After withdrawing from the ‘Ride for Life’ five-stage event following a 30-second penalty, Team Coco’s riders were a no-show for Sunday’s Digicel’s Breast Cancer Awareness road race prompting cycling enthusiasts to ask the question if the riders were banned from competing.

According to president of the Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF), Cheryl Thompson, the riders, including defending champion, Raynauth Jeffrey, must have boycotted the event since the federation did not impose a ban on them.

“The federation did not ban any cyclist,”
