Boxing
The National Amateur Boxing team, the Black Bombers, who are in Yaounde to participate in the Amateur International Boxing Association (AIBA) African Olympic qualifier went there without a team doctor.
The 16 man contingent left the shores of Ghana without a doctor who would be responsible for the physical welfare of the boxers.
This is not a good precedent as Black Bombers are the only hope for Ghana, with regards to a sizeable representation in the upcoming Rio Olympics.
In a interview with sportscrusader.com the Public Relation officer of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) Madam Naa Darkoah said “its very unfortunate the team traveled without a team doctor, but we have doctors in Yaounde to take care of the team when the need arises”.
This unfortunate incident is very disturbing, as the core aspect of managing a very promising team is being neglected by the stakeholders, which includes the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA).
