Unit Risikan Adamas Pastikan Semua Terlibat Dadah Terima Hukuman

KUALA LUMPUR, 26 Mei (Bernama) -- Agensi Anti-Doping Malaysia (Adamas) dijangka menubuhkan unit risikannya sendiri bagi memastikan kesemua pihak yang terlibat dalam penyalahgunaan dadah dalam sukan menerima hukuman masing-masing.

Ketua Pengarah Institut Sukan Negara (ISN) Datuk Dr Ramlan Abdul Aziz berkata ketika ini siasatan yang dilakukan oleh Adamas terhadap atlet yang terlibat hanya bersifat seperti temuramah sahaja, yang berdasarkan laporan dari persatuan sukan dan sampel dari makmal.

"Amalan ini menyebabkan hanya atlet terbabit menerima hukuman tetapi pihak lain yang terlibat membekalkan dadah itu, terlepas daripada hukuman," katanya kepada Bernama, di sini hari ini.

Dr Ramlan sebelum ini berada di New Delhi, India bagi menghadiri seminar antara-kerajaan Asia mengenai anti-doping, yang berlangsung selama dua hari, bermula pada Isnin.

Seramai 53 peserta daripada 25 negara Asia hadir pada seminar itu termasuk empat negara yang menjadi anggota jawatankuasa Agensi Anti Doping Dunia (WADA) iaitu Jepun, China, Jordan dan Malaysia.

Penubuhan Unit Risikan itu membolehkan anggotanya mengenal pasti semua pihak yang bertanggungjawab dalam penyalahgunaan dadah sama ada jurulatih, anggota keluarga atau pihak lain di sekeliling atlet tersebut, katanya.

Dr Ramlan berkata bagi rantau Asia dan Ocenia, Australia merupakan perintis kepada Unit Risikan anti-doping dan selepas tiga tahun ditubuhkan, unit itu berjaya menjejaki pihak sebenar yang membekalkan dadah kepada atlet negara tersebut.

Beliau berkata di Australia, bagi setiap siasatan mengenai penyalahgunaan dadah di kalangan atlet, agensi anti-doping di negara itu akan membuka kertas siasatan dan adakalanya sesuatu siasatan mengambil masa sehingga dua tahun bagi memastikan setiap pihak yang terlibat akan menerima hukuman.

Beliau bagaimanapun berkata jawatankuasa Adamas yang dipengerusikan oleh timbalan presiden Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) Datuk Dr M.Jegathesan perlu terlebih dahulu berbincang dengan pihak lain yang terlibat dalam pencegahan penyalahgunaan dadah seperti Agensi Anti Dadah Kebangsaan (AADK) bagi memastikan fungsi kedua-dua badan itu tidak bertindih.

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...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...

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...
