With Guyana registering its first serious performance enhancing drug offence compliments of powerlifter Gumendra Shewdas, the task now is to get every stakeholder involved in sports acquainted with the implications for athletes, officials and the country at large.
To this end, the Guyana Olympic Association will be holding its Annual Sports Administrators’ Course over the period February 13-16, 2014, at Olympic House, 76 High Street, Kingston, Georgetown.
The Course is designed to improve the knowledge and competence of sports managers and leaders, and also caters for sports administrators from the outlying areas.
Invitations have been extended to National Sports Associations, The Guyana Teachers’ Union, Guyana Police Force, Guyana Defence Force, Prison and Fire Services and the National Sports Commission.
According to correspondence received from the GOA, some of the topics that will be discussed during the period are Value and Ethics in Sports; Performance Enhancing Drugs and its Prevalence in Sports; Challenges Facing Sports in Developing Countries; Volunteerism; Importance of Sports Nutrition; Marketing and Public Relations and its Importance to Sports Associations; Women in Sport; Drugs and Doping in Sports; Combining Education and Sports; Sport and the Law; Budget and Money Management; Conducting Meetings; Sports for All; Preparing a Budget for a Sports Delegation; Governance of a Sports Organisation and HIV / AIDS and Protecting Youths in Sport.
Among the panelists expected to facilitate the discussions are Garfield Wiltshire, Noel Adonis, Wanda Richmond, Mayfield Taylor-Trim; Christopher ‘Kit’ Nascimento, Tricia Fiedtkou, Hector Edwards, Attorney-at-Law Emily Dodson, Ms. Roxanne George Puisne Judge, Ivor O’Brien, Charles Corbin, Abigail Caleb, Claude Blackmore and Donald Sinclair, while Stabroek News’ Sports Editor Donald Duff and Kaieteur News’ Sports Reporter Rawle Welch will form part of a four-man panel that will offer views on ‘Performance Enhancing Drugs and its Prevalence in Sports’.
