PKBM senarai pelumba percubaan

Kuala Lumpur: Selepas diselubungi kontroversi rentetan kegagalan di Sukan SEA Myanmar, ketua jurulatih Aminuddin Sulaiman akan menampilkan barisan percubaannya di Ronda Pilipinas 2014, 1 Februari ini. Perlumbaan itu sebagai pemanas badan menjelang Le Tour de Langkawi 2014 (LTdL 2014).

Sudah pasti kudrat Loh Sea Keong - pelumba Pro Tour Giant Shimano ditagih dan Aminuddin kini berdepan masalah apabila seorang lagi tonggak, Muhammad Fauzan Ahmad Lufti disahkan masih mengalami kecederaan kronik bahagian belakang.

Justeru, Aminuddin kini hanya mampu mempertaruhkan Muhammad Rauf Nur Misbah, Suhardi Hassan, Mohd Nor Rizuan Zainal, Nik Mohd Azwan Zulkiflie, Mohd Ekbar Zamanhuri dan Amirul Anuar Jafri bagi menghadapi kejohanan 14 peringkat sejauh 1,776 kilometer yang melibatkan kawasan pergunungan di sekitar Baguio.

Presiden Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (MNCF), Datuk Abu Samah Abd Wahab menegaskan keputusan untuk menyertai Ronda Pilipinas 2014 adalah bagi mengukur kekuatan semasa kombinasi pelumba berpengalaman dan muda.

“Walaupun dibelenggu kontroversi kerana gagal di Sukan SEA 2013, kita masih terus merancang perjalanan skuad lebuh raya negara.

“Antaranya ialah dengan menyertai Ronda Filipinas 2014.Awalnya kami mahukan Sea Keong turut serta ke Filipina. Namun pasukannya mengesahkan dia akan mulakan kempen di Eropah.

“Penyertaan di Ronda Pilipinas 2014 membuktikan kami masih berada di landasan terbaik untuk menampilkan skuad terbaik di LTdL 2014 nanti. Kita masih ada tiga pelumba yang kuat mendaki iaitu Muhammad Rauf Nur, Suhardi dan Nik Mohd Azwan,” katanya.

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...
