苏睿勇已向奥委会和新加坡田径总会发律师信函

马拉松两届冠军苏睿勇近日与新加坡国家奥林匹克委员会(SNOC),以及新加坡田径总会(SA)卷入东南亚运动会选角纷争,目前已向两协会发律师信函,指控他们在未举办任何听证会或给他辩护的机会,已“违反自然公义的基本原则“。 帖文中,苏睿勇表示并不会针对新加坡国家奥林匹克委员会(SNOC)的选手人选决定提出上诉。 但为了新加坡运动员的权益与未来,会正式透过司法途径向本地体育理事机构施压,以正其管理透明度与问责制度。 苏睿勇指控指,新加坡田径总会同日也向当地的田径管理机构发出毁谤信件,而新加坡国家奥林匹克委员会采用高度主管、不一致或武断的标准,无视选拔的基本原则。 最后,他向新加坡田径总会执行董事Malik Aljunied与奥委会主席陈川仁发出律师信函,并邀请两人于8月13日下午5点前,能出面以和平尊重的方式解决,期间将保留一切追究法律的责任。 上周,奥委会指出,遴选委员会已审慎审核全国体育协会呈交的选手名单,指苏睿勇自2017年东运会以来,作为国家代表和青年运动员的典范,却表现出“不符合该委会期望的态度和行为”。 对此苏睿勇曾形容,奥委会主席陈川仁等人的做法,拘泥小节,“这就好像小学里的“游乐场政治”,就因为你说了他们不喜欢的话,他们就“不跟你好了”!” 本社日前报道,新加坡田径总会执行董事赛易(译名,Syed Abdul Malik Aljunied)表示,已“暂时”把苏睿勇封锁在总会的聊天群组和社媒平台外,包括whatsapp、脸书、推特和Instagram等,避免后者在这些平台发文,带来负面影响。…
