Keputusan Chong Wei lebih awal



Kuala Lumpur: Mungkin bukan tiga minggu tetapi lebih awal buat bekas pemain nombor satu dunia, Datuk Lee Chong Wei mendapat keputusan penghakiman Persatuan Badminton Dunia (BWF).

Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) kini berusaha keras mendapatkan keputusan secepat mungkin selepas perbicaraan Sabtu lalu di Amsterdam.

Timbalan Presiden Datuk Mohamad Norza Zakaria berkata, BAM bukan mahu mendesak ahli panel BWF namun pihaknya menggunakan setiap saluran yang ada untuk mendapatkan keputusan secepat mungkin.

“Ia bagi membolehkan Chong Wei kembali beraksi ketika tarikh tutup kelayakan ke Kejohanan Dunia bakal berakhir 30 April ini selain kelayakan ke Sukan Olimpik 2016 bermula 1 Mei depan,” katanya.

Ujar Norza, mereka melakukan yang terbaik agar Chong Wei kembali beraksi segera.
“Kita tidak menyalahkan BWF dalam hal ini. Mungkin mereka memerlukan masa kerana ini kes berprofil tinggi dan seperti saya katakan kita akan mencari jalan selain berusaha untuk mengetahui keputusan secepat mungkin,” ujarnya.

Tiga ahli panel bebas, dua dari Eropah dan satu dari India yang mengadili kes Chong Wei masih belum membuat keputusan dan memberikan tempoh maksimum tiga minggu untuk keputusan dikeluarkan secara rasmi.

Ia bagaikan satu penantian penuh penyeksaan buat Chong Wei kerana tidak sabar kembali ke gelanggang selepas digantung sementara BWF sejak 11 November lalu kerana didapati menggunakan bahan terlarang, dexamethasone ketika beraksi pada Kejohanan Dunia di Copenhagen, Denmark, Ogos tahun lalu.

Jika keputusan diketahui selewat-lewatnya minggu depan, Chong Wei boleh beraksi pada Piala Sudirman di Dongguan, China (10 hingga 17 Mei) termasuk Sukan SEA Singapura (5 hingga 16 Jun) yang menyaksikan namanya disenaraikan oleh Pengarah Teknikal BAM, Morten Frost Hansen untuk segera mendapatkan rentak permainannya.

Chong Wei yang kini berada dalam ranking ke-17 dunia masih boleh layak ke Kejohanan Dunia (10 hingga 16 Ogos) biarpun dijangka kedudukannya jatuh ke tangga 31 ranking terbaru BWF yang akan dikeluarkan hari ini.

Mengulas lanjut mengenai keputusan sesi pendengaran Chong Wei, Norza, berkata kelewatan keputusan ahli panel BWF itu mungkin disebabkan terlalu banyak bukti yang dikemukakan pasukan pembelaan diketuai peguam Mike Morgan.

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...
