Attending the meeting of the Organizing Committee were Mr. Tran Minh Tien, Chairman of the Vietnam Boxing Federation (VBF); Mr. Nguyen Duc Dam, Director of Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Tien Giang Province; Mr. Nguyen Duy Hung, Vice Chairman of VBF … with the 2nd team of Boxing Binh Duong and Can Tho teams. Thethao.vn Also present at the meeting.
As soon as the meeting started, VBF said they wanted to talk with 2 delegations of Binh Duong and Can Tho about the case of 2 athletes like Thethao.vn Reported: Nguyen Ngoc Tram (Can Tho delegation) and Tran Van Thao (Doan Binh Duong).
Speaking at the meeting, Ms. Tran Thi Hao, Head of Boxing Department of Can Tho City, Head of Can Tho Delegation attended the Boxing Championship of the National Strong Teams 2022, said: “This is the fact that no one wants to happen. In the case of Tram athlete, we originally registered for her to participate in the competition.
But on the day of the official competition, Tram was not eligible to attend so we withdrew the name. On the day of registration for the athletes to attend the tournament, I am not a direct registration but assign another coach (Mr. Pham Thanh Hai – According to the information Thethao.vn record). By the time of drawing scheduled, that coach was busy so I attended.
In the category Tram registered, I thought that Tram did not attend, so I just took a look at, did not notice; Only focus on the weight classes with their athletes attending. Until the afternoon of the first competition (March 24), I reviewed the results of the branch draw to see Tram appeared. However, I did not recommend it because I could not draw again, nor did it affect the results. “
Commenting on having a number of athletes who were not on the registration list but still being drawn schedule by the Can Tho delegation changed the list, the VBF said:
“First, this must be a VBF's fault. But in the tournament charter, we clearly reflect even if there is a registration and a schedule, athletes, if they are not present, are certainly eliminated and have no medals even when they are in the semi -finals.
Regarding whether Can Tho has registered for athlete Nguyen Ngoc Tram or not, first must be confirmed. Tram is on the preliminary registration list with the signature and red seal of the Can Tho delegation. However, then Tram athlete was not registered, did not pay for the competition registration fee. Tram is not a virtual athlete, she has a name and has been registered, then withdraws.
The fact that I still have the name of the jet draw does not affect the professional work (…), and about the part of the VBF, we will have an official dispatch to the General Department of Sports on this issue. “
As for the registration part of the athlete Tran Van Thao, Mr. Nguyen Hoa Binh (Head of Boxing Department of Binh Duong Province, Head of Binh Duong delegation attended the Boxing Championship of the Nation's strong teams 2022) said: “Thao is on the registration list, full of papers as prescribed by the Federation, with fees, with negative COVIV-19 tests”.
Agreeing with the opinion of the Binh Duong side, VBF said that Binh Duong's registration for athlete Tran Van Thao is completely valid. VBF itself has not received any document from Boxing – Kicboxing (General Department of Sports and Physical Education) about the athlete Tran Van Thao named in the list of Vietnam Boxing team attending the Thailand's expansion.
“The fact that VBF did not receive information about the Vietnam Boxing team attended the expansion of the Thailand made the team's procedures for malfunctioning. Many athletes went to the airport but could not fly, had to return. Doan Binh Duong was not at fault in registering for the athlete Tran Van Thao because Binh Duong did not know the information that Thao went to Thailand to play,” VBF concluded.
