Malaysia To Implement World Anti-Doping Code At The 2027 SEA Games

In an effort to ensure that the 2027 edition of the Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) will fully comply with the standards of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), host nation Malaysia will implement the World Anti-Doping Code in the regional games, according to a news report by VnExpress.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of VnExpress. Some parts in boldface…

Malaysia is set to become the first Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) host to implement the World Anti-Doping Code at the 34th edition next year.

President of the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) Mohamad Norza Zakaria stated at a press conference on April 8 that the adoption of the code aims to ensure that the 2027 SEA Games fully comply with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) standards, thereby enhancing the transparency and international standing of the Games.

Malaysia’s proposal was approved at the first meeting of the Southeast Asian Games Federation (SEAGF) for the 2025-2027 period, held on the same day.

The World Anti-Doping Code, first adopted in 2004, serves as the foundation for harmonizing policies, regulations, and activities to combat doping among sports organizations and authorities worldwide.

Mohamad Norza also said that the SEAGF had agreed to set May 8 as the deadline for national Olympic committees to propose additional sports for the 2027 SEA Games. After this date, proposals will be submitted to the Malaysian SEA Games Organizing Committee (MASOC) and the National Sports Council for consideration before being discussed at the next council meeting, expected in the coming months.

The 2027 SEA Games, featuring 38 sports, will be hosted across Sarawak, Penang, Johor, and Kuala Lumpur.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code will make Malaysia’s hosting of the 2027 SEA Games more credible and more transparent? What breakthroughs do you think will happen in the next SEA Games in relation to the anti-doping measures?

Swansea Bay doctors pioneer cancer drug breakthrough that could extend lives across Wales

Medics at Swansea Bay University Health Board have discovered that by using genetic testing to identify a specific protein in patients’ blood, they can determine when to reintroduce the drug Panitumumab at a different stage in treatment, significantly extending life expectancy.

The breakthrough involves using a medical testing protocol called “re-challenge”, where the medication is administered, withdrawn and then given again at a different point in the patient’s care pathway.

Consultant oncologist Dr Craig Barrington said the approach is believed to be unique globally.

“We are not aware of any other country having this option for re-challenge, guided by genetic testing,” Dr Barrington said. “It is another exciting option for Welsh patients.

“We predict there’s going to be about 30 to 50 patients in Wales a year that may well get additional benefit from the use of this drug.”

Panitumumab is used to treat patients with metastatic and incurable left-sided colon cancer. The drug is not suitable for all patients, working only on those who have intact proteins rather than mutated ones.

Swansea Bay has been offering the drug for the past couple of years through the One Wales Medicines process, which provides access to treatments outside current marketing authorisation or licensing and prior to approval by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Panitumumab received One Wales approval last June.

The consultants reassessed the drug’s use following a trial involving a test that looks for a specific DNA tumour protein in the blood. This test identified patients who could potentially benefit from re-challenge with Panitumumab, with a subsequent study confirming the effectiveness of the approach.

Dr Barrington explained that the drug works on approximately 50 per cent of patients from the beginning of cancer treatment. However, about 30 per cent of those exposed to it develop mutations, meaning reintroducing the drug would not provide any benefit for them.

“This drug works on patients if they have intact proteins. If proteins are mutated it won’t work,” he said.

One patient who benefited from the pioneering approach was Wyn Thomas from Gower, a former medical physicist who was 74 when he was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer in September 2021.

Although Mr Thomas has since died, the drug gave him months of precious extra time with his family before he passed away in March 2025 at the age of 76.

His wife Liz said the family had not expected him to have much time when he received his diagnosis.

“He was asked if he wanted to consider whether he wanted quality or longevity of life left, he said he wanted to live as long as he could,” Mrs Thomas said. “But he ended up with a good quality of life. He never gave up and was very determined.”

She described how her husband maintained an active life throughout much of his treatment.

“Throughout the summer of 2024 he was really good; he was out and about, cutting the grass, and at Christmas he was stuffing the turkey and carrying logs,” she said.

“We knew it would not last forever, and last January he complained of a pain in the knee, and he died in March. He only had about four or six weeks when he was desperately ill.”

Dr Barrington said he was convinced Panitumumab had extended Mr Thomas’s life significantly.

“When he first started cancer treatment, with what was available we think he would have had about two to two-and-a-half years, but he survived for three-and-a-half, so he outlived our prediction,” he said.

“There is no doubt in my mind that is because of the medication. Without it, it would have been half the time.

“Not only did we see that in the length of time since he commenced taking Panitumumab, but we also saw it on scans and the blood tests and how well he was responding to it.”

Mr Thomas was the brother of Bafta-winning Twin Town composer Mark Thomas, who also created music for Wallace and Gromit animations. Mark died following his own cancer battle in 2023.

Even during his treatment, Wyn continued to run his brother’s record label, collecting royalties and distributing them to musicians.

Mrs Thomas praised the care her husband received at Singleton Hospital.

“We tried everything for him, and he was alright for three-and-a-half years,” she said. “Everyone who supported him at Singleton was absolutely brilliant.”

As with other drugs accessed through the One Wales Medicines process, patients are given full explanations about how Panitumumab has been accessed and are talked through current data and evidence before beginning treatment.

here's something that I think a lot of proponents of rescheduling marijuana probably haven't thought about very much:

impact on the commercial transportation industry, including airplane pilots, train crews, and #TruckDriver #Trucking (where my own knowledge comes in; for anyone new around here I was a commercial driver from 2015 through 2022, and almost the entirety of my career).

I cannot stress enough how important the current regulations giving the authority for carriers and the DOT—specifically the FMCSA, the related agency that regulates commercial trucking—to test for marijuana are. for anyone who forgets or supports deregulation let me remind you that regulations are written in BLOOD; no matter how much people can argue for it (which this is not an invitation to come into my mentions and tell me how great it is; in fact this post is going to get caught by my filters and after it's posted I'll have to go out of my way to see it) it is not safe for commercial transportation operators. that's been proven multiple times, and DOT testing keeps operators who have tested positive off the road where they cannot do any damage (until they've completed a substance abuse return-to-work program, which then ultimately results in frequent testing by either the DOT or the employer in order to ensure compliance).

I may not be on the road anymore, but I still ride in cars, and cars share the road with trucks. everyone SHOULD care about this. if you disagree with me about this you can kindly show yourself off and not let the door hit you on your way out. and I may be an addict who was still using drugs occasionally during my commercial career, but the testing requirements kept me mostly on the straight and narrow—things didn't speak beyond the occasional light to moderate drinking, poppers, or whippets on my 34 hour break (k when I had a decent amount of time on the second day to dry out before driving until after I was off the truck and home 24/7 not knowing what to do with myself and feeling like a fish out of water (but instead of drowning myself in water I drowned myself in beer, sake, soju, and whiskey).

if the #DrugTesting #Marijuana carve-out this article is talking about doesn't happen, people are going to DIE. simple as that. #SafetyFirst #DOT #FMCSA #Sober #SoberAsFuck #SoberLife

I may not be on the road anymore, but I still ride in cars, and cars share the road with trucks. everyone SHOULD care about this. if you disagree with me about this you can kindly show yourself off and not let the door hit you on your way out. and I may be an addict who was still using drugs occasionally during my commercial career, but the testing requirements kept me mostly on the straight and narrow—things didn't speak beyond the occasional light to moderate drinking, poppers, or whippets on my 34 hour break (k when I had a decent amount of time on the second day to dry out before driving until after I was off the truck and home 24/7 not knowing what to do with myself and feeling like a fish out of water (but instead of drowning myself in water I drowned myself in beer, sake, soju, and whiskey).

if the #DrugTesting #Marijuana carve-out this article is talking about doesn't happen, people are going to DIE. simple as that. #SafetyFirst #DOT #FMCSA #Sober #SoberAsFuck #SoberLife

Drug tests for most jobs are unnecessary and there's no scientific consensus saying drug testing affects the company's bottom-line.

Drug tests are a means of social control and of marginalizing classes of people.

Drug tests are corporate power exercises. One ape controls the toilet function of another ape; an invasive dominance ritual at a deeply primal level.

Eliminate drug tests for most jobs.
