Kejutan menanti atlet elak doping - UTUSAN MALAYSIA


KUALA LUMPUR - Ujian doping ke atas tiga atlet olahraga yang berada di Bulgaria tidak boleh dilakukan secara tergesa-gesa, kerana ia harus berjalan dengan sempurna untuk mewujudkan elemen "kejutan" kepada mereka yang terlibat.

Ketua Pengarah Institut Sukan Negara (ISN), Datuk Dr. Ramlan Abd. Aziz mengakui, ramai yang mempersoalkan bila kesemua atlet berkenaan akan menjalani ujian doping seperti tiga lagi rakan mereka di Malaysia, masalahnya ramai yang tidak faham bahawa proses tersebut tidak semudah yang disangka.

Tegasnya, masalah logistik menjadi punca kelewatan untuk melaksanakan ujian yang sempurna, apatah lagi ujian tersebut bukan dilakukan oleh ISN sendiri, sebaliknya mereka akan menggunakan pihak ketiga iaitu Pertubuhan Anti-Doping Serantau (RADO) Eropah.

"Tindakan sudah diambil. Kita sudah mengesan atlet berkenaan dan mencari waktu yang sesuai untuk melakukan ujian secara mengejut bukan menerusi temujanji. Kalau hendak buat temujanji, ia mungkin lebih mudah tetapi itu bukan prosedur terbaik untuk doping.

"Sebab itu saya kalau boleh enggan mengulas banyak kepada pihak media mengenai perkara ini, kerana jika banyak maklumat yang diberitahu, maka elemen kejutan itu sudah tidak ada lagi, tetapi saya faham ramai orang yang tertanya-tanya tentang perkembangan isu ini, jadi mereka perlu juga menjelaskannya,'' ujar Dr. Ramlan.

Tegas Dr. Ramlan, walaupun ujian tidak semestinya hanya dilakukan di Bulgaria, dalam kata lain boleh dibuat di Malaysia apabila mereka pulang daripada latihan di Eropah, namun beliau sebolehnya mahu perkara itu diselesaikan sebelum mereka kembali ke tanah air.

Katanya, dengan memastikan semua atlet tersebut menjalani ujian di Bulgaria, ISN memberi mesej jelas kepada atlet kebangsaan yang lain bahawa mereka tidak boleh lepas daripada tanggungjawab dan boleh dicari walau di mana mereka berada.

"Kalau boleh saya mahu ujian dibuat di Bulgaria, biar atlet yang lain tahu bahawa mereka boleh dicari tidak kira di mana mereka berada,'' tegasnya.

Tiga atlet olahraga yang sebelum ini gagal menghadiri ujian doping di ISN pada 24 Mei lalu adalah Norjannah Hafizah Jamaluddin, Nurul Sarah Kadir dan Noor Imran Hadi. Mereka dilaporkan berada di Sofia, bagi tujuan latihan dan menyertai beberapa pertandingan.

Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’

Saya setuju. We are working on more coaches! “ @ManOlimpik : Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’ http://t.co/7D7wmHWaNy ” — Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) June 10, 2014 The benchmark. Can our junior athletes train as hard as Malaysia's world No.1 badminton player, Lee Chong Wei? “IT IS okay lah. The training is not too bad lah. I will try lah … Wah, so hard lah today.” These are some of the common statements I hear from our juniors nowadays. It is not only in badminton. It is the easy-going, laid-back attitude and lack of competitiveness at grassroots level that we have problems producing quality players. I have travelled quite a bit. After ending my decade-long career with the national team, I went to play in the league in Europe. It’s different there. The European athletes know what they want. And they do it with real focus. Even the young ones possess admirable self-control and show a high level of commitment. During my time in the ...

Organising Major Sports Events Can Inspire Sports Culture Among The People - Khairy

PUTRAJAYA, June 5 (Bernama) -- Organising major sports events can help inspire sports culture among the people and ensure a healthy lifestyle said Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin. Khairy said the Tour of Malaysia cycling race organised since 1963, for example, can encourage more people to take the sport in a more competitive way or just for recreation purposes. "A study carried out by a world renown medical journal, The Lancet, revealed that 61 percent of adults in Malaysia do not engage themselves in active sports. "A study by the Health Ministry revealed that only 25 percent of Malaysians exercise," he said in his speech when launching the 2013 Tour of Malaysia (Jelajah Malaysia) at the Youth and Sports Ministry, here, Wednesday. "Cycling, though not as popular here as in countries like Denmark, the activity is becoming popular among the people as can be seen through an increase in sale of bicycles for recreation," he sa...

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 ...
