SYDNEY, Australia (AP) -- Nigerian Olympic officials have told a hurdler on the team that she must arrange -- and apparently pay for -- the return of the body of her fiance, who was killed by a car in Sydney last week.
 
 Glory Alozie, considered one of Nigeria's best medal chances, flew in on Friday night, a day after 400-metre runner Hyginus Anugo was fatally injured.
 
 Nigerian Olympic officials said in a statement Sunday that Anugo, a 22-year-old relay squad reserve, was not the team's responsibility.
 
 The statement, signed by Nigerian Olympic official Fidelis Kaigama, expressed "sadness" over the death but failed to make any form of commitment to returning his body or helping his family.
 
 "We don't have anything to do with him because he was one of those asked to go home who chose to stay back," an unidentified Nigerian official told Australian Associated Press on Sunday.
 
 Anugo, who was in Sydney at the request of his fiance, was knocked down and killed instantly by a car while trying to run across a street on Thursday.
 
 Anugo was originally overlooked by Nigerian selectors in July but added to the track squad at the last minute.
 
 However, after Anugo had begun training with the relay squad in Adelaide, he was dropped to the reserves last week. He was not officially accredited for the Games but had hoped to break into the relay team by clocking impressive times during his stay in Australia.
 
 Alozie, 23, is ranked second in the world in the 100-metre hurdles and was in Japan for a Grand Prix when she heard of Anugo's death.
