Filipino pole vaulter EJ Obiena announced on Wednesday that he has withdrawn from the Asian Indoor Athletics Championships in Kazakhstan.One of the reasons he cited for pulling out was that his team has not been paid for over a year aside from having difficulty in bringing his poles to Kazakhstan.Naturally, his supporters got worried and wanted to help the 27-year-old Filipino Olympian.
This is 'double dipping' and it's not ethical,' wrote Obiena on social media.Obiena said that sports officials are now working to resolve his financial problem.'A team of people is working on the matter now and I must have faith they will resolve it soon. It hence would be questionable for me to accept donations and then having this resolve in the near future and 'double dipping'. I should allow some time for this to resolve,' said Obiena.
