PKBM - Tunggu penilaian Beasley

Muhammad Adiq Husainie Othman pilihan utama ke Olimpik London. 
 
KUALA LUMPUR - Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM) perlu menunggu laporan daripada jurulatih mengenai prestasi setiap pelumba lebuh raya sebelum boleh menyenaraikan mereka secara rasmi ke Olimpik London.

Presiden Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM), Abu Samah Abd. Wahab berkata, ia merupakan sebab badan induk berbasikal negara itu terpaksa melanjutkan tempoh mengumumkan dua nama pelumba ke Olimpik.

Menurutnya, ketika ini terdapat beberapa pelumba yang berada dalam senarai pendek berada di luar negara bersama kelab yang mereka sertai dan PKBM akan menilai laporan setiap jurulatih pasukan terlibat pada mesyuarat pemilihan yang bakal diadakan pada 15 Jun ini.

"Kita mahu membuat keputusan yang adil agar tidak timbul isu berbangkit berhubung pemilihan pelumba lebuh raya ke Sukan Olimpik.

"Ketua jurulatih John Beasley turut akan berada dalam mesyuarat pemilihan nanti bagi menilai secara adil pelumba yang benar-benar layak," kata Abu Samah.

Kelmarin PKBM diberikan kebenaran oleh Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) untuk menangguhkan pengumuman rasmi dua pelumba lebuh raya ketika badan sukan lain yang telah melayakkan diri ke Olimpik sudah mengumunkan senarai atlet mereka.

Badan induk berbasikal negara itu dibenarkan untuk mengumumkan nama atlet tersebut sehingga 16 Jun ini.

Sementara itu, Abu Samah berkata, Beasley bakal memikul tugas sebagai jurulatih bagi acara trek dan lebuh raya pada temasya Olimpik kali ini.

"Kita memperoleh kuota yang tidak begitu banyak untuk pegawai, sebab itu Beasley dipertanggungjawabkan untuk membimbing dua acara tersebut ketika Sukan Olimpik nanti.

"Saya juga yakin penangguhan pengumuman nama pelumba lebuh raya tidak mengganggu persiapan menghadapi Sukan Olimpik," katanya.

Mengikut ranking lima senarai pendek pelumba lebuh raya untuk ke Olimpik, Muhammad Adiq Husainie Othman masih menjadi pelumba pilihan berdasarkan pretasi semasa.

Calon kedua ialah pelumba Terengganu Cycling Team (TSG), Mohd. Harrif Salleh manakala calon ketiga dan keempat pula ialah Zamri Salleh dan Amir Mus tafa Rusli.

Pakar pecut negara Anuar Manan untuk di senaraikan ke Olimpik agak kabur dan menjadi pilihan terakhir.

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...
