Johannesburg - Charges will be brought against "certain individuals" at Athletics South Africa (ASA) during a disciplinary inquiry in September, the SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) said on Monday.

"The charge sheets are now being completed out of the final forensic audit report and the initial investigating report in the Caster Semenya issue," SASCOC said in a statement.

"The charge sheets will be issued to those individuals that are to be charged and the first sitting of the disciplinary inquiry is scheduled for 9 and 10 September, 2010," it said.

ASA administrator Ray Mali would formally charge certain individuals, as recommended in the forensic report.

SASCOC would not elaborate.

Last week, SASCOC said the audit had uncovered poor corporate governance, the alleged misappropriation of funds and tax evasion.

The ASA board was suspended last November, along with three members of staff.

Interim administrators put in place by SASCOC have been increasingly criticised by athletes, coaches and officials over their handling of the ASA.

Three of the original nine interim board members - James Evans, Hendrick Ramaala and Geraldine Pillay - have already resigned.

Suspended ASA officials who have not resigned include president Leonard Chuene and general manager Molatelo Malehopo.
