‘8 x 10’ multiplies “We first found the longkong-drug concoction in Songkhla, but soon discovered it in Ranong, Chumphon and Surat Thani,” says Thanu. Yupin Ong-art, director of Ranong Youth Observation and Protection Centre, says that all the young delinquents sent to her facility this year have been involved in drugs. She adds that family problems were the main reason why youths turned to drugs. “Youths from families that are warm and caring tend to have immunity against drugs and other social ills.” The ISOC plans to train youths in Ranong and Chumphon on how to avoid getting involved in anti-social behaviour.

eenagers in the South have been using the leaves of the longkong tree to concoct a new illicit drug, a security taskforce member has revealed. Dubbed “8 x 10”, the new substance also contains methamphetamine. “We found this concoction during a recent crackdown on Kratom leaves, which are used as a stimulant,” says Lieutenant Thanu Nuang-utai, a member of the taskforce under the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC). Longkong is indigenous to the South.
STORM DANCE A little girl’s pole dance raises eyebrows and brings warnings By Pakamas Jaichalard, Wannapa Phetdee D A I LY X P R E S S

provocative dance can attract huge crowds almost anywhere, but a little local pole dancer has caused public outrage. In video clips posted on many websites, a prepubescent girl waves her hips and moves sexually around a pole. The background suggests she is at a big event, perhaps the motor show. “Several viewers have complained that the use of a young girl for such a dance is totally inappropriate,” Culture Watch Centre director Ladda Tangsupachai said yesterday. “The girl seems to only be about 10 years old.”
“Our officials will check whether the video clips were filmed at Bitec,” Ladda said. Open to the public since March 26, the 30th Bangkok International Motor Show is on at Bitec till Monday.
Motor show denial The committee organising the motor show has firmly rejected any suggestion that the child pole dancer was at the event. “We have a strict rule that all dancers on stage must be over 18,” committee spokesman Jaturont Komolmis said. He added that rule breakers faced a six-figure fine and a ban from the motor show. “The motor show is big business. We are not going to do anything that will ruin our im-

age,” Jaturont said. A dozen or more security staff patrol the motor show each day, he added. Last Sunday, police arrested a group of scantily clad girls for dancing and posing for video cameras. “They were not part of our motor show. Their clothes were much more revealing than those who really work here,” said Jaturont. Ladda said her centre would also be dispatching its officials to other big events including the annual Thai Red Cross fair and OTOP fairs. “If we find anything inappropriate, we will issue warnings,” Ladda said. She plans to ask the police’s Children, Juveniles and Women Division and the Human Security and Social Development Ministry to take action.
Wanted posters featuring 42 pickpockets went up at main entrances to the Red Cross Society Fair to warn the public yesterday. City police spokesman Pol Maj-General Suporn Phansuea said eight women fell victim to the light-fingered thieves on the fair’s first day. As well as the posters, security has been beefed up with 100 undercover policemen and more cameras.
Caught on camera? Metropolitan Police yesterday urged any Bangkok motorists caught on camera running red lights to pay the Bt500 fine soon at one of the 10 designated locations. Police Maj-General Panu Kerdlarbpol, responsible for traffic, said that more than 100,000 tickets had been issued to red-light-runners since January. Motorists can pay the fine at the police office in Land Transport Department’s second building – (02) 278 1579; the Land Transportation Offices at Bang Khunthien, Taling Chan and Phra Khanong; the Expressway 2 Police Station in Bang Kapi – (02) 248 6891; the Kukanan Loifa Police Station in Thavee Wattana – (02) 888 3249; the Metropolitan Police Area 6 Command – (02) 2228113; the Kamphaengpetch Road police booth opposite the Mor Chit Bus Station – (02) 537 9028; the Fine-Paying Centre under the Rama 4 Expressway in Pathumwan – (02) 252 1321; and the Traffic Police Command in Chatuchak – (02) 515 3013.

Students find Buri Ram’s famous temple is no longer aligned with the sun – but they know how old it is By Anan Paengnoy D A I LY X P R E S S
hirty-six Thai and 12 Cambodian children teamed up last month to determine the age of Buri Ram’s Panom Rung Temple using astronomical knowledge. The project, part of a scheme called the “2nd Science and Cultural Activities for Next Generation KhmerThai”, had the youths measure the temple’s alignment.
T
15 doorways to the sun Originally, the ancient temple was designed with 15 doorways aligned to frame the sunrise and sunset on the twiceyearly equinox day. But over the centuries, the sun and
Earth have shifted under the forces of gravity and the sunshine no longer pierces all 15 doorways. Measuring just how far the temple had shifted from its alignment with the North pole would help identify the temple’s age, explains Mathayom 5 student Narin Asirapornpong, 17, from Bangkok’s Suksanari School.
Shifted over the years The team used compasses placed at 10 different spots, and discovered that the passage made by the doorways was now six degrees out of alignment. With the help of an astronomical model, those six degrees showed that the temple was built about 1,000 years ago – which tallies with the date given by archaeological evidence.
Thai-Cambodian friendship
Narin said that the students came from schools across the country and had to undergo basic training at Kerd Kaew Observatory in Kanchanaburi. The activity at the Panom Rung Temple helped her exchange ideas with fellow students despite the language barrier with the Cambodians, she said. Another Mathayom 5 student, Worawuth Judtho of Buri Ram’s Ban Kruad Wittaya School, said: “The measuring of a temple’s alignment to identify its age is something that I’ve never seen in school textbooks.” A Mathayom 6 student named Suwon from a school in Cambodia’s Udonmeechai province said that he was happy to be chosen for the scheme. He remarked that Thailand was much more developed than Cambodia and that he would pass on the ideas he had learned to students back home.

‘Cosying up to the Queen’ “Protocol is abandoned as Michelle Obama cosies up to queen”, The Times screamed in its headline, while The Sun said in a caption under the photo of Michelle and the Queen with their arms around each other: “Arm in ma’am … Queen and first lady forget protocol at 7.37pm.” In Australia, a head-
line in The Herald Sun read: “Prince puts foot in it, Michelle O puts arm around Queen.” New York’s The Daily News also reported that Michelle skipped the optional curtsy and conveniently reached out to shake hands with the Queen and Prince Philip, “while her husband’s head bobbed awkwardly during the introductions”.
‘Not the Queen’s subject’ Obama said he spent several wonderful hours at the palace, and added: “Her Majesty is delightful.” Nevertheless, the media couldn’t help but take a dig at Michelle Obama, who they said ditched royal protocol by

putting her arm around the queen. Michelle put her hand around the Queen only after the monarch placed her hand around the first lady’s waist during a conversation. Time.Com reported that in defence of the first lady, she is not a subject of the Queen and that Australians still recognise the queen as their head of state. Thailand’s news stations also
picked up the criticism. TV channels also showed Premier Abishit Vejjajiva’s wife Pimpen touching the UK Queen gently with a curtsy. British etiquette dictates that one should not shake the queen’s hand and should only touch it briefly. The Daily News reports that the White House always briefs the couple on all dos and don’ts before they make any foreign trip.

The boys, aged 9 and 11, were handed over to their father after the woman was arrested overnight in central Sweden, police spokesman Svante Melin said. He said the woman had failed to return the children, who had been living with their father in Australia, after they came to visit her in October. The father had travelled to Sweden to search for the boys and pleaded for the public’s help in locating them. – AP

HK tycoon sues mistress over sex A Hong Kong shoe tycoon is suing his mistress because she broke an agreement not to have sex with anyone else. Patrick Tang, 66, is demanding his mistress Karen Lee, 39, hand back property worth HK$10 million (Bt46 million). Tang, who is married, said Lee had breached the no-sex condition under which he agreed to buy her several properties between 2002 and 2005, the report said. Lee began an affair with a former Mr Hong Kong, Wong Cheung-fat, 23, in the last few months which made the agreement invalid. – AFP

GROWING ADOPTION TREND their daughter, 3-year-old Kylia. Rich foreigners have been adopting children from poorer nations for decades. Mia Farrow, now the mother of 14, began adopting children from Asia in 1973, with an orphan from the Vietnam War. In addition to her daughter Zahara, Jolie adopted her sons Maddox and Pax from Cambodia and Vietnam.

adonna’s efforts to adopt two youngsters from Malawi have put her in the media spotlight. But she isn’t alone: a growing number of Americans are bringing home children from Africa as countries like China and Russia cut back on adoptions by foreigners. The increase – particularly in Ethiopia – comes as the Aids epidemic ravaging the continent leaves more orphans in impoverished countries without relatives to care for them.

Raising awareness
Madonna holds her adopted son David as they meet with the boy’s biological father, Yohane Banda, left, in Malawi earlier this week.
While experts don’t attribute Africa’s growing popularity among adoptive parents to a celebrity factor, they do say high-profile adoptions by the likes of Madonna and Angelina Jolie have raised awareness of the availability of orphans on the continent. “One of the good things about the Madonna adoption
or Angelina Jolie is that those adoptions brought the need to the attention of Europeans or Americans,” said Thomas DiFilipo, president of the Joint Council on International Children’s Services. “And it brought the possibility [of adopting in Africa] to people’s attention.”
Witness testifies Britney was ‘afraid of her father’ A P , Los Angeles
he sister of Britney Spears’ former manager testified on Wednesday that the pop singer said in recent months that she was afraid of her father and wanted help hiring her own lawyer. Attorneys for Spears’ father and conservatorship are seeking a longstanding restraining order against Osama “Sam” Lutfi, a manager and close confidant of the singer during her personal meltdown, that forbids him from contacting her. They reiterated on Wednesday that in December and January Lutfi violated an agreement between him and Jamie Spears not to contact the “Circus” singer. That accord was reached last summer, after Jamie Spears agreed not to seek an extension to a temporary restraining order issued when he took control of his daughter’s affairs. Christina Lutfi said Britney Spears told her that she was afraid of her father and needed her brother’s help to hire her own attorney. The 25-year-old was introduced as a surprise witness on Wednesday, moments after a judge rejected a motion to dismiss the restraining order. Christina said her brother gave her a prepaid cellphone, which she secretly gave to Spears at a hotel sauna, so that

She said she repeatedly called the number, trying to make sure the singer was safe. She claimed she used her brother’s cellphone in recent months. But under questioning by Jamie Spears’ attorneys, Christina could not recall the phone number of one of her brother’s cellphones, nor the phone she said she’d handed to Spears. Jamie Spears testified in February that he eventually found and confiscated the phone, which indicated communications to Lutfi and his daughter’s exboyfriend Adnan Ghalib. The phone’s discovery, and a series of late-night and early phone calls from Lutfi, led to the current restraining-order application.
Wes Stout, 41, who with his wife Kristin, 37, has adopted two children from Ethiopia agrees. “I give some of the popularity of Ethiopia to her celebrity influence,” he said of Jolie, whose daughter Zahara was adopted from the north African country in 2005, the same year the Stouts adopted
But critics have slammed Madonna’s efforts to adopt a second child from Malawi this week, accusing her of acting like a rich “bully” and using her money and status to fasttrack the adoption process. Madonna insisted she was following standard procedures. Many adoption agencies and child-rights activists also argue it is preferable for children to be taken care of by relatives or their communities, with foreign adoptions allowed only as a last resort.

Shela Bar on Soi Langsuan
Luminous on Silom Soi 4
One of Bangkok’s very few girls-only pubs has closed after a little more than a year. The cosy bar delivered femme-friendly vibes and live music by an all-girl band. Like many drinkeries in the area, Shela’s clientele was mostly young professionals and expats. The good news is that Shela’s older sister, Zeta on RCA, is still running.
Another fatality after less than a year, Luminous had in turn been a reincarnation of hip-hop club Speed. It aimed to attract all kinds of customers – hip-hopper straights, house geeks and even fags and fag hags who love drag shows. The notorious drag queen Day Freeman was a regular onstage. In Luminous’ place rises another tapas café.
Twisted Republic on Sukhumvit Soi 11 The dance club on posh Soi 11 says adieu after less than 12 months of top international house and trance DJs. An interactive club, it somehow managed – for a while – to compete with bigtimers like Q Bar and Bed, though with a different demographic.

Are we hiding human rights in a closet? By Pimann Laohapichitpong SPECIAL TO D A I LY X P R E S S
O
n March 26, 2007, the Yogyakarta Principles were launched in Geneva. That’s two years ago but even today when I mention the principles to my family, friends and co-workers, they have no idea what I’m talking about. Here’s a little bit of history. Concerned about human-rights violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity around the world, UN experts, judges, academics and LGBT organisations representing all continents (including Prof Vitit Muntarbhorn from Thailand, who acted as co-chair) met in the Indonesian city of Yogyakarta in November 2006 to discuss ways to promote and protect rights for sexual diversity. The meeting adopted the 29 principles to pave the way for equality for LGBT people, providing guidelines for countries to deal with rights violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The principles were launched and supported by many states and organisations. For example, here in Thailand, the National Human Rights Commission referred to the
Yogyakarta Principles during the drafting of the 2007 constitution. But to be validated, rights need to be recognised by society. Jean Jaques Rousseau, one of the most influential figures in the long history of human rights, said “Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains.” Indeed. It is our right to be gay but our freedom and rights are caught up in the chains of society, since we are all social creatures inevitably bound by it. So unless the general public is made aware of them, the Yogyakarta Principles have only limited use.
Although rights and LGBT activists try hard to promote the Yogyakarta Principles, that work shouldn’t be left to these activists alone. Thailand’s first National Human Rights Day for Sexual Diversity last November may have been organised around the Yogyakarta Principles, but a heterosexual friend of mine commented, “I suppose people like me would never know that.” So, in the third year of the Yogyakarta Principles, let’s tell our families and friends how important these principles are to us. As we come out of the closet, so should our rights.
,, ALTHOUGH HUMAN RIGHTS AND LGBT ACTIVISTS TRY HARD TO PROMOTE THE YOGYAKARTA PRINCIPLES, THAT WORK SHOULDN’T BE LEFT TO THESE ACTIVISTS ALONE.

The last word in
ASTROLOGY
By Eugenia Last
Today’s Birthday: You will take everyone, including yourself, by surprise this year. You will see things as black and white and, although this can have its negatives, it can also help you clear the dead weight from your life. This is a progressive year and it will lead to a better life and a better you.
Yesterday’s Puzzle Answer Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively.
ARIES ** March 21-April 19 Don’t give in to anyone giving you an ultimatum. Instead, continue in a positive direction. A professional deal is coming your way so don’t let an emotional issue affect your concentration. TAURUS **** April 20-May 20 Don’t go over budget with home renovation projects. Do much of the labour yourself and figure out ways to barter for the extras. Someone from your past may pose a problem. GEMINI *** May 21-June 20 Someone may try to convince you that you need his or her help but, before you take it, ask what you have to give in return. Your ability to pull things together will lead to success.
DIFFICULTY RATING ★★★★★
CANCER *** June 21-July 22 Ask yourself how much you are actually enjoying life and what you do each day. It’s time to make some positive changes that will help you move in a better direction and suit you better. LEO *** July 23-Aug. 22 If you can get away, even for just the day, do so. A change will spark your imagination and lead to a romantic encounter. Now is not the time to make a final decision.
CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY
VIRGO *** Aug. 23-Sept. 22 You can take charge but remember that whatever you do will influence your future. Let your practical side be the judge of what you share with others. Keep things to yourself. LIBRA **** Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Expand your interests or get involved in something you enjoy doing and you will meet someone new who will influence your future. Don’t rule out a professional partnership. SCORPIO ** Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Don’t give in to pressure or to anyone giving you an ultimatum. Take control and refuse to let anyone get a rise out of you that may show your emotional weakness. SAGITTARIUS ***** Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Don’t give in to criticism. Just because someone pulls out of a deal or decides not to go along with your plans doesn’t mean you can’t forge ahead. Opportunity will knock if you embrace change. Amanda Bynes
Actress-singer Doris Day is 86. Actress Marsha Mason is 67. Singer Wayne Newton is 67. Singer Billy Joe Royal is 67. Singer Tony Orlando is 65. Singer Richard Thompson is 60.

Singer Sebastian Bach (Skid Row) is 41. Actress Jennie Garth is 37. Singer Leona Lewis is 24. Actress Amanda Bynes is 23.
CAPRICORN *** Dec. 22-Jan. 19 You’ll have trouble controlling your emotions if you get into a feud with someone you deal with regularly. The less said, the better. Change may be necessary but it doesn’t have to cost a friendship. AQUARIUS *** Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Gauge your response carefully and don’t retaliate. Instead, operate under the pretence that everyone else will eventually see things your way. Move forward positively. PISCES ***** Feb. 19-March 20 Present yourself with a challenge and you will have some fun. Your creativity and imagination will help you come up with some great plans. Progress will be yours as long as you aren’t afraid to go it alone.

briefly Mourinho wants to lead a Spanish club
Toshack turns on the referee Furious Wales boss John Toshack slammed the performance of referee Terje Hauge following his side’s 2-0 World Cup qualifying defeat by Germany here at the Millennium Stadium. Toshack said the throw-in which led to captain Michael Ballack firing Germany into the lead from 30 yards should have gone to Wales and that the home side should have had a penalty after Serdar Tasci handled in the box. “The first goal was a ridiculous decision, the throw was for Wales and the linesman had given it,” said Toshack. “As for the handball, it was a penalty and should have been a red card. If that had happened it may not have been so easy for Germany. The referee produced decisions you would not see on Llandaff [Cardiff] playing fields in park football.” – AFP
Riera saves Spain’s blushes Albert Riera scored in injury time to give Spain a 2-1 win over Turkey and keep the European champions perfect in World Cup qualifying group. “We won as we deserved it,” said Spain coach Vicente del Bosque, who complained that his players had problems dealing with English referee Mike Riley. “Our
players had to deal with the referee quite often,” Del Bosque said. “I think we dominated the play. We’re staying unbeaten thanks to my players.” – AP
Capello relieved after victory Fabio Capello has paid tribute to the resilience of England players after a nervy win over Ukraine. Capello admitted the performance had been “a little bit poor.” He was quick to stress the importance of the result however. “When the referee blew the whistle I was very happy,” the Italian said. “We suffered a bit in the second half but we showed a Capello lot of character and patience and I am very happy for John Terry. I think this is the reason he is the captain.” Despite his relief at the outcome. – AFP

Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho said in a remarkable interview he feels like the “Robin Hood” of the club, whom he plans to leave and then lead a Spanish club to title glory. Despite having another year on his contract, he added: “Once my experience with Inter comes to an end I hope to go and coach in Spain because my aim is to win league titles in the top three competitive leagues in the world. All that’s missing is La Liga [Spain].”

Every Bolivian goal was a dagger in my heart.” Argentinian keeper Juan Pablo Carrizo, who had a memorable night for the wrong reasons, was first beaten in the 12th minute by striker Marcelo Martins, who plays for Shakhtar Donetsk in the Ukraine. Bolivia went further ahead in the 34th minute through hattrick hero Botero. Angel Di Maria was sent off in the 63rd minute to make a terrible night even worse.

Striker Lukas Podolski has escaped a German Football Federation (DFB) fine despite his on-field spat with captain Michael Ballack in the 2-0 win over Wales. Ballack and Podolski clashed in the second half of the World Cup qualifier at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium on Wednesday, but despite the Bayern Munich star arguing fiercely with his captain, the DFB will not fine the 23-year-old. The pair exchanged heated words on the Cardiff pitch and the spat was only ended when Germany defenders Per Mertesacker and Philipp Lahm intervened. “The DFB find it hard to take disciplinary measures in this situation,” said team manager Oliver Bierhoff. “There will be no fines or special sanctions.” – A F P

Terry’s mother faces charges for shoplifting
TERRY A CUT ABOVE Rooney’s shearing helps England captain get in the right frame of mind AFP, London
ngland captain John Terry revealed a hair cut from Wayne Rooney helped get him in the right frame of mind to keep his country on course for the World Cup finals. Terry scored England’s late winner as Fabio Capello’s side consolidated their position on top of Group Six with a 2-1 victory over Ukraine at Wembley on Wednesday. The Chelsea defender celebrated his goal by mimicking a trim with Rooney and then admitted he had let his England team-mate loose on his hair earlier in the week. “In the week I needed a little trim up. We’re not allowed to leave the hotel or anything so I asked Wayne and he obliged,” Terry said. “I’m pleased with it. I might go back next time. He was asking for 10 pounds and I still owe him it!” Terry’s tale underlined the positive vibes currently surging through Capello’s squad after an impressing run of five successive victories, which have put England within touching distance of next year’s finals in South Africa. Capello has restored England’s shattered morale since taking over in the aftermath of their failed attempt to qualify for Euro 2008. “I think you can see it in the way the lads are training,” Terry said. “Everyone has got a smile on their face around the camp. “The manager has made

The players are happy and doing what’s right.” Terry was especially pleased with the way they fought back after Andriy Shevchenko cancelled out Peter Crouch’s opener.“We showed good desire. At 1-0 I think it was a little bit too easy for us,” he said. “But at 1-1 the desire and fight was shown. “We could have settled for a draw and walked away half-happy but we got the push from the fans and a kick up the backside from ourselves as well and went on to get the winning goal. So overall we’re very pleased. “It’s disappointing to concede from a set play. We’ve done a lot of work on that over the last 10

days. But we scored two goals from our set-plays so it seemed to work there as well.” Terry wasn’t the only one hogging the spotlight with his celebrations. After his 29th minute volley, Crouch launched into a bizarre shuffling routine based on a comedy sketch from a BBC charity television programme that brought back memories of the robot dance that made the Portsmouth striker such a hit when he first burst onto the international scene. “I’m blaming Rio [Ferdinand] entirely for that. He shouted at me to do it after I scored,” Crouch said. “It’s a bit of a release. It’s always enjoyable when you score a goal.”
England football captain John Terry’s mother and mother-in-law are being sued by Tesco over their shoplifting “spree”, according to the Daily Mail. Sue Terry, 50, and the Chelsea defender’s mother-in-law Sue Poole, 54, face a civil action for more than £300 to pay for the security operation that detained them. The pair were arrested on Wednesday last week after they had loaded their car with £1,450 of goods stolen from Tesco and Marks & Spencer at Brooklands shopping centre in Weybridge, Surrey. The items included watches, pet food and clothes. Tesco expected them to be taken to court and prosecuted for theft but police said they were cautioned “in accordance with national guidelines”. Mrs Terry and Mrs Poole both live at Oxshott, Surrey, in detached houses bought by Terry, who earns £135,000 a week. Terry, 28, was said to be “mortified” by the arrests. Pet food, flip flops and casual clothing were said to be among the items the pair allegedly took. Terry – who has turned his image around after once having a reputation for gambling, drinking and womanising – lives in a palatial home on a private estate with his beautician wife Toni and their two-year-old twins.

Italy still bitter over red card in Irish draw
AFP
AP, Bari, Italy
Italy’s Giampaolo Pazzini heads off for an early bath.
Italy were still bitter yesterday over a perceived referee’s error that forced the World Cup winners to play with 10 men for nearly all of the 90 minutes of their 1-1 draw with Ireland. Forward Giampaolo Pazzini was sent off with a red card three minutes into Wednesday’s game for elbowing John O’Shea while going up for a header, bloodying the Ireland defender’s face.
Replays showed that Pazzini did not raise his arm and that the act was unintentional. “We’ve been subjected to an injustice. I’ve never had something like this happen to me before,” Italy coach Marcello Lippi said. “I don’t even think the referee saw what happened. He just saw the blood and whipped out the red card.” Vincenzo Iaquinta put Italy ahead in the 10th minute but Ireland captain Robbie Keane
equalised in the 89th. “You had to expect that as the minutes went by we would suffer more,” Lippi added. “I’ve never had to play 90 minutes with 10 men before.” It was the quickest red card in Italian national team history. The previous record belonged to Giorgio Ferrini, who was expelled seven minutes into a 2-0 loss to Chile at the 1962 World Cup. Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon said that the linesman
reported the incident to German referee Wolfgang Stark. Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni first said “there was no foul,” then tempered his remark by calling it a “severe decision.” He had mixed emotions after facing his native country. “Usually in these cases I tell jokes, but this time I’m going to ask a question: If you play cards with a friend, do you want to win or lose?” Trapattoni said. “I know my answer.”

McLaren deny lying; Trulli says honesty rewarded AFP, Sepang, Malaysia
cLaren boss Martin Whitmarsh denied yesterday that Lewis Hamilton lied about an incident at the Australian Grand Prix after the Briton was stripped of his third place result. The world champion was fourth in the Melbourne race when Toyota’s Jarno Trulli passed him under safety car conditions on lap 57 last Sunday. The incident earned the Italian a 25-second penalty, which saw him relegated to 12th, with Hamilton promoted onto the podium behind the Brawn 1-2 team of Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello. But after a hastily arranged hearing in Malaysia yesterday, the sport’s governing body ruled that the Briton and his team deliberately provided mis-

McLaren Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton lost his Australian GP podium spot. leading information on the circumstances leading to Trulli’s penalty. The decision not only handed Trulli back third place but disqualified Hamilton and McLaren from the race classification. “The stewards, having considered new elements presented to them, consider that Lewis Hamilton and McLaren
Mercedes acted in a manner prejudicial to the conduct of the event,” the FIA said. It added that Hamilton provided “evidence deliberately misleading to the stewards”. The new elements the FIA considered were believed to be radio conversations between Hamilton and his McLaren team which were seen to contradict the original statements
presented to the stewards. Whitmarsh said the team would not appeal but insisted Hamilton did nothing wrong. “Obviously we are disappointed by what happened,” he said. “Lewis didn’t do anything abnormal and it was clear Trulli shouldn’t have passed him. But we have to accept the decision.” He said there was no question of Hamilton lying. “There is no implication that Lewis lied to the stewards. I don’t know what they meant, but I understand there was a belief the team was not explicit enough about the radio conversation,” he said. Trulli has maintained his innocence, claiming he had little choice but to overtake the Briton again after he slowed down. “It was a controversial end of the race and it was hard for anyone to understand,” the Italian told reporters. “But I’m happy because honesty was rewarded. It is good for the credibility of the sport.”
