Peshawar : The services of Pakistan Cycling Federation for the development and promotion of cycling are not hidden from anyone and the efforts of Pakistan Cycling Federation for the sports and athletes are seen with value and dignity all over the world. Today, by the grace of Allah, our boys and girls have not only participated in national and international competitions despite adverse conditions and financial difficulties, but also the National Cycling Federation is active in providing the best coaching to the athletes. And under an agreement, Pakistani male and female cyclists are being sent to South Korea, which costs millions of rupees to the Cycling Federation, and they are expressing their love and sincerity to Pakistan and Pakistani cyclists.
Azhar Ali Shah while talking to journalists in Media Center Peshawar, Sarhad Cycling Association President Nisar Ahmed was also present on this occasion. Syed Azhar Ali Shah said that Pakistan Cycling Federation has the full support and support of World Cycling Union (UCI) Asian Cycling Federation Pakistan Sports Board, but unfortunately. Despite knowing everything, the Pakistan Olympic Association has closed its eyes and due to their cruelty and excesses, our athletes are only losing. These people have been clinging to their positions for 35 years and their politics have ruined sports in our province.
There are two associations, which is regrettable, now it is time to change the association and KP Olympic to get rid of the officials who have been in charge for years. It is due to the ego and stubbornness of people clinging to it. Neither the coaches are aware of the rules and regulations nor are the competitions taking place under the laws and regulations of cycling. Therefore, we asked them to give qualified coaches, but because of their stubbornness, the National Games cycling competition is nothing more than a waste of time and money. In the National Games Quetta, many athletes have been sent. Out of the six results, KP was ranked fifth in cycling. Just to make money and to please their colleagues, the national treasury is being looted, no sports camp has been set up from above, but record money has been embezzled in the name of competition.
All these things should be denied. He said that Pakistan and the World Cycling Federation, any such athlete The World does not allow the representation of countries at the Asian level that do not have lines issued by the Pakistan Cycling Federation and the formation of these parallel associations only harms the cyclists. Therefore, the Pakistan Olympic Association should take care of the country and the nation by putting aside its stubbornness.
Syed Azhar Shah said that Pakistan’s ten-member national cycling team will participate in the Asian Cycling Championship to be played in Bangkok (Thailand) from June 7 to 13, and we hope that our boys and girls will do well. By showing performance, they will later strengthen their position for the World Cycling Championships in Glasgow, which will be held in August 2023. Our boys and girls will represent the country in the World Cycling Championships.
