ASA is corrupt, useless

"We are also saddened that despite ASA officials having misled our government and the public, despite the fact that their actions and pronouncements were not in the best interest of Caster Semenya as an athlete and a person, despite the fact that ASA through its leadership brought South Africa into disrepute in the eyes of the international community, the ASA meeting could find no one to bring to book on these matters and could not even propose a process through which these failures could be corrected," Mthembu said.

SHOOT: Simple, if you tell lies, if you don't do your job - which in Chuene's case was to promote Semenya's and other ath;ete's interests,not his own - then you lose your job. South African sports administrators are in it for themselves, with their interests, most of the time, contrary and in opposition to the athletes they purport to represent. In short, they don't.

"...Instead have dragged the name of ASA and the South Africa sporting fraternity into further disrepute. We are now left with no alternative but to ask the South African government and the South Africa sporting fraternity to redeem the integrity of our country in the eyes of both the South African public and the international community on this matter," Mthembu said.
