Tubuh jawatankuasa bersama

KUALA LUMPUR - Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) dan Kesatuan Olahraga Amatur Malaysia (KOAM) wajar menubuhkan jawatankuasa siasatan bersama bagi menyiasat isu berkaitan atlet olahraga yang melarikan diri ketika diarahkan untuk melakukan ujian doping, baru-baru ini.

Cadangan tersebut disuarakan Setiausaha Kehormat Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM), Datuk Sieh Kok Chi yang berpendapat masalah tersebut ditangani bersama kerana isu tersebut melibatkan disiplin atlet.
Katanya, melanggar arahan untuk menjalankan ujian doping adalah satu kesalahan disiplin yang boleh menyebabkan individu terlibat berhadapan hukuman berat.

"Selepas siasatan dijalankan, jawatankuasa siasatan tersebut berhak untuk mengenakan hukuman kepada mereka yang terlibat.

"Kebiasaannya hukuman gantung daripada menyertai kejohanan akan dikenakan namun itu semua bergantung kepada keputusan hasil siasatan," katanya ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia di sini, semalam.

Setakat ini hanya tiga daripada enam atlet olahraga yang terlibat telah menjalani ujian doping selepas berita kehilangan mereka dilaporkan media.

Bagaimanapun, Kok Chi berkata, seandainya hasil ujian yang dilakukan oleh tiga atlet tersebut positif mengunakan bahan terlarang maka pihak Institut Sukan Negara (ISN) sendiri yang akan menjalankan siasatan tanpa campur tangan pihak lain.

"Kes ini boleh dianggap berat jika hasil ujian mendapati mereka positif dan kebiasaannya ISN akan bertindak sebagai pihak yang neutral untuk menyiasat perkara ini sebaliknya MSN dan KOAM hanya berkuasa untuk menyiasat perkara berkaitan masalah disiplin sahaja.

"Seandainya tiga atlet tersebut positif sudah tentu tiga lagi yang belum menjalani ujian doping turut sama positif. Apa pun kita akan tunggu hasil ujian yang akan diperolehi pada dua atau tiga hari ini," kata Kok Chi.
Dalam pada itu, Kok Chi turut memberitahu MOM tidak mempunyai sebarang kuasa untuk campur tangan dalam masalah tersebut.

"Kita hanya akan terlibat secara automatik sekiranya kes ini berlaku ketika berlangsungnya temasya sukan besar seperti Sukan Asia, Komanwel atau sebagainya.

"Tetapi jika MSN dan KOAM mahu mendapatkan khidmat nasihat daripada MOM kami sedia untuk membantu," jelas Kok Chi.

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...
