Athletics SA (ASA) was suspended by South Africa's Olympic governing body on Sunday after its members ignored the sanctions placed on its board.
President for Sascoc Gideon Sam says the suspension is with immediate effect.
Sascoc has decided that athletes of ASA will not be included in future Team SA squads for the Commonwealth Youth
Games, Commonwealth Games, All Africa Games,and the Olympic Games to name a few.
After a special general meeting in Pretoria on Saturday, ASA said it would continue to recognise the ASA board, which was
suspended by Sascoc in April.
Sam says while ASA could continue to engage with the International Athletics federation on
the functioning and administration of the sport, it was no longer affiliated to Sascoc.
