Havana, July 19 (JIT)-- The National Boxing Commission reports the expulsion from the Cuban sports structure of the athlete Andy Cruz Gómez.

Due to its importance and timeliness, JIT reproduces in its entirety the note that reached its editorial office. 

INFORMATION FROM THE NATIONAL BOXING COMMISSION

The National Boxing Commission informs that as a result of exhaustive analysis initiated within the disciplinary commission of our national school, it has been decided to expel the athlete Andy Cruz Gómez from the Cuban sports structure.

The measure has been adopted in view of the repeated indiscipline committed by him, including his absence from the training sessions prior to the National Boxing Tournament Playa Giron 2022 and his non-intervention in that event, the most important organized by our sport.

The process from which the above-mentioned sanction emerged also took into account his absences and late arrivals to training sessions, his absences from teaching activities, marked by a significant decline in his academic performance, and the way in which he turned his back on the commitments assumed in several meetings organized by the INDER management.

There were multiple spaces for dialogue designed to exchange on these and other breaches, recognized by the athlete himself, protagonist of a behavior that showed signs of deterioration during the first half of this year.

We reiterate that all the assessments were characterized by transparency and adherence to the provisions of the disciplinary regulations governing high performance in the country.

We insist that the decision to continue contributing pages to the beautiful history of Cuban revolutionary boxing will always be incompatible with performances alien to the essences that have distinguished us as representatives of a people that applauds dignity as the most important of medals.
