Paralympian Ziyad ready to put Olympics fiasco behind


PETALING JAYA: Paralympian Mohd Ziyad Zolkefli (pic) is ready to move on after an internal investigation committee found that there was no evidence to prove that he had arrived early at the call room during the Tokyo Games.

On Friday, Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu announced that based on findings by the committee, there was nothing that could prove that Ziyad and his coach Mohd Faizol Harun were innocent although they had assumed they had arrived before the registration period at the call room of the Tokyo Olympic Stadium last August.
