Leon Baptiste, a prominent British Athletics coach based in Loughborough, has not been heard from for approximately two months. Baptiste, who works as a consultant for UK Athletics and trains elite athletes including Paris Olympic bronze medalist Charlie Dobson, reportedly traveled to Morocco for a short trip with friends. The nature of the trip has been described as either a golf outing or a stag party.

Since the trip, Baptiste has remained out of contact with both his athletes and his employers at UK Athletics. Messages sent to his phone have gone unanswered, raising concerns among those who work with him. UK Athletics has officially declined to provide details regarding the situation, stating that they are bound by confidentiality agreements. As of now, there has been no official statement from local authorities in Morocco or the British government regarding his whereabouts or status.
