MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Panfilo "Ping" Lacson said that the exclusion of award-winning Filipino pole vaulter EJ Obiena from the World Indoor Championships in Serbia is a missed opportunity due to sports politics which took place amid athlete's spat with the Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association (PATAFA).

 

"EJ Obiena: a case of missed opportunity because of sports politics. Sayang," Lacson said in a tweet on Sunday. 

 

He was referring to Patafa's non-endorsement of Obiena which resulted to the World No. 5 pole vaulter not being able to compete in the World Indoor Championships in Belgrade, Serbia.
