Syed Saddiq says dubious third place in triathlon was ‘honest mistake’

Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman today took responsibility for an “honest” mistake that saw him being awarded third place in a recent triathlon, which was deleted after allegations of irregularity.
In an Instagram post hours after he sought to address the allegations of cheating, Syed Saddiq said he spoke to the organisers and technical representatives to have his race result listed as “DNF” or Did Not Finish.
“After cross referencing this with my I watch data, there clearly was a mistake.
“And I take full responsibility for it. This was an honest mistake on my part,” he said.
