Former Olympic boss turns up in Egypt (4)

I believe the answer is:

suez

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in egypt' is the definition.
(I know that Suez is part of Egypt)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for suez that I've seen before include "Canal, cause of Crisis" , "African city" , "Isthmus connecting Egypt to Sinai" , "Middle East canal" , "Nineteen fifty six crisis" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
