School Athletic Association completely irresponsible
There were no proper safety measures that had been taken in the Sir John Tarbet Athletics Championship concluded yesterday.
The Sri Lanka School Athletic Association (SLSAA) along with Ceylon
Biscuits Limited organized the championship but this year there was no
ambulance kept stand by at the venue. Ambulances being kept at the site
is a must in any sporting event and Sri Lanka has been facing many sad
situations of athletes dying as a result of this lapse.
When athletes were injured during the race there was no one to help them
until their parents come in to help them. This was a pathetic
occurrence at this year's championship. These incidents kept on
repeating and so many incidents took place during the three days of the
championship and several schools made official complaints to the SLSAA
but it seems like they don't care or consider their complains.
Organizers should be more concerned on the children rather than their
benefits and questions were raised as to what was happening to the funds
they get from the main sponsors. School children were seen eating their
meals where sewerage was flowing slightly away from where they were.
Had the funds been properly utilized there would not be questions asked.
Ceylon Biscuits is a large company and these children they support are
their future customers, sadly the company authorities who were involved
seemed to have forgotten the fact that this was no way to treat the
future citizens.
