\/p>\n

Sometimes it is difficult to understand some Kenyan athletes.<\/p>\n

Here an athlete has landed a big position in Africa or IAAF but he doesn\u2019t see the importance.<\/p>\n

Rudisha was appointed CAA Athletics Commission three years ago, but he is not actively involved.<\/p>\n

We here at AK sometimes look for him (Rudisha) to attend some of our critical events but he doesn\u2019t respond to our phone calls or bother to reply our texts.<\/p>\n

CAA President Hamad Kalkaba\u00a0Malboum is not happy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pleas<\/h2>\n

Kenyans plead with the Olympic champion to get his house in order before all hell breaks lose.<\/p>\n

Someone talk to Rudisha and his wife. Looks like depression is pinning her down. She needs counseling. pic.twitter.com\/34mAKwE9tQ<\/a><\/p>\n
