Dua atlit kena ujian dadah

IAAF belum puas hati ujian kencing Norjannah dan Imran

KEKECOHAN yang timbul gara-gara melarikan diri daripada ujian anti-doping hujung Mei lalu menyaksikan dua atlit pecut negara, Norjannah Hafiszah Jamaludin (kanan) dan Nor Imran Hadi yang bertanding dalam Kejohanan Olahraga Dunia di Daegu, Korea Selatan Sabtu ini mendapat perhatian ‘istimewa’ dari Persekutuan Olahraga Antarabangsa Dunia (IAAF).

Ini kerana kedua-duanya sudah disenaraikan badan induk olahraga dunia itu untuk menjalani ujian darah pra pertandingan bagi mengesan sama ada mereka mengambil bahan terlarang atau tidak walaupun sebelum ini ujian air kencing yang dijalankan ke atas kedua-duanya di Bulgaria negatif.

Timbalan Presiden Kesatuan Olahraga Amatur Malaysia (KOAM), Karim Ibrahim, berkata IAAF sudah memaklumkan kepadanya bahawa kedua-dua atlit itu wajib menjalani ujian darah pra pertandingan pada Khamis ini, iaitu sehari selepas mereka tiba di Daegu.

“Saya yakin sekiranya isu anti-doping Norjannah dan Nor Imran yang timbul sebelum ini dapat diselesaikan secara berhemah dan tidak dihebohkan pada satu dunia, kedua-dua atlit ini mungkin tidak diwajibkan menjalani ujian darah berkenaan.

“Bagaimanapun, saya melihatnya dari sudut positif kerana bagus juga ujian darah itu dijalankan ke atas kedua-dua atlit itu dan berharap memperoleh keputusan negatif sekali gus ia boleh menutup terus mulut pihak tertentu yang menuduh mereka menggunakan bahan terlarang,” katanya dihubungi di Korea Selatan, semalam.

Karim berkata, ujian yang akan memberi penanda untuk setiap pasport biologi atlit itu membabitkan kerjasama IAAF dengan Agensi Anti Dadah Dunia (WADA) yang mampu mengesan bahan terlarang yang digunakan setiap atlit dalam tempoh enam bulan sebelum ujian dijalankan.

“Penyenaraian Norjannah dan Nor Imran menjalani ujian berkenaan agak unik kerana lazimnya atlit yang mempunyai nama besar dan pemenang pingat wajib menjalani ujian berkenaan sedangkan mereka belum pun memenangi pingat di Sukan SEA,” katanya.

Sebelum ini, Norjannah dan Nor Imran bersama Nurul Sarah Abd Kadir mencetuskan kontroversi apabila ‘melarikan diri’ ke Bulgaria selepas diarahkan menjalani ujian antidoping di Institut Sukan Negara (ISN), hujung Mei lalu.

"I am confident they (Uber Cup team) will be able to produce a similar surprise. Not only are they capable of reaching the semi-final, they can go further," he told reporters after having lunch with national shuttlers here Thursday. National badminton Team manager Datuk Syed Abu Bakar Abdullah who echoed the minister's confidence said: "In Laos, nobody expected the women's team to win the world, so why not the Uber Cup?

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...

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 ...
