This article says he received a death threat from a woman.
Shouldn't the police be investigating?

In the 42-year history of World XC Champs, the Ugandan women have only participated in four editions.

Guiyang, China -- We caught up with American Bobby Curtis after he finished 37th at the 2015 IAAF World Cross Country Championships. Our interview with him is below.
CU coach Heather Burroughs: "She has surprised us. It's not an insult, I think, for us to say that she's gone way beyond what we expected, certainly for her freshman year. There is a better runner in her than we knew. It's all been a big, fun surprise."
