Nur Syaiful disqualified but he’ll shoulder the setback

Sunk by rules: Nur Syaiful was disqualified for swimming with a plaster to cover his boil in the men’s 200m freestyle S5 yesterday.

PETALING JAYA: It was not the storming Paralympics debut Muhd Nur Syaiful Zulkafli was looking for but he is not disheartened.

The 26-year-old clocked 2:59.01 but missed out on the chance to make the final of the men’s 200m freestyle S5 (physical disabilities) after he was disqualified for an infraction.
