SINGAPORE - Veteran running coach Steven Quek told the court on Thursday that he did not see Ashley Liew slow down during the 2015 SEA Games marathon.

The dispute between the two athletes began in October 2018, when Soh, in a Facebook post, disputed Liew's account of an incident that occurred during the 2015 SEA Games marathon, where Liew said he had slowed down to allow other runners to catch up after they missed a U-turn and took the wrong path. Liew's lawyer, Mark Teng of That.Legal LLC, put it to Quek during cross examination that he would not have seen Liew slow down had he only done so after passing Quek, to which the coach replied:"Yes. Right where I was, it did not happen."

In response, Soh said he did not know of any sportsmanship awards before Liew was awarded his. Liew was presented the Pierre de Coubertin World Fair Play Trophy by the International Fair Play Committee in September 2016 and it was one of the two he received for his act of sportsmanship.
