Two athletes tested positive for banned substanced.

Two Malaysian athletes who competed in the Indonesia Sea Games were found to have tested positive for banned substance. Unconfirm reports suggest the athletes are from athletics and weightlifting. The matter was first highlighted by Astro Arena's Nadi Arena last night. The sample B will now be tested as the Olympic Council of Malaysia has been asked by the Indonesian organisers to provide a clarification - as reported in today's Mailsport. If found guilty, the athletes will be slapped with a two year ban and their awards withdrawn. HD says: Sigh!

Two hauled up for doping

Two UniKL players failed anti-doping tests as the Malaysian Hockey Federation will now decide on the next course of action. Read S.Ramaguru's full report as published in The Star here.

It is learnt that no hockey player has been caught for performance- enhancing drugs. Word on the street is that some of the younger athletes are hooked on recreational drugs. They just would like to goyang, goyang kepala especially on the weekends. Perhaps the National Sports Institute could select a larger pool of athletes during its random anti-doping tests and if proven, these athletes should be handed with heavy suspensions. Then let's see if their kepala will goyang. However, SS Dhaliwal believes it was a " it was a targeted test". Read MHF leaks here . HD says: Sigh!
