Some people in her home town Arua and in Kampala on learning that Dorcus has been sick, started alleging that she could be expecting another baby just two years after she gave birth to her first baby.

Her managers have been helping her to resume her former level of fitness in athletics but it seems they will have to leave her if the suspicions that Inzikuru is pregnant happen to be true.

A source from the Uganda Amateur Athletics Federation told this reporter that the life of Inzikuru is now a challenge to her managers since it is becoming difficult for her running career to progress predictably.

But one of the relatives contacted said that Inzikuru fell sick recently like any other person and her sickness was not in anyway related to pregnancy.

The competitions that turned rowdy after the sports officials announced Kibiito secondary school as the winner.

Students from Kabarole Hill side school that were declared second, rejected the results a move that prompted the officials to organize a committee comprised of teachers from various schools and students to verify the results who later found out that Kibiito secondary school was indeed the first.

Armed with stones and sticks, the frustrated students from Kabarole Hillside School thereafter ambushed Kibiito secondary school students as they boarded their school bus back to school.

The two groups engaged the fort portal police in running battles at Kasusu trading centre in south division fort portal municipality as the school bus stopped to wait for the missing members putting business at stand still.

The situation forced the Kabarole district woman member of parliament Hon Businge Victoria Rusoke to intervene. She talked to the students and advised the frustrated Kabarole hill side students to accept defeat and wait for the next competitions.
