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.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
