Abstract
A longer article about a high profile competitive Kenyan runner, Moninda Marube who now lives in Auburn, Maine while awaiting a decision on a U Visa application. This visa is granted to victims of human trafficking who agree to help prosecute the perpetrators of the crime. A complicated story leads to contradictions, questions and some proof of Marube's allegations of being the victim of labor trafficking at the hand of Coon Rapids, Minnesota running coach William Kosgei.
