Assalamualaikum w.b.t and evening guys!!
Before we begin lets start reading a dictionary first hehe..of course I wanted to know what is
According to Merriam-Webster (2012) doping is "the use of a substance (as an anabolic steroid or erythropoietin) or technique (as blood doping) to illegally improve athletic performance". This is considered as an efforts from the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) to detect any kind of doping during the Asean Games.
Alright buddyz...I guess that everyone have heard on the issues regarding our first gold medal won by Tai Cheau Xuen, 24, in Chinese martial arts women's nanquan and nandao all-round which have been withdrawn due to her failure in doping test of 'sibutramine' yesterday..hmm feel a bit shock and sad with the final result of doping test but still rules are rules that should be follow even in Sports :'(
However, my concern is not really focus on the doping result but I'm more curious on the causes behind all this controversial issue which had gave a huge impact especially towards the National Sport Council Malaysia and also for the rest of Malaysian community..my question is Why does there are no particular parties for instance like coach or NSC's (Majlis Sukan Negara) officer did not conduct any doping test towards all athletes before they were allowed to participated in this Asean Games?? Why now? Why after 'these' athletes have won the medal than they are doing the test? Are this issues were not taking seriously by the Malaysian athletes when they are supposed to inspire people up for all their hard work and dignity?
From The Rakyat Post (01/10/2014);
Asian Games organisers on Tuesday expelled Malaysia’s wushu gold medal-winner Tai Cheau Xuen, after she failed a drug test, becoming the tournament’s third doping case.
Tai, 24, was tested after winning the Chinese martial art’s women’s nanquan and nandao all-round event on September 20, Malaysia’s first gold medal of the Games.
She was found to have taken the stimulant sibutramine, the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) said in a statement. The Asian Games involves 9,500 athletes from across the region.

It seems so strange when I read through it again and again..Either it was a conspiracy or what I wouldn't know but above all, I do really hope that all Malaysian athlete could gathered up their strength for another 3 days left and show their best efforts before end of Asean Games in 4th October 2014 (this coming Saturday)..
As for my question above, well it might take times for us to answer all of these..Plus, maybe it would be easy for us to be judgmental when discussing about this issue but we wouldn't know what was actually happen until we found the real truth...Stay strong Malaysian!! Be positive in everything that we has or might faced in life!!
