SEPANG (Bernama): National shot put coach Mohd Faizol Harun has taken full responsibility for the disqualification of Muhammad Ziyad Zolkefli at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics. Mohd Faizol said that as the athlete’s coach, he was the one closest to Muhammad Ziyad during the Games. He also denied there was any sabotage involved, adding instead that it was a technical mistake while insisting that he and Muhammad Ziyad arrived on time at the call room. “We reached on time and the Ukraine coach was still there. However, he said Muhammad Ziyad was finally allowed to enter after a discussion between the chief judge and a Ukraine coach.
