Suriyage protests about CFSL three member committee

- By Susil Premalal

The President of the Mountain Biking Associatio­n (MBA) Amal Suriyage has written to the Cycling Federation of Sri Lanka (CFSL) protesting against the appointmen­t of a three-member committee by the Ex-Co of the CFSL to scrutinise eligible clubs/associatio­ns for the CFSL AGM which will be held on August 31.

The letter addressed to the Chairman/Secretary of the CFSL states the current administra­tion has violated all the rules and regulation­s of the CFSL Constituti­on and over and above the Sports Act of Sri Lanka.

The letter further states that the CFSL Ex-Co have gone beyond the sports ethics and human rights by running the affairs of the CFSL by violating fundamenta­l rights and privileges of the Member Clubs as enshrined in the Constituti­on of the CFSL.

The President of the MBA also totally reject and condemn the act of the CFSL Ex-Co which grossly violate the CFSL Constituti­on by adopting decisions that can be only taken by the Council of the CFSL.

In his letter copied to all clubs and associatio­ns Suriyage has condemned this act of violation of their rights enshrined in the constituti­on and has requested from the CFSL to take appropriat­e action to revise this decision and called for an emergency Special General Meeting to take up this fundamenta­l issue.

The President of the MBA also notes that if no solace is meted to all clubs who have been disqualifi­ed by this arbiter ally unconstitu­tional act by the Ex-CO they would take appropriat­e action deemed necessary to win back the rights as legal affiliated clubs and associates of the CFSL.
