The 31-year-old was not included in the Singapore National Olympic Council's list of successful appeals on Thursday , which comes a month after he returned to the national fold at the Cambodia SEA Games.
In response to CNA's queries on Thursday, SNOC said its appeals committee for the Asian Games considered Singapore Athletics’ nomination for Soh’s participation and decided not to select him. “It is unfortunate that notwithstanding efforts made to support and rehabilitate him, the committee is not satisfied that he has changed for the better to earn selection for the Asian Games."When contacted by CNA, Soh said he was keeping a positive attitude despite being snubbed.
Soh had also been left out of the initial Asian Games line-up last year, despite his nomination by Singapore Athletics for the men's 10,000m event. The appeals committee for SEA Games 2023 also considered"various undertakings and commitments given by Mr Soh and Singapore Athletics to, amongst others, develop a positive and respectable profile off the track", said SNOC.
