No team doctor on Black Bombers contingent to Cameroon

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).
