SINGAPORE - Sport Singapore's decision to suspend support to swimmers Joseph Schooling, Amanda Lim and Teong Tzen Wei for a month after they admitted consuming illicit drugs has drawn mixed reactions from within and outside the sports fraternity.
Some have applauded Sport Singapore for giving the contrite athletes a second chance, but others felt it was a mere slap on the wrist for an offence that not only broke sporting regulations but also the law.
