Penubuhan Jawatankuasa Khas Bam-KBS Perlu - Khairy

KUALA LUMPUR, 27 Okt (Bernama) -- Keputusan menubuhkan Jawatankuasa Khas Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) dan Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) perlu bagi memastikan persiapan dapat diambil jika ujian sampel B pemain badminton negara positif.

Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin berkata penubuhan jawatankuasa itu juga penting bagi memastikan segala maklumat berkaitan isu doping itu dapat diselaraskan.

"Jawatankuasa khas ini memang patut (ditubuhkan) sebab kita dimaklumkan, pada 4 atau 5 Nov ini ujian untuk sampel kedua (sampel B) akan dibuat. Kalau ujian itu negatif maka tiada masalah. Cuma dengan adanya jawatankuasa ini, dapat kita tahu dengan lebih teliti apa sebenarnya berlaku.

"Ia amat penting kerana apabila kita buat siasatan nanti dan segala persiapan dibuat...sekiranya ujian kedua positif, kita boleh merayu kepada Mahkamah Timbang Tara Sukan dan proses itu memerlukan jawatankuasa khas daripada BAM dan KBS," katanya selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat Exco Pemuda Umno di Menara Dato Onn di sini, pada Isnin.

Khairy diminta mengulas pengumuman BAM semalam untuk menubuhkan Jawatankuasa Khas yang diketuai Timbalan Presidennya Datuk Norza Zakaria bagi membantu mempertahan pemainnya yang didapati gagal ujian doping baru-baru ini.

Semalam, Norza turut mengesahkan bahawa bahan terlarang yang diambil atlet terbabit ialah 'dexamethasone' iaitu sejenis ubat penahan sakit untuk kecederaan yang dialaminya.

Sebelum ini, laporan media tempatan mendedahkan seorang atlet tersohor negara yang meraih pelbagai kejuaraan di pentas antarabangsa didapati gagal dalam ujian doping sampel A dan positif menggunakan bahan terlarang.

Insiden itu didakwa berlaku ketika pemain berkenaan beraksi dalam Kejohanan Badminton Dunia di Copenhagen, Denmark pada Ogos lepas.

Ditanya kemungkinan KBS melaksanakan 'tindakan dalaman' pada masa akan datang sebagai langkah tegas mengawal atlet negara daripada terbabit dalam penyalahgunaan bahan terlarang, Khairy berkata langkah itu tidak perlu.

"Sesiapa yang bersalah dari segi doping, dia akan jalani penggantungan secara automatik selama dua tahun. Bagi saya, itu lebih tegas daripada apa-apa tindakan dalaman," katanya.

Mengenai keputusan Pesuruhjaya Sukan Ahmad Shapawi Ismail yang menggantung pendaftaran Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia seperti dilaporkan media Jumaat lepas, Khairy berkata persatuan itu mempunyai 30 hari untuk membuat rayuan.

Berhubung pencapaian atlet negara di Sukan Para Asia 2014 di Incheon, Korea Selatan baru-baru ini, Khairy berkata beliau akan bertemu dengan ketua kontinjen Datuk Ab Jalil Abdullah dan persatuan sukan terbabit esok.

Pada temasya itu, atlet paralimpik negara mengejutkan banyak pemerhati dengan kejayaan luar biasa apabila berjaya membawa pulang 15 pingat emas, 20 perak dan 27 gangsa untuk berada di kedudukan ketujuh secara keseluruhan

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...
