Former national judo captain Gary Chow has been barred for 24 months from all competitions, events and programmes organised or sponsored by the Singapore Judo Federation (SJF), potentially ruling the three-time SEA Games medallist out of Hanoi 2021.
This was announced by judo's national sports association (NSA) in a Facebook post yesterday morning, following a Feb 21 report by an SJF ad hoc disciplinary committee (DC). The independent three-member DC comprised Chia Min Chong, Chris Holland and Ho Han Ming.
