He also competed in the 400 metre individual race, but failed to make the semifinals. Sang took part in the 1987 All Africa Games in Nairobi, the 1998 African Championships in Athletics and the 1989 IAAF World Cup.

He was also involved with sports administration and, at the time of his death, was the chairman of the National Association of Kenyan Olympians (NAKO). After initial reports that Sang was "hacked to death", it later emerged that he was attacked and killed by a stone-throwing gang in the town of Eldoret on New Year"s Day 2008, while on the way to his home at Kimumu, during the violence gripping Kenya in the aftermath of the controversial December 2007 presidential elections.
That is very unlikely though because he looked disticintly Kalenjin and he would surely have spoken the language.
Other reports say that Sang was killed by his Kikuyu neighbors as he led a group Kalenjin men to attack them. This version was corroborated to Entertainment and Sports Programming Network by a Kikuyu man who was one of the attackers as well as a Kalenjin man who had been conscripted to join in the attack.
