"This is akin to primary school playground politics where kids go 'I don't friend you already!' just because you say something they don't like," he added. The 27-year-old was recently in the headlines over a dispute with fellow national teammate Ashley Liew, whose account of the men's marathon at the 2015 SEA Games Soh disagreed with.

Last October, Soh, who had also competed in the marathon and won gold, posted a comment on the International Fair Play Committee's Facebook page alleging that Liew's account was"untrue". He repeated this on his blog and elaborated on it in a Facebook post.
