PETALING JAYA: Amateur Swimming Union of Malaysia (Asum) have revealed that their diver tested positive for sibutramine at the recent KL SEA Games.

Yesterday’s confirmation has raised hopes that the diver, if found guilty of doping, may receive a lighter penalty – ranging from a few months to a maximum of two years.
