RIZAL diramal berpeluang menggondol pingat emas dalam acara 1km ITT kerana menjuarai acara berkenaan di Kejohanan Sedunia 2009.

Desak masukkan 1km ITT dalam Sukan Asia

PERSEKUTUAN Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (MNCF) akan menulis surat rasmi meminta Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) mengemukakan rayuan kedua kepada Majlis Olimpik Asia (OCA) supaya acara 1 kilometer ujian masa individu (1km ITT) dapat dijadikan salah satu acara di Sukan Asia 2010 di Guangzhou, China.

Presidennya, Abu Samah Wahab menegaskan beliau sudah mengadakan perbincangan panjang lebar dengan Setiausaha Kehormat MOM, Datuk Sieh Kok Chi, semalam yang kemudian memintanya menulis surat rasmi kepada mereka.

Kata Abu Samah, melalui surat itu, MOM boleh mengemukakan kembali rayuan buat kali kedua supaya ia dapat dipertimbangkan pihak OCA.

"Melalui kenyataan dikeluarkan ACC, OCA bertanggungjawab membuat keputusan acara mana yang akan dimasukkan dalam Sukan Asia dan difahamkan hanya acara di Sukan Olimpik akan diadakan di Sukan Asia.

"Oleh itu, saya berasa Malaysia tidak dilayan secara adil kerana acara 500 meter ujian masa wanita juga bukan acara Sukan Olimpik namun ia dipertandingkan hanya kerana China mempunyai pelumba yang handal.

"Saya ingin memaklumkan kepada mereka bahawa acara ini wajar dijadikan acara rasmi bukan kerana Malaysia sahaja mempunyai pelumba yang handal, malah China juga memiliki dua pelumba bertaraf dunia iaitu Tang Wenhao dan Han Tao," katanya yang juga salah seorang Naib Presiden ACC dan juga Presiden Persatuan Berbasikal Asean (ACA).

Malaysia diramal berpeluang menggondol pingat emas dalam acara 1km ITT kerana Mohd Rizal Tisin adalah pemenang acara berkenaan di Kejohanan Sedunia 2009 di Poland biarpun gagal mempertahankan kejuaraan dalam acara berkenaan di Kejohanan Lumba Basikal Asia 2009 (ACC 2009) di Indonesia bulan ini.

Abu Samah juga berkata dia sudah membangkitkan isu itu di mesyuarat Kongres Konfederasi Berbasikal Asia (ACC) 2009 yang diadakan di Indonesia 14 Ogos lalu.

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...
