Peluang Anuar rebut tempat

Kuala Lumpur: Rintihan Anuar Manan berhubung sikap Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM) yang mengenepikannya sebagai calon pilihan ke Sukan SEA, akhirnya didengari.
Anuar yang kini beraksi bersama pasukan benua, Baku Cycling Project akan dipanggil untuk sesi pemilihan khas yang akan diadakan PKBM sebelum senarai akhir pelumba negara bagi menyertai acara lebuh raya, ujian masa individu (ITT) dan ujian masa berpasukan (TTT) kategori elit lelaki, diumumkan.

Presiden PKBM Datuk Abu Samah Abd Wahab berkata, semua pelumba yang memegang lesen dikeluarkan badan induk itu layak menyertai sesi pemilihan dan antara lokasi dikenal pasti membabitkan pendakian di Genting Highlands serta Cameron Highlands.
Katanya, bukan hanya Anuar akan dipanggil, malah semua pelumba Adiq Hussainie Othman (Champion System Pro Cycling), Amir Mustafa Rusli (Drapac Professional Cycing Team) dan pelumba Terengganu Cycling Team (TSG) termasuk Saufi Mat Senan, Mohd Shahrul Mat Amin, Mohd Zamril Salleh serta Mohd Harrif Salleh akan turut dipelawa menghadiri sesi pemilihan itu.

“Saya hargai hasrat Anuar menamatkan kemarau pingat negara acara lebuh raya. Semangat ditunjukkan Anuar itu menunjukkan dia pelumba hebat dan kami akan menjemputnya untuk menyertai tiga pemilihan itu,” katanya.

Anuar sebelum ini meluahkan kekecewaannya kerana diketepikan PKBM tanpa sebab biarpun sudah membuktikan dia antara pelumba terbaik negara dalam aksi ‘one day race’.
Mengulas laluan ujian iaitu pendakian ke Genting Highlands serta Cameron Highlands, Abu Samah berkata, ia dipilih berdasarkan laluan pada temasya itu nanti yang akan membabitkan dua pendakian.

“Pada temasya Sukan SEA, pelumba perlu melepasi dua pendakian. Pendakian pertama membabitkan laluan setinggi 1,000m manakala pendakian kedua lebih daripada 1,200m. “Malaysia perlu memilih pelumba yang berkeupayaan mendaki dan biarpun Anuar lebih dikenali sebagai pakar pecut, dia masih berpeluang memenangi pingat emas kerana laluan selepas pendakian ada yang landai dan pelumba perlu berkayuh sejauh 21 kilometer lagi sebelum ke garisan penamat,” katanya.
Abu Samah yang juga Pengerusi Teknikal Bagi Acara Berbasikal Sukan SEA 2013 meletakkan harapan tinggi buat pasukan negara membawa pulang pingat selepas kali terakhir meraih emas pada Sukan SEA 2005 menerusi Suhardi Hassan dan Norazian Alias.

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...

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...
