Former teammate Soh Rui Yong's allegations on social media about his act of sportsmanship came 'out of the blue' and were 'unprovoked', said marathoner Ashley Liew in the State Court yesterday. Liew, 33, took to the stand for 21/2 hours on the first day of his defamation...

Liew, a doctor of chiropractic, received a special award for sportsmanship at the Singapore Sports Awards in June 2016, and was subsequently nominated for and won the Pierre de Coubertin World Fair Play Trophy in September that year.

There were 10 other runners that were"gradually catching up and I was trying to match the rhythm so we could gradually catch up", he said. But Lun retorted:"I put it to you that you're lying when you said that you were in the middle of the pack."Lun also referred to a June 12, 2015 episode of Mediacorp's The 5 Show where Liew was interviewed, and the programme's host had said Liew"slowed down to a crawl" and this"cost him the gold medal".

Liew replied:"I didn't feel what was said was untrue, so I did not feel the need or responsibility to call it out on live TV."
