Dear Editor,
It has been some time now since I have been highlighting sports and its ambassadors of Guyana via commentaries, and I will continue in doing so once time permits me to.
The decision by the Guyanese Commonwealth boxers who allegedly absconded in the USA is one that they will have to live with. They will also have to live with whatever consequences befall them.
I honestly don’t believe that life will be all that glittery for them during these trying times of recession in the USA and being without identity.
At the same time, it was reported that any in transit person/s has up to 29 days before departing the country and it is fair game for us to wait and see if they will return to Guyana on or before the 29 days are up….
The immediate family members now have a responsibility to do what is necessary in giving the best guidance. I make a special appeal to the Canadian, UK and USA Consular offices not to penalise the innocent potential sports ambassadors of Guyana, who will in the future be visiting their offices…
If the boxers refuse to return, they do not represent the masses of Guyana. T. Pemberton
