Long standing Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) head, K Juman-Yassin who is currently overseas, says that there will be a press briefing to address the recent comments by Nicolette Fernandes upon his return this month end.
Renowned for her exploits on the court, squash queen, Fernandes may have to consider a post retirement occupation in journalism after ‘grabbing the headlines’ in a letter full of ‘hot balls’ which asked the important question “Who holds the individuals of our governing sports bodies to account?”.
In the ‘hard-hitting’ 17-paragraph statement, which was eloquently written to the leading dailies and which went viral on social media, Fernandes was critical of the treatment of athletes by politicians and sporting bodies like the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) and the GOA.
