PETALING JAYA: The national diving team is in the news again for the wrong reasons.
Videos have surfaced on Facebook of the divers allegedly consuming alcohol during their training camp in Guangzhou, China.
The videos, which allegedly showed the senior divers in the Podium Programme and also the juniors, were shot during the Chinese New Year in February this year.
