Chief of Staff Major General Intharat Yudpangtoi, Honorary President of the Amateur Weightlifting Federation of Thailand, revealed that the National Sports Development Fund has also affected the delayed funds for injecting athletes since the end of 2022, as many as 26 sports federations, taekwondo and boxing.
– The Thai sports saga begins again.
– After Thai national weightlifter Siriwimun Prakhamkoon asked for help from the media. To help pump in money owed to the fund since 2022, the total amount owed to each person is about 10 million baht because the athletes competed for gold and silver medals from the World Championships and Asian Championships.
– This is not the first time there has been a request for an injection of money from the fund.
Over the past year, Sage Yod, leader of the Powerlifting Association, has submitted a letter of application to the fund. With Dr. Subrani Guptasa as Director of the Fund I have been here several times
– He received the answer that the issue of withdrawing the money injection is about to be presented to the meeting.
-But from 2022 until now 2024, there has been no progress. And I got the answer: “We are still waiting for the matter to be presented to the meeting.” Along
– Main Stand asked the Foreign Minister, and he would like to confirm this again. What is the reason given by the Fund for the delay?
-The answer is 'It doesn't make sense'
– When he was asked what to do next?
-Sergeant Yud said and now, Mr. Banpri Vitanukorn, Deputy Prime Minister who is the current Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Fund (the old one is Dr. Prawit Wongsuwan) received the order. The matter will be presented to the meeting on March 11.
-If there is no progress, the secretary said, “someone would like it,” which means that the athletes who have quotas for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France, will retire from playing for the national team and there will certainly be no medals at the Olympic Games. If the matter does not progress
-Sergeant Yod said “Pray for the adults involved. Please help me with this matter. However, if you have any questions please contact me for a meeting to explain.
– After completing the interview, Minister Yod turned around and told the media about this “Talk until your mouth is wet. You'd better go to the temple this way.”
-Meanwhile, Main Stand has contacted Dr. Sobrani to seek clarification on this matter.
-Which Dr. Sobrani has explained as follows:
“I will put the matter up for approval on the 11th of next month. When the information is provided, I would like journalists to make appointments to come and discuss the details. I will make a presentation to interested journalists to learn the rules and think together to create a Thai sport. By signing up after you attend the meeting on the 11th, I will: 1) I will inform you of the results. 2) I will inform you of the criteria for consideration
-Athletes wait to follow news from the media closely. Because everyone needs money to pay off debts. Come take care of the family. It becomes a source of nourishment for physical and mental strength in the search for tickets to the Olympic Games.
-For the weightlifters, they will come to train at the Sports Authority of Thailand on March 10, and then there will be a big event like the World Cup in Phuket between the end of March and mid-April. This is the program that will select athletes to go to the 2024 Olympic Games.
