JOHANNESBURG (RSA): Leonard Chuene, former president of Athletics South Africa (ASA) and former IAAF council member, has been found guilty on charges of poor corporate governance, misappropriation of funds and tax evasion. The disciplinary inquiry was instituted by the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) after Chuene, his entire executive and three employees were suspended in late 2009. Two other former members of the ASA Board, vice-president Kakata Maponyane and director Simon Dlamini, have also been found guilty on the same charges. SASCOC elected to hand the matter back to the inquiry and the resulting outcome is that Chuene, Dlamini and Maponyane all have until Thursday, 17 February, to appeal the findings. Thereafter the disciplinary inquiry will announce their sanctions. Informs Race Results Weekly.
