TIMES INT'L

The Disciplinary Committee appointed by the Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) to look into the misconduct of three players who represented Guyana at the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, India in October, has made public the findings of its investigations and the subsequent punishment handed to the trio. 

Robin Roberts chairman of the disciplinary committee appointed by the executive committee of the GRFU,  yesterday issued a release on the subject. Below is the full text of that release:

“The Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) recently brought three of its players, namely, Kevin Mc Kenzie, Albert La Rose and Dwayne Schroeder, before the Disciplinary Committee appointed by the GRFU for conduct and behaviour that was undisciplined during their participation in the Commonwealth Games. 

“The Disciplinary Committee found that the three players were guilty of gross misconduct which brought the country, the game of rugby, and the team into disrepute; and (the Disciplinary Committee has, consequently), made the following decisions: 

* Albert La Rose — suspended for two (2) years from participating in local and international rugby tournaments and from representing Guyana in any form of rugby during the period of suspension. 

* Kevin Mc Kenzie — suspended for one (1) year from participating in local and international rugby tournaments and from representing Guyana in any form of rugby during the period of suspension. 

*Dwayne Schroeder- suspended for nine (9) months from participating in local and international rugby tournaments, and from representing Guyana in any form of rugby during the period of suspension. 

“The players were afforded the opportunity to appeal the decision of the Disciplinary Committee in writing within seven (7) days of being informed of the disciplinary action taken against them. An appeal submitted by Dwayne Schroeder outside of the prescribed period was not considered. An appeal submitted by Albert La Rose was considered, and the decision of the Disciplinary Committee was upheld. Technical grounds for an appeal were submitted from attorneys-at-law on behalf of Kevin Mc Kenzie, and were considered and found to be without merit.”
