A PTAM spokesman claimed they were still waiting for the letter which should have arrived Tuesday. The case, he said would be brought up at a PTAM executive council meeting chaired by president Tan Sri Isa Samad after they had received the letter before a hearing on the athlete concerned by PTAM's disciplinary committee.

"The decision we received from the laboratory in India has been sent to MSN for further action, so MSN is responsible for issuing the letter on the decision as they are the rights holders of Sukma," he said. – Bernama
