KECEDERAAN lutut dialami atlit 110 meter lari berpagar negara, Muhd Faiz Mohamad ketika beraksi di Kejohanan Mini Olimpik, baru-baru ini meletakkan dirinya berdepan laluan sukar untuk mencari tempat dalam skuad ke Sukan Sea 2009 di Laos, Disember ini.

Atlit kelahiran Seremban itu mengakui dia kini bergelut untuk memulihkan kecederaan itu dengan mendapatkan perkhidmatan fisioterapi untuk mengejar masa agar dapat beraksi pada temasya dwitahunan itu.

"Tahun ini nasib agak kurang baik kerana kecederaan dialami semasa Kejohanan Mini Olimpik, baru-baru ini. Namun, saya tidak akan patah semangat untuk berusaha dan kembali ke landasan terbaik menjelang pemilihan ke Sukan Sea pada Kejohanan Olahraga Kebangsaan 2009 yang akan diadakan selepas Aidilfitri nanti.

"Harapan saya kecederaan ini dapat pulih secepat mungkin dan membolehkan menjalani latihan pemilihan itu walaupun waktu agak terbatas, tambahan pula, bulan puasa yang membataskan sedikit latihan berbanding hari biasa," kata Muhd Faiz, semalam.

Muhd Faiz adalah antara tiga atlit acara itu yang memburu tempat ke temasya sukan berprestij rantau ini selain Robani Hassan dan Rayzamshah Wan Soffian yang juga pemenang pingat emas pada temasya sama di Korat, dua tahun lalu dan Kesatuan Olahraga Amatur Malaysia (KOAM) dijangka menyenaraikan dua atlit bagi acara itu di temasya, tahun ini.

Pelari berpengalaman yang kini berkhidmat dengan Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM) itu tetap mahu memberi cabaran kepada dua pesaingnya itu kerana mahu mencatat rekod selaku atlit yang berjaya mewakili negara ke temasya berkenaan selama tiga kali berturut-turut.

Begitu pun, Muhd Faiz merasakan bahawa dia tetap akur andai peluang kali ini tertutup buatnya susulan kecederaan yang dialaminya.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so. "In this arena, the potentials and skills of the youngsters can be identified for development so that they can achieve greater success in sports," he said in his message in the souvenir book of the 12th Sukma from May 31 until June 9.

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
