Kuala Lumpur: The Indonesian SEA Games Organising Committee (Inasoc) has requested the Malaysian Athletic Union (MAU) to suspend its ongoing investigation into the doping scandal involving a member of the SEA Games gold medal winning men's 4x400m quartet.MAU President Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim said Inasoc had made the request through the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) Monday and the MAU would stop the investigations carried out by the Special Doping Investigation Committee for the past three days.

"The directive to stop the investigation was made by Inasoc after the OCM had raised doubts as to whether B Sample was sent to the anti-doping laboratory in Bangkok according to the right procedure or not," he told reporters here Monday.

The Special Doping Investigation Committee is made up of members from OCM, National Sports Council, IAAF and Anti-Doping Agency of Malaysia. - Bernama
