The Senegalese African 110m champion spits on the 80,000 FCfa bonus!

The new African 110m hurdles champion, Louis François Mendy, can no longer stand the lack of consideration from the Senegalese athletics federation and the sports ministry. In fact, on his Instagram page, the Senegalese athlete who has already deplored the lack of financial support for the preparation of his participation in the Paris Olympic Games, has given it a damn! Nearly two days after his coronation on June 25 in Douala where the African Athletics Championships were taking place, he let his anger and disappointment explode.

“It’s unfortunate to be African champion in Senegal. Being African champion in Senegal is only in name. Being African champion to win a bonus of 50,000 FCFA from the Ministry of Sports. Another sum of 30,000 FCFA added to the latter by the president of the federation. Better to go play football because Sadio Mané or Gana would never have accepted this sum. I give you your bonus. Proud to be African Champion. It is time for this to stop,” denounced Louis François Mendy who nevertheless received congratulations from President Bassirou Diomaye Faye via his page “X” (ex Twitter.)

His release should create a shock wave in the federation and even at the level of the Ministry of Sports.
