THE International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) has just recently launched its Competition Rules 2012-2013. Chapter. 2 reads: Eligibility; chapter3 reads: Anti-Doping and Medical; chapter 4 reads: Technical rules which comprises officials, general competition rules, track and field events, etc. In my personal opinion, it’s very informative reading of the rules and regulations that govern Track and Field, and I feel that it will be beneficial for the entire Track and Field Fraternity of Guyana which includes the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA), Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG), Athletic clubs (coaches and athletes) and sports enthusiasts.
Having said that, the same applies for the Founder and Administrator, Akeem Benjamin of the Guyana Track Family. This is in relation to a report in another section of the press captioned, ‘Guyana now has a GTF page on Facebook’.
I must commend the founder for his initiative of such a venture and all other personnel who may have contributed towards progress and growth of this fraternity.
Very importantly, the objective and mission statement for such a project is vital and my expectation is that a good representation is made or put forward.
