MANILA, Philippines -- (UPDATED) Olympic pole vaulter EJ Obiena is set to be dropped from the national training pool of the Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association (PATAFA) after the conclusion of its investigation into the athlete.
The PATAFA on Tuesday unveiled the results of its investigation into Obiena's alleged non-payment of coaching fees to his coach, Ukrainian Vitaly Petrov, as well as his falsification of liquidation documents.
The allegations first came to light in November, with Obiena flatly denying the accusations against him and calling the PATAFA's actions a "textbook example of how to destroy an athlete."
