The Department of Sport and Recreation has applauded the South African Olympic governing body Sascoc for its action against Athletics South Africa.

This happened after Sascoc suspended the national athletics federation yesterday afternoon.

The Sport Ministry’s statement adds that ASA has to allow the process of the law to be completed.

ASA’s president Leonard Chuene and all the board members have been suspended over the handling of the Caster Semenya gender testing debacle.
