PORT DICKSON: Terengganu Cycling Team (TSG) sprinter Harrif Salleh did not expect that his simple gesture of giving a water bottle to a fan would earn him a heavy fine from the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).

The penalty was imposed on Harrif during Stage Five from Temerloh to Fraser’s Hill on Friday, after he was found guilty of “rider disposing of waste outside of litter zones.”
