Callender stresses importance of disciplinary committee after its recent unveiling

Roger Callender, the President of the Guyana Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (GBBFF), recently announced the formation of a disciplinary committee, emphasising its importance to Guyana Times Sport.
“The naming of the disciplinary committee was by constitution. Within our constitution, it states that the President shall appoint a disciplinary committee.”
Callender elaborated on the committee’s role, stating, “That committee will serve as an essential regulatory body designed to uphold the integrity, professionalism, and sportsmanship of the sport in Guyana, which includes a variety of things: athletes’ code of conduct, WADA [World Anti-Doping Agency] anti-doping rules, and IFBB [International Fitness and Bodybuilding Federation] standards.”
Looking ahead, Callender discussed the implications of this committee’s establishment for the federation’s future.
“Governed by a five-member panel, this ensures that no single individual holds absolute decision-making powers, ensuring the highest standard of integrity and upholding the laws and mandates of the constitution,” he explained.
He also reassured that the committee will function in a fair and impartial manner for all athletes involved in bodybuilding.
