Ahmad Faizal: Don’t use banned substances

Youth and Sports Minister Ahmad Faizal Azumu has warned all athletes, especially weightlifters, not to take shortcuts by using banned substances to achieve success.

The minister, who was disappointed that three Malaysia Games (Sukma) 2022 weightlifters from two states failed their pre-championship doping tests, said the problem could affect its listing as a core sport after it was previously dropped due to doping issues.
