MNCF suspends cycling coach's licence after sexual assault charge
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian National Cycling Federation (MNCF) has suspended former national cyclist Nor Effandy Rosli 's coaching licence with immediate effect after he was charged with sexually assaulting a 15-year-old female trainee last year. MNCF president Datuk Amarjit Singh Gill said the federation acted swiftly to protect the integrity of the sport and the safety of athletes. "MNCF will not tolerate any licence holder found to have violated the country's laws, the Safe Sport Code, or the UCI Code of Ethics, especially in cases involving minors," said Amarjit in a statement on Thursday. He said the federation would monitor the case and take further action based on the court's decision. Nor Effandy, 58, was not coaching with the national or any state team at the time of the alleged incident but was attached to a private cycling club. Amarjit, who is also a lawyer and president of the Asian Cycling Confederation (ACC), said athlete safety, especially of minors, remains the federation's priority. MNCF reminded all involved in the sport — athletes, coaches, officials and administrators — to uphold a safe environment and report any misconduct to the federation or authorities. Nor Effandy, a 1998 Commonwealth Games silver medallist, pleaded not guilty before Judge Norshila Kamaruddin at the Ampang Sessions Court. He was charged under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act, read with Section 16(1), which carries a maximum 20-year jail term and whipping. He also faces an additional sentence of up to five years' jail and at least two strokes of the rotan under Section 16(1).
