The bodies for volleyball, handball, table tennis, cycling and rugby were "dissolved for non-conformity with national and int'l rules, regulations, norms, standards and codes of conduct governing the particular sport." The country is left with 10 sports associations allowed to operate pending "an inquiry into the dealings of the dissolved associations" (AFP, 6/19).
