KUALA LUMPUR: Veteran bodybuilder Sazali Samad still yearns to represent the nation. And he has appealed to the Malaysian Body Building Federation (MBBF) to reduce his four-year ban.

In his first public appearance since being banned for a failed dope test on Dec 21 last year, the 47-year-old Sazali was apologetic over the failed test and hoped the MBBF would be lenient on him.
