I don't think so, but I am not sure.
The editors view:
*Editor’s note: Reports on the ground confirm that authorities in Kenya have been interrogating and sometimes detaining foreigners involved in athletics. This investigation is part of a response to IAAF and WADA pressure, as well as recent reports, such as the ARD Documentary, of doping conspiracies throughout Kenya. The recent arrest of agent Federico Rosa and the detainment of coach Claudio Berardelli, (both lacking significant evidence) as well as sweeps throughout the country by the department of immigration, has left many foreign agents and coaches wary of the lengths Kenyan authorities may go to create the appearance of fighting performance-enhancing drug use in Kenya on the eve of the Olympics.
Renato, in an email sent to Arnold last week, explained that he, “preferred to go home, because I didn’t want to fight again with immigration at this point in the season.†He had a similar situation before the 2008 Olympics, in which his case ultimately prevailed, but the hearings distracted his attention from the athletes. That is why, for the moment, Renato is coaching remotely.

I guess it is just a misunderstanding.
Oh well.
