Washington
Blay Suffers Suspension
By Julu M. Johnson, Jr.
Former Lone Star and Mighty Barrolle defender Washington Blay has
been declared suspended by the old-timer club he has been playing
for.
The action of suspension for time indefinite was taken against Blay
by the Veteran Old-timer Sports Association (VOSA), based in the
West Point Township.
The suspension action was contained in a written communication
addressed to Blay on April 16, 2009.
The man popularly known as ‘Defense Minister’ was informed by VOSA:
“Please be informed that you are hereby suspended for time
indefinite for acts incompatible with your status and your unruly
behavior meted out against the Acting Financial Secretary and the
Chief Medical Officer of the supra-mentioned Association immediately
after our interactive encounter with the Slipway Old-timers in the
Sinkor Old-timers Invitational Tournament held at the S.K.D. Sports
Complex in February 2009.
Your actions were not only an affront to the aforesaid officials but also
a recipe for besmearing the hard-earned image of our noble
Association.”
The Veteran Old-timer Sports Association stated to Blay that while
serving his suspension, he is to desist from participating in all of
the activities of VOSA pending the review of his status and the
lifting of said suspension.
“It is hoped that this decision will serve as a medium through which
you will see reason to reshape your thought and conscience as a
founding member whose sole responsibility is to conform to and
uphold the core values for which VOSA stands. Kindly note that the
repeat or recurrence of such unwholesome act will leave the
Association with no alternative but to pursue the ultimate
administrative action against you as per the standards, principles
and regulations of VOSA,” the team indicated in its communication to
Blay.
The former national team defender is a founding member of VOSA and
also served as captain for the team. The action by VOSA may
undoubtedly bar Blay from partaking in any old-timers football games
until the indefinite suspension is lifted.
