KUALA LUMPUR: The Amateur Swimming Union of Malaysia (Asum) have acted fast to suspend the allowances of seven national divers with immediate effect for consuming alcohol during an overseas training stint in China – and more disciplinary action is set to follow.

The impending sentence for the disgraced seven could either be as light as having their allowances cut by half for two months or a drastic decision of being dropped from the Asian Games in Jakarta in August.
