US authorities are expected to dismiss charges against a Ugandan boxer who was arrested for allegedly circulating phony $100 notes on the eve of the Atlanta Olympic Games, federal sources said yesterday.

Charles Bakule Kizza, who remained in the Olympic Village on $10,000 bond this week after the Games ended, gave investigators the name of the counterfeiter who supplied him with bogus cash before he left Uganda for the United States.

Sources said the US Attorney's Office in Atlanta, a branch of the Justice Department, was awaiting confirmation that Ugandan police would take steps to apprehend and prosecute the counterfeiter. If Ugandan authorities agreed to do so, the federal prosecutors would ask a US magistrate to dismiss charges against the boxer.
