President of the Guyana Olympic Association K. Juman Yassin yesterday conceded that his association should shoulder some of the blame for the lack of a physiotherapist and medical personnel at the recent South American Games when boxer Keevin Allicock fell ill after failing to make the weight for his semi-final bout.
Yassin made the disclosure yesterday at Olympic House, Liliendaal at a press conference to address the fallout over the fact that the GOA did not send a medical personnel with the South American Games contingent.
Although Chef-De-Mission Keavon Bess described the team’s performance as credible given that Guyana walked away with three medals, finishing 13th, the press conference was dominated by the fallout from the Allicock health fright.
