SEA Games Federation recent meeting in Laos announced that five athletes will be stripped of their SEA Games medal
They were from boxing, volleyball, polo and athletics
The athlete in question for athletics is Narcisa Atienza, the SEA Games 2007 bronze medalist in the heptathlon, caught after her sample contain banned substance
It is unknown how long the ban will last as it depends on the athlete individual nation sports federations
But her coach, defended her, saying it was “just painkiller and not a performance-enhancing drug”
He claims that before she flew to Thailand, the doctor administered the painkiller to Atienza
The same painkiller he said was given to all their athletes but only Atienza test came out positive
They are planning to dispute the result of the drug test
