Mushir Salim Jawher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mushir Salim Jawher (Arabic: مشير سالم جوهر) (born Leonard Mucheru on June 13, 1978 in Nyandarwa, Kenya) is a long distance runner now representing Bahrain after his switching from Kenya. Other runners who have gone the same way include Youssef Saad Kamel (formerly Gregory Konchellah).
Jawher's special distance is 3000 metres, and he became Asian Indoor Champion in 2004. This stirred some controversy as he, according to IAAF rules, was not eligible to run for his new country until March 16, 2006.
