Philippine Dragon Boat Team - No Heroes Welcome and Should Resign (Philippine Sports Commission)

After the Philippine Dragon Boat Team grabbed 5 golds and 2 silver in the 2011 World Championships at Tampa Bay, Florida, the team who brought pride in the Philippines will not receive heroes welcome and any monetary rewards from the government,  Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) said.

The commission added that the team is not a member of National Sports Association (NSA) and Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) and therefore they will not receive any of these treatments.

Aside from these, reports from TV Patrol also said that some members of PH Dragon Boat team were asked to resign or leave since they are old and just using steroids.

Similar reports mentioned that the funds being spent by the team are coming from private sectors and community contributions from Fil-Am citizens abroad.

Meanwhile, the PH Dragon Boat team will be going back to the country on Friday.
