Arshad Nadeem’s coach banned for life over unauthorised elections by the Pakistan Athletics Federation (PAF). The decision came after allegations that the coach was involved in conducting unauthorized elections within the athletics body, violating organizational rules and procedures.
According to PAF officials, the elections were held without formal approval from the federation’s governing council. The act was deemed an attempt to disrupt the administrative structure and undermine the federation’s authority. As a result, the disciplinary committee decided that Arshad Nadeem’s coach banned for life over unauthorised elections was an appropriate action to preserve transparency and discipline in the sport.
The committee further stated that no individual, regardless of position or influence, can operate outside the federation’s established framework. The ruling also serves as a warning to other officials to adhere strictly to federation protocols.
Sources close to the matter revealed that the coach in question had previously faced scrutiny over management issues but was retained due to his contributions to Pakistan’s athletics program, particularly in the training of Olympian Arshad Nadeem. However, this latest controversy forced the federation to take decisive action.
With Arshad Nadeem’s coach banned for life over unauthorised elections, concerns have been raised about the possible impact on the athlete’s upcoming international training and competitions. Officials from the Pakistan Sports Board assured that arrangements will be made to ensure Nadeem’s training continues uninterrupted.
The ban highlights the growing administrative tension within Pakistan’s athletics community, as calls for reform and accountability grow louder. The federation reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining integrity in sports governance and ensuring that all officials operate within the legal and ethical framework of the sport.
This decision marks a turning point for athletics management in Pakistan, emphasizing that no one is above the rules.
