We refer to an article (TMID 10 May) on the questions that Labour MP Adrian Vassallo put to ministers Louis Galea and Tonio Borg respectively about a shooter competing without a valid police permit.

The Malta Olympic Committee would like to state that no athlete competing in those games falling under their jurisdiction has ever participated in competitions in violation of the law of the organising committee.
