The IAAF is exploring tightening the rules that allow athletes to switch the country they represent in track and field.Sebastian Coes IAAF leadership has discussed the issue during the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and transfer of allegiance is on the agenda for Saturdays council meeting, the sports governing body revealed to The Associated Press.On the eve of the Olympics, the IAAF allowed 85 athletes to compete for new countries, including 12 now on the Bahrain team after previously representing African or Caribbean nations.It is time to review the transfer of allegiance rules to see if they are still applicable to today, the IAAF told The AP on Monday. ?Its like many of the IAAF rules; they need to be reviewed over a period of time. It is right to review these rules now.Bahrains first Olympic gold medal was won Monday by Ruth Jebet in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Jebet transferred her sports nationality to the tiny Gulf island kingdom three years ago from Kenya.There are so many athletes in Kenya, the 19-year-old Jebet said, explaining her decision. In Bahrain I get the chance to go to school.Andrew Fisher competed in the 100 meters for Bahrain after being among those athletes to have their transfer of allegiance confirmed in July.The 24-year-old former Jamaican has said he would remain living on the Caribbean Island and had only visited Bahrain once.Fisher hasnt masked the fact that he went in search of a new nation to secure a place at the Olympics because he felt he could not qualify for the Jamaican team, which is headed by Usain Bolt.It was a decision that took months to come to, Fisher told the Jamaica Observer newspaper recently. I love Jamaica and didnt think I could live anywhere else.The Jamaican team right now is a hard one to make, and we all have ambitions to compete at the highest level, and this was one way I saw where I could fulfill that ambition, Fisher added.Neither Fisher nor Jebet had previously appeared in an Olympics.

Ah, but what can I do? Croatia-born Marko Bagaric said after Qatars game against his former countrymen.Qatar gave me the opportunity to play in the Olympic Games. It is the dream of any sportsman. Chinese-born players dominate table tennis worldwide and competed in Rio not just for China, but at least a dozen more countries including Turkey, Canada and Germany.The 53-year-old Li Xianlian was a world champion for China in 1983 but was still competing in Rio this month, her third Olympic appearance for Luxembourg.In the post-Soviet world, nationalities are particularly fluid for the oil-producing nation of Azerbaijan, which in Rio has fielded gymnasts from Ukraine, wrestlers from Iran and a boxer from Cuba.Sitting out a period of ineligibility was no problem for gold medal-winning weightlifter Nijat Rahimov, who used his two-year ban for doping to complete a switch from his native Azerbaijan to Kazakhstan, another former Soviet country that pays generously for medals won.
