Dragonboat Team laments exclusion from Asiad


PhilBoxing.com


Members of the national men?s and women?s dragonboat team should have been allowed see action in the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou. International Dragonboat Federation executive president Mike Haslam said this to Philippine Dragonboat Federation president Marcia Cristobal upon learning that the national paddlers have been scratched from the national delegation which will be sent to the quadrennial meet.

?Haslam told Cristobal in an email that the ?IDBF feels that the POC has not given full consideration to the matter? when they conducted time trial races last week at the La Mesa Dam in Quezon City.

?He added that the IDBF should have first been consulted by the POC ?if they really thought that there were inconsistencies in the results of the time trials.?

?They should have consulted the IDBF as the international federation responsible for dragon boat sports for what time is acceptable for a 1000-meter race, etc., and asked the IDBF to adjudicate , before banning the national dragon boat team from Guangzhou,? added Haslam.

The IDBF added that it is willing to give advice and mediate on behalf of the PDBF before officials of the POC over their status.

??? ?The IDBF is still open to give such advice and adjudication, as the Philippine teams is more than capable of winning medals in the 2010 Asian Games,? stated Haslam.

??? Cristobal said during yesterday?s weekly session of the Sports Communicators Organization of the Philippines at the Kamayan Restaurant in Padre Faura that the PDBF is still awaiting official word from the POC as to why the national paddlers have been delisted from the delegation.

The PDBF said this as members of the national paddlers expressed their indignation over their non-inclusion in the roster.

?Bilang atleta, masama ang aking pakiramdam. Last year pa kami nag-eensayo. Alam namin na ang Asian Games ay hindi basta-basta kaya confident kami nung time trials,? said women?s team skipper Amina Anudin.

Members of the national men?s team concurred with Anudin.

??Masakit sa loob. Kasi,lahat ng hirap naranasan namin sa ensayo. Parang dinagdagan pa,? stated men?s skipper Rolando Isidro.
