Three former coaches to be charged over falsified finswimming results for 2023 SEA Games selection process

Six athletes were selected for the 2023 SEA Games finswimming events based on the falsified results.
SINGAPORE: Three men will be charged in court on Thursday (Mar 12) over falsified finswimming race timings that were submitted for the 2023 Southeast Asian Games selection process.
The police said they were alerted to the case by the Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC), which lodged a report about the suspected falsified race timing results by the Singapore Underwater Federation (SUF).
This resulted in six SUF athletes being selected by the SNOC for the 2023 SEA Games finswimming events held in Cambodia.
“Investigations revealed that in January 2023, the three men, who were SUF coaches, had allegedly falsified the race results of SUF athletes from an overseas finswimming event,” the police said in a media release.
“The three men had conspired to submit a document containing these falsified results to the SNOC as an appeal submission, resulting in six SUF athletes being selected to participate in the Games. These six athletes would not have been selected had it not been for the falsified results.”
