Malaysian Continental team faces deregistration

Malaysia's New Sunday Times reports the Proton T-Bikes Cycling Team is facing the prospect of deregistration as a UCI Continental Team, in part due to squabbles between the team's management and Malaysian National Cycling Federation (MNCF) deputy president Datuk Naim Mohamad.

Although registered by the UCI as a Continental Team on December 12 last year, the MNCF was asked to clarify several matters, including the minimum one-year contractual agreements with the nine riders on team. The federation in turn asked for this information from the Proton T-Bikes Cycling Team, but according to Naim, he has received no communication from the team to date. "Thus far, I have not been informed by the president of any letters," he said.
