NAIROBI air max 2017 goedkoop nederland , Sept. 24 (Xinhua) -- Striking Kenya 7s stars including vice-captain and record try scorer, Collins Injera, were on Wednesday axed from the national team for the upcoming Safaricom 7s and the HSBC World Series opener in Gold Coast, Australia.


The players have been on strike following a dispute over contracts with Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) and they refused to accompany the rest of the squad to apply for visas to Australia.


Horace Otieno, back-rower Biko Adema, Oscar Ouma, Oscar Ayodi and Felix Ayange are among the regulars who were dropped after the core players protested KRU plans to introduce performance based contracts for the new season.


They also demanded to be paid appearance fees and bonuses before taking part in the annual Safaricom tournament which gets underway in Nairobi on Friday.


""We have been accused in the past of running a team that is not competition hungry and that some of the players were underperforming at the top level,"" Union boss Mwangi Muthee said when announcing the stiff measures in Nairobi.


""There is a lot of talent coming through, who are arguably putting their claim in the lucrative Sevens squad. It will be unfair to lock them out,"" added Muthee.


Kenya will enter three teams in the three-day competition including the defending champions, Shujaa.


Other participating countries include Australia, Argentina, Fiji, New Zealand and South Africa.


The tournament will be used to pick the final squad to play in the IRB Sevens World Series, which opens at the Gold Coast sevens in Australia early next month.


""It is going to be tough to replace players such as Horace Otieno and Collins Injera who have played over 40 tournaments. But we cannot force anyone to come for practise,"" South African head coach, Paul Treu, said.

MADRID, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- The 12-man terrorist cell behind the Barcelona and Cambrils terrorist attacks, which claimed 15 lives and left over 120 people injured, had been preparing a bigger attack in Barcelona, according to judicial sources.


The confirmation was given by Mohamed Houli Chemlal, the first member of the four survivors of the cell to testify in the Spanish National High Court on Tuesday.


Chemlal was injured in an explosion at a house in Alcanar, south of Barcelona late on Wednesday night, presumably caused by an explosion in one of the over 50 butane gas canisters they had collected over the past six months.


According to Spanish media, he was questioned by High Court judge Fernando Andreu for around an hour and half, reportedly responding to "nearly all" of the questioned he was asked.


His replies match what he told the Catalan regional police (Mossos d'Esquadra) in the five days when he had been maintained incommunicado under their custody.


Chemlal was accompanied to the court in Madrid by Dris Oukbar, Mohammed Alla and Salh Karib, all of whom were detained in the town of Ripoll, in Girona province, north of Barcelona.


The quartet were brought to Madrid on Monday night and kept in the Civil Guard headquarters in nearby Tres Cantos, before arriving at court at around 8:00 a.m. and starting their declarations an hour later.


One of the issues being investigated is whether the cell had help from abroad after it was revealed some members of the cell made a "rapid" visit to Paris on 11th and 12th of August, while Abdelbaki es Satti, the imam who is thought to have radicalized the terrorists and who was killed in the Alcanar explosion, is known to have spent considerable time in Belgium.


Prosecutors have asked that given the gravity of their supposed crimes, the quartet be sent to prison without bail and not allowed to communicate with each other.
