2 Thais sanctioned for shady judging in aquatics

http://news.inq7.net/breaking/index....story_id=58416

LOS BAÑOS, Laguna -- At least two Thai aquatics officials have been sanctioned by the Fina (international aquatics federation) for “shady judging” among other things, Philippine Amateur Swimming Association president Mark Joseph said on Thursday.


Joseph said that in aquatics, one Thai judge was disciplined by the Fina neutral referee from New Zealand for “obviously favoring his own diver.”

In water polo, according to Joseph, another Thai referee was banned from the deck because of “intentional bad calls and unfair player exclusions.”

He said the referee “destroyed the Vietnam team” and was never allowed to be on the deck again by the Fina neutral delegate from Iran.

Joseph refused to name the two Thai referees.


oh hah!!!!

Anyway, your still young in the ways of the world. You go ot there and see it for yourself. You will have a hands on experience abot cheating when yor time comes.

Anyway, "your" team is leading. Enjoy it. Im still cheering for Vietnam and Thailand to catch up.

Isnt it great? A filipino cheering for the Thais and the Viets? In that way, they cant say that we Filipinos are biased to our own athletes.

RP medal roll slows down amid Thai PM attack
By Jon Hernandez III
Friday, 12 02, 2005




On a day when sports officials spent time parrying cheating allegations, Filipino athletes gradually lost steam with only golds from rowing, gymnastics, judo and fencing breaking the spell in the 23rd Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games).



Benjie Tolentino became the second triple gold medalist after diver Shiela Mae Perez when he and teammate Alvin Amposta ruled the lightweight men's double sculls event early in the morning at the La Mesa Dam.



Tolentino's record gold haul and rowing's very first overall championship since 1977 was made possible due to the tinkering made by national coach Ed Maerina on the rowers' pairings.

This gives me hope that soon my favorites thailand and vietnam will catch up the leading team.

Thailand apologizes for SEAG outburst

http://www.philstar.com/philstar/News200512020401.htm


Thai sports officials apologized to the Philippines yesterday for the remarks reportedly made by Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra complaining about the alleged unfair officiating in the ongoing 23rd Southeast Asian Games (SEAG) in Manila.

Chaiyapak Siriwat, vice president of the Thailand Olympic Council, extended his apologies to Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Jose "Peping" Cojuangco and other members of the Southeast Asian Games Federation Council (SEAGF) over the issue.

"The report was inappropriate and I feel sorry for this. On behalf of the Thailand Sports Council, I apologize for whatever inconvenience brought about by the senseless report," Siriwat told the SEAG Federation Council meeting at the Hyatt Hotel yesterday.

Siriwat neither confirmed nor denied the report, saying they are still awaiting a formal communication from the Thai premier.

Siriwat said the Thai deputy prime minister will be arriving tomorrow to clarify the issue.

Thai newspaper reports had Thaksin expressing doubts about the fairness of judges officiating at the Southeast Asian Games (SEAG). "I often watched these games and kept thinking ‘Why do results turn out to be that way?’ I don’t know what to say," Thaksin was quoted as saying.

Siriwat said he was surprised after being informed by Cojuangco and other SEAG members of the comments during the meeting.

He said he had yet to receive any complaint of irregularities or any kind of manipulation from the Thai athletes, officials or technical groups.

"As far as I’m concerned I haven’t received any complaint from the athletes," Siriwat said.

Thai sports minister Gen. Charouck Arirachakaran and Thai chief of mission Charoen Wattasin accompanied Siriwat in extending their apologies.

Philippine sports officials led by Cojuangco readily accepted their apologies.

"Our Thai friends were here even before the start of the (SEA) Games," Cojuangco pointed out.

He added the Thai sports officials were also witnesses to the judging of the events.

"Their continuing support will prove only that they see nothing wrong with our hosting," Cojuangco said.

POC chairman Robert Aventajado, for his part, said the issue should now be disregarded with the apologies offered by the Thai sports officials.

"I think this is a non-issue considering that our Thai counterparts personally saw the whole picture and have no complaint," Aventajado said.

now... what can you say...? ? ?
