I was initially told they had issues with fuel availability but before they could finish the preparation, it was already past noon.

When I got there, I couldn\u2019t see the police escort and I didn\u2019t even have the address of where I was going. So I decided to go back and I apologize mostly to those waiting for me at the venue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watch the full interview here.<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: AnnSports (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
