Lantik peguam bantu Chong Wei



Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) bercadang melantik peguam pengalaman dalam kes doping, Mike Morgan berhubung isu Datuk Lee Chong Wei yang didapati positif ujian air kencing sampel A.

Menurut Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar, Morgan berpengalaman mengendalikan kes doping membabitkan acara sukan.

“Morgan juga sudah membuat persiapan mengenai hujah-hujah jika atlet berkenaan didapati positif menggunakan dadah,” katanya.

Jelasnya, peguam terbabit akan memainkan peranan bagi memastikan pemain badminton nombor satu dunia itu menerima hukuman paling minimum jika ujian sampel B didapati positif.

“Saya tidak boleh beri sebarang kenyataan rasmi hingga Persatuan Badminton Dunia (BWF) mengumumkannya dan mereka juga memberi amaran kepada saya untuk tidak memberi sebarang komen.

“KBS sentiasa memainkan peranan dalam isu doping sejak hari pertama lagi dan jika atlet didapati positif, kami akan periksa semua rekodnya termasuk perubatan bagi mengenal pasti rawatan yang dijalankan mungkin mempengaruhi ujian dadah itu,” katanya.

Dalam pada itu, Khairy berkata, keputusan ujian sampel B sudah diketahui semalam, tetapi ia akan disalurkan terlebih dulu kepada BWF menerusi Agensi Anti-Doping Antarabangsa (WADA), sebelum mengikut semua prosedur yang ditetapkan.

“Selepas mengenal pasti keputusan, barulah boleh buat pengumuman,” katanya yang tidak mahu memberi sebarang kemungkinan mengenai isu itu kerana masih terlalu awal dan membiarkan BWF saja yang mengumumkannya.

Ujarnya, KBS sudah mengeluarkan banyak belanja untuk melantik peguam dan juga memeriksa makanan tambahan, minium dan gel rambut yang digunakan Chong Wei dalam isu doping ini.

“KBS juga bersedia menghadapi kemungkinan jika keputusan sampel B positif. Saya juga sentiasa menghubunginya sejak hari pertama kes ini dan memberi kata-kata semangat, menyuruhnya agar bersabar.

“Jika positif ia bukan episod akhir buat atlet berkenaan kerana masih ada prosedur untuk mengesahkan kes ini,” katanya.

Kelmarin, pemenang pingat perak Sukan Olimpik 2008 (Beijing) dan 2012 (London) itu menyaksikan sendiri ujian sampel B dilakukan dua saintis dilantik WADA di Hospital Universiti Oslo, Norway pada jam 9 pagi bersamaan 4 petang waktu Malaysia.

Arena Badminton negara dikejutkan dengan Chong Wei gagal ujian doping bahan terlarang dexamethasone pada Kejohanan Badminton Dunia di Denmark Ogos lalu.

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...
