BWF bakal perkenal teknologi baru

Kuala Lumpur: Badminton dijangka mengikut jejak langkah tenis dan bolasepak dengan memperkenalkan teknologi baru bagi mengkaji keraguan terhadap keputusan penjaga garisan.
Satu ujian akan dimulakan pada Piala Sudirman di Kuala Lumpur bulan depan sebelum sistem baru itu digunakan sepenuhnya pada Terbuka Indonesia September ini, menurut Persekutuan Badminton Dunia (BWF) semalam.

“Apa yang kami lakukan sama dengan sukan lain, peraturan dan prinsip pada dasarnya sama dengan sukan seperti tenis, sekalipun teknologi dan prosesnya mungkin sedikit berbeza,” kata Timbalan Presiden BWF Paisan Rangsikitpho.

“Akhirnya kami mahu memantapkan integriti perlawanan dan keputusan yang dibuat.” Namun, sistem baru itu masih dalam peringkat perancangan dan BWF masih belum memutuskan teknologi yang akan digunakan, tidak sampai sebulan sebelum Piala Sudirman.

“Keputusan ini lebih mengenai peraturan berbanding teknologi sebenar yang digunakan,” kata Rangsikitpho.

“Kami masih menimbangkan beberapa pilihan tapi ia tetap sistem menggunakan kamera yang memungkinkan pengadil mengkaji semula keputusan penjaga garisan dengan teknologi gerak perlahan.
“Kami mahu mekanikal operasi ini berjalan lancar dan memastikan kedua-dua pemain dan pegawai perlawanan memahami bagaimana ia patut dilakukan, langkah demi langkah. Itulah keutamaan kami ketika ini.” Sistem Hawk-Eye dari Britain kini digunakan secara meluas dalam sukan tenis begitu juga dalam perlawanan kriket antarabangsa.

Bulan ini, Liga Perdana Inggeris mengesahkan penggunaan Hawk-Eye bermula musim depan, yang pertama bagi liga bolasepak domestik manakala badan induk dunia FIFA memilik sistem GoalControl dari Jerman untuk digunakan pada Piala Konfederasi tahun ini.

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...
