KOAM minta ihsan MSN


JIRONI (depan, kiri) merupakan antara atlet yang dicadangkan oleh KOAM untuk menjalani latihan di luar negara.

KESATUAN Olahraga Amatur Malaysia (KOAM) akan meminta Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) memberi lebih ruang kepada atlet pelapis untuk berlatih di luar negara.

Presiden KOAM, Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim berkata, badan induk itu telah menyenaraikan tujuh atlet pelapis yang menyerlah pada Sukan SEA 2009 di Laos serta beberapa kejohanan sejak awal tahun ini, untuk menjalani latihan di Eropah.

"Selama ini, atlet elit olahraga berpeluang untuk berlatih di luar negara dan KOAM kini bercadang memberi ruang kepada atlet pelapis pula untuk turut serta menjalani latihan di luar negara, bagi memberi pendedahan di peringkat antarabangsa kepada mereka," katanya semalam.


Beliau berkata, tujuh atlet pelapis yang dicadangkan meneruskan latihan di luar negara ialah Adi Alifuddin Hussain (lontar peluru), Mohd. Jironi Riduan (800m), S. Mathialagan (800m), S.Yuvaraj (800m), Norjanah Hafizah Jamaludin (200m), Nurul Sarah Abdul Kadir (200m) dan Siti Zubaidah Abadi (100m).
Shahidan berkata, penempatan atlet pelapis tersebut di luar negara bukan sekadar berlatih tetapi juga menyertai pertandingan di peringkat antarabangsa.

Dalam perkembangan lain, Shahidan berkata, atlet jaguh 400m berpagar negara, Noraseela Khalid yang tercedera sejak dua minggu lepas ketika berlatih di Afrika Selatan, mungkin tidak perlu kembali ke negara ini bagi menjalani rawatan lanjut.

Beliau berkata, berdasarkan laporan awal daripada jurulatih Noraseela, atlet terbabit hanya perlu menjalani rawatan lanjut di negara tersebut.

"Bagaimanapun, laporan kecederaan Noraseela yang dihantar oleh jurulatihnya, telah dihantar kepada MSN dan Institut Sukan Negara (ISN) untuk tindakan lanjut," katanya.

Shahidan juga berkata, Kejohanan Olahraga Remaja SEA yang dijadualkan berlangsung di Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil pada 26 hingga 27 Mei depan, terpaksa ditangguhkan ke suatu tarikh yang belum diputuskan. -

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...

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...
