 – Says Dr Frank Anthony

Minister of Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony yesterday admitted that athletes need to be more supported by the government as well as corporate Guyana.

Dr. Anthony made the comments on Thursday during a courtesy call by members of the Athletic Association of Guyana (AAG) and some of the athletes that represented Guyana at the recently concluded CARIFTA Games in Martinique.

“When athletes have to travel, we help out with the waiving of airport taxes and so on but more needs to be done,”
