Yes Mr Fernando should be commended to have the guts to question the Minister out of concen for the future.
Do other sports bodies which are riddled with aparent corruption - SLC for example, have a commited 'Fernando' amongst them to do likewise and sanitise the sport for true enjoyment by the SLn public?

Now why are you going out of the country to solve your issues why cant you try to solve your problems within the country.
If a small sports body cant solve its issues within the country how do you expect the minority to solve their problem within the country ?
So don't run to the IOC 1st visit the OIC.

ah.. so the little big man of NOC has turned 360 degrees to play 'god'. we clearly remember how he manipulated the sports law and got his infamous son (a)pavithra to captain the SL rugby team and created a catastrophic effect. the minister 'big-house' was his best friend. not only that, when HF was the chief of Airport & Aviation, he created a safe passage for a foreign rugby player to scoot out of the island. this was after the said player pounced on a local referee and landed a knockout punch on his face. the ref lodged a complaint at cinnamon garden police. but the offender got away, thanks to (a)pavithra who was playing for the same club and his father was the head of A&A.

After SLC, Monkey Face has started to eat the NOC banana.
G.M. Jayawardena Wednesday, 27 November 2013 07:16 AM
Thanks to Sirasa TV for discussing this rip of the NOC and what Arjuna Ranathuinga and other officials said about the NOC seems correct. As they said may be the minister himself is helpless for some reason.

HF.. seems to be a man with a spine, knowing these real facts may be taken against him as I many other cases.. Hats off to you SIR

Hemasiri put his son to captain SL rugby team after getting help from the MR. We all know what HF record ..Funny lanka

These politicians not service the people .... they are only finding ways to creep into high ranking positions and robbing money
Labby Wednesday, 27 November 2013 05:22 AM
If someone at SLC had a similar backbone as Mr Hemasiri Fernando then we would not have 'lost' the WC final to India.

Your courage to expose these matters will safe guard the future of other sports too. The currant Sports minister has ruined all Sports bodies, through politics.

TRUTH HURTS. National interest must be the only priority. Hope others will follow.
tony Wednesday, 27 November 2013 04:43 AM
YOU ARE PERFECTLY RIGHT. THERE IS MIGHTY POWER BEHIND THE MINISTER. THAT IS WHY HE IS BULLDOZING HIS WAY THROUGH
Ratavasiya Tuesday, 26 November 2013 08:08 PM
Hats off to Hemasiri, get these politicians out of sports bodies.
surasena Wednesday, 27 November 2013 04:03 AM
Yes, the Minster must win, as we the "Intelligent Voters", as they say, selected these politicos to the office. If he loses, our intelligence is at stake.
Haka Haka Wednesday, 27 November 2013 03:34 AM
They must call for an international investigation into this matter by an indeoendent panel of international experts.
Independent Wednesday, 27 November 2013 02:37 AM
Sports Minister will win in the end. When have we heard of Politicians/Ministers giving in whether right or wrong in Sri Lanka ?
Perumal Wednesday, 27 November 2013 02:31 AM
Why, Minister? Can't you label Hemasiri a "Desha Drohi", "Jathi Drohi" according to "Chinthanaya" and chase him away? You can get a "Virodhathawa" (demonstration) held in front of NOC, if necessary.
Sadal Wednesday, 27 November 2013 01:41 AM
How far you will stand by this
sinha Wednesday, 27 November 2013 01:32 AM
Looks like you have some guts. Hope you won't change ur mind so quickly.
Suny J Wednesday, 27 November 2013 01:09 AM
at least a sports official found the back bone stand up..!!!
durang Wednesday, 27 November 2013 12:52 AM
Ah! thunder storms at sweet jack tree.
Janaki Kalansuriya Wednesday, 27 November 2013 12:41 AM
and this will pave the way for a powerful Minister's son-in-law, who is a deputy already, to the the next Chairman. But at least we can applaud Hemasiri for saying a mouthful. Well Doe, HF.

In Sri Lanka SPORTS = POLITICS - POLITICS = SPORTS (this new rule added to the books since lucrative money involved in it). Come on Lankans , Grow up...
