In the 1996 Summer Paralympics Allek won gold medals in the T37 100 m and 200 m but missed out on a medal in the 400 m. Four years later in Sydney he made amends and won a clean sweep of the T37 sprint gold medals. In 2004 he was only able to compete in the 200 m and only won a bronze. In Beijing in 2008 he competed in the 100 m, 200 m and as part of the Algerian 4 × 100 m squad but failed to win any medals for the first time.[1]
Allek died in Algiers on the night of 7–8 March 2016, at the age of 41.[2]
