Teong issued an apology on Wednesday, saying “This is something I deeply regret doing and as an elite athlete, I should have known better.
I accept the sanctions given to me and I understand that as a national athlete, I have to adhere to a code of conduct that governs all athletes who wear the Singapore flag. I will strive to be a better version of myself and come back from this stronger.” Sport SG noted that the three athletes “had expressed remorse for their lapses in judgment, and have appealed to be given a second chance to prove themselves and fulfil their roles and responsibilities as national athletes.”
Many netizens, however, seemed unhappy with SportSG’s response, even if the suspension meted out is only for one month.
