THE Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) has responded to the World Cycling Body’s (UCI) president Brian Cookson, recommending that the body should intervene in the current impasse facing the sport.
In a letter today, the GOA head K.A. Juman Yassin wrote Mr Cookson, stating that he is “urging you and your body to pay a keen interest in what is happening in Guyana and in this regard, perhaps send a representative so there may be some unity between the clubs and the executive of the Guyana Cycling Federation”.

Yassin pledged the assistance of the GOA in any regard possible in resolving the said issues which plague the sport.
According to Yassin’s letter, “All is not well in Guyana with cycling” with several of the clubs that constitute the GCF, having moved a motion to dissolve the current administration and appoint an interim management committee.

Nonetheless, the GOA contended that it only recognises Mr Horace Burrowes as the elected president of the body, reminding that GCF executives were present at the GOA’s General Assembly last month.
The letter contended that whatever moves the international body intends to make, it should do so ‘soon’, claiming that the disunity puts “the sport of cycling and our cyclists at a great disadvantage”.
