MOM akan 'bicara' Yunus, Firdaus

KUALA LUMPUR - Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) akan mengarahkan dua atlet pemenang pingat emas dan gangsa negara, Yunus Lasaleh dan Firdaus Razak yang disahkan positif dalam ujian doping pada Sukan SEA Indonesia, November lalu, hadir memberikan keterangan pada sesi pendengaran khas yang akan dikendalikannya.

Presiden MOM, Tunku Imran Tuanku Ja'afar berkata, sesi itu bertujuan memberikan peluang yang adil untuk kedua-duanya membela diri dan menjelaskan keadaan sebenar serta bagaimana boleh terlibat atau sama ada pihak lain turut memaksa mereka mengambilnya.

Namun, MOM tidak mempunyai kuasa untuk menjatuhkan sebarang hukuman.
Sebaliknya, kata beliau, hasil penemuan daripada sesi pendengaran itu akan dilaporkan semula kepada Persekutuan Sukan SEA (SEAGF) dan Jawatankuasa Pengelola Sukan SEA Indonesia (Inasoc) selaku pihak yang bertanggungjawab mengendalikan temasya dwitahunan ke-26 itu di Palembang dan Jakarta.

"Sebarang hukuman pun hanya akan dikenakan oleh badan induk antarabangsa sukan yang disertai kedua-dua atlet itu (olahraga dan angkat berat) serta Agensi Antidadah Dunia (WADA) yang biasanya penggantungan dua tahun jika didapati bersalah buat kali pertama," katanya selepas mesyuarat khas lembaga MOM di Wisma MOM di sini, semalam.

Kata Tunku Imran, SEAGF bagaimanapun hanya berhak merombak keputusan atau membatalkan kedua-dua atlet itu sekiranya didapati bersalah, menarik balik pingat yang mereka menangi dan menyerahkan kepada atlet lain yang berkedudukan terhampir dalam acara berkenaan (4x400 meter olahraga dan 94-105 kilogram angkat berat lelaki).

"Ketika mesyuarat tadi, saya turut berbual menerusi telefon dengan Rita Subowo (Pengerusi Inasoc dan Ketua Umum Jawatankuasa Sukan Kebangsaan Indonesia - KONI) dan dia bersetuju untuk membenarkan MOM mengendalikan sesi pendengaran ini bagi pihak mereka. Kami juga memaklumkan hasrat untuk menyelesaikan kes ini dengan segera," katanya.

Mengenai penyerahan petisyen oleh 58 atlet dan jurulatih olahraga kepada Kesatuan Olahraga Malaysia (KOM) yang menuntut penyingkiran Timbalan Presidennya, Datuk Karim Ibrahim, kata Tunku Imran, mereka dialu-alukan untuk menubuhkan sebuah panel siasatan yang bebas dan majlis sedia membantu memberikan nasihat sekiranya terdapat permintaan kesatuan.

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 ...
