KUALA LUMPUR: Kedah Sports School coach Mohd Poad Md Kassim will return to running the national sprint camp in the near future, according to Malaysia Athletics (MA) president Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim. 

He said the matter had already been agreed by the MA committee members to bring in Poad to train eight national sprinters in Bukit Jalil in preparation for the Thailand SEA Games this December. 

Shahidan said the governing body did not want the issue involving several national sprinters and technical director Robert Ballard to be prolonged and wanted all athletes to be able to train as usual as soon as possible.
