Misteri Larkin' belum terungkai

CERITA insiden panas yang berlaku di dalam terowong Stadium Tan Sri Hassan Yunos, Larkin, Johor pada 1 Februari lalu masih lagi belum berakhir.

Semalam, pengurusan T-Team yang diketuai Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif pasukan itu, Ab. Rasid Jusoh serta ketua jurulatih, Mohd. Azraai Khor Abdullah telah mengadakan pertemuan dengan pihak kedutaan Brazil.



Difahamkan, pertemuan itu diadakan selepas Duta Brazil di Malaysia, Maria Auxiliadora Figueirado menerima laporan daripada dua pemain - Evaldo Rodrigues, Fabio Flor de Azivedo serta jurulatih kecergasan T-Team, Stefano Impagliazzo ekoran insiden di Larkin.

ā€œTujuan saya berada di sini (Kuala Terengganu) adalah bagi membincangkan dengan pihak pengurusan T-Team mengenai isu keselamatan pemain.

ā€œIa adalah sebahagian tugas pihak kedutaan Brazil untuk memastikan keselamatan rakyat kami di negara ini.

ā€œJika mereka berada dalam keadaan bahaya, kami tidak ada pilihan lain kecuali membawa pulang mereka dari negara ini,ā€ kata Figueirado.

Menurut Figueirado, beliau telah berbincang dengan Rodrigues, Fabio Flor dan Impagliazzo berhubung perkara tersebut, namun mereka sepakat untuk meneruskan khidmat bersama T-Team.
ā€œSaya percaya mereka sudah pasti pernah melihat pelbagai keganasan dalam sukan bola sepak sebelum ini.

ā€œAncaman keselamatan dalam bola sepak adalah perkara biasa dan saya fikir adalah malang kejadian ini berlaku.

ā€œBagaimanapun, saya percaya ketiga-tiga mereka telah melihat atau mendengar perkara yang lebih buruk berlaku di negara kami,ā€ ujarnya.

Turut serta dalam pertemuan itu semalam ialah Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Belia, Sukan dan Sumber Manusia negeri Terengganu, Rozi Mamat, Setiausaha Persatuan Bola Sepak Negeri Terengganu (PBSNT), Arpin Deraman dan penolong jurulatih T-Team, Azlan Johar.

Dalam pada itu, Rozi berkata, pihaknya akan menyerahkan kepada polis dan Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) bagi menyelesaikan siasatan berhubung insiden di Larkin.

ā€œKita telah buat apa yang perlu dan apa yang perlu kita lakukan sekarang adalah menunggu pihak berkuasa menyelesaikan siasatan mereka,ā€ katanya.

Pada insiden di Larkin itu, Rodrigues dan Impagliazzo didakwa dikasari ketika menuju ke bilik persalinan stadium berkenaan.

Insiden tersebut telah memaksa T-Team mengambil keputusan untuk tidak meneruskan perlawanan babak kedua atas faktor keselamatan.

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...
