01/11/2023ASA DR98/2023the Disciplinary Commissioner concluded that Ella Fenech Attard has been living and training abroad for at least 8 weeks and, therefore, for the scope of the ASA Swimming Competition Rules, she is to be considered as a "Swimmer Residing and Training Overseas" and so her behaviour falls under SCR-41 and not SCR-42.
Whereas SCR-41 deals specifically with swimmers' relationships with the National Coach, Ella Fenech Attard is not a National Team Swimmer and does not train with the National Coach. Therefore, the Disciplinary Commissioner decides that Ella Fenech Attard has not breached the provisions of SCR-42.
The Disciplinary Commissioner also decides that Ella Fenech Attard is guilty of unethical behaviour because she participated in an international event as an athlete of "Malta" without authorisation or permission. Since this offence is not contemplated in the ASA Disciplinary Code, and since the swimmer cannot be fined because of her age, the Disciplinary Commissioner suspends Ella Fenech Attard from the next Age-Group Swimming meeting and severely reprimands her in terms of DC-A4 (vi).

7/18/2023ASA DR68/2023Decision 1:
Just prior to the commencement of the appeals hearing,it was brought to our attention that a member of the ASA Executive Committee made contact with one of the named witnesses listed by San Giljan ASC. In view of this allegation, the Board heard the versions of both parties. The Board of Appeal established that the duration of the telephone call lasted 27 seconds and the sole subject of the conversation was the eventual testimony in the abovementioned case under appeal. Hence the Board of Appeal decided that, irrelevant to the intention for mentioning the case, such mention was inappropriate and uncalled for, thus it jeopardised the appeals hearing. In view of the above, the Board of Appeal decided that the case against Matthew Zammit (the player) is dismissed and all sanctions in ASA DR68ii/2023 are dropped

8/31/2021ASA DR31/2021After hearing the submissions of both parties and all the witnesses, Mr Sandro Pecorella, the Disciplinary Commissioner concludes as follows:-
Mr Rainer Scerri, after having been escorted from the pool deck by two ASA Officials (Carlo Mifsud and Karl Galea) did not leave the precincts of the pool as he was obliged to do. The fact that Mr Matthew Bonello exited from the stands and walked towards the Reception Area without feeling threatened in any way by the opposing club’s committee members, proves that at no point in time was Mr Rainer Scerri in any personal danger.
From the video evidence produced Mr Rainer Scerri’s unacceptable actions and verbal threats towards Mr Carlo Mifsud outside the Reception/Entrance Door were very clear, so much so that even his Club President, Mr Matthew Bonello, had to restrain him from aggravating his own and his club’s position.
In view of the above, Mr Rainer Scerri is found guilty in terms of DC-B1-13 (O) and fined €240 and suspended for 3 Senior matches. Mr Scerri is also found guilty in terms of DC-B1-18-A (R) and fined a further €190 and suspended for an additional 2 Senior matches.
Since Mr Scerri did not leave the precincts of the pool, these sanctions are doubled in terms of DC-A4.xi. Mr Scerri is therefore fined a total of €860 and suspended for 10 Senior matches.
The Disciplinary Commissioner also finds Rainer Scerri to be a repeat offender in terms of DC-A5 and fines him an additional €100.
The contestation deposit shall be forfeited in favour of the ASA.

The Disciplinary Commissioner also finds Rainer Scerri to be a repeat offender in terms of DCA5 and fines him an additional €100.
