Cyclist, officials appeal against bans
Seven organizers and cyclist Chingby Marma have appealed for the exemption of the punishments given to them by the Bangladesh Cycling Federation last month after the federation found all guilty for aiding Marma during the 50-Km road race of the 11th South Asian Games.
"So far all of the punished organizers and players have appealed for the exemption of the punishment," said BCF ad-hoc committee general secretary Imtiaz Khan Babul, who is also member of the appeal committee.
Following the incident, that damaged the image of the host nation, Marma was declared disqualified for the competition.
The National Sports Council (NSC) dissolved the BCF after the Games and the ad-hoc committee launched a probe committee and they finally took the decision in light of the reports of the probe committees of BCF, NSC and BOA.
The then general secretary Parvez Alam was given a lifetime ban; judge Ruhul Amin was suspended for three years, while joint-secretary and manager of the women's cycling team Jobaira Rahman Linu, former general secretary Walid Hossain and judges Golam Mostafa and Abdul Kuddus were given a one-year suspension each.
Cyclist Chingby Marma was handed a three-month suspension and the punished were allowed to appeal against the decision in one month as the BCF executive committee took that decision on July 31.
