There seems to be a problem though. Yes it exactly what you are thinking. The players were not given any allowances and some played on empty stomachs. Could it be reason they didn't scope all the medals? Now they plead for compensation as indicate by a Facebook post on the popular student chat group, Chuka University Live.
