After our experience at the RJR Sportsman and Sportswoman Award Ceremony, Charles wrote an email on behalf of himself and Katherine, to inform the chairman of the RJR Sports Foundation, Mr. Gary Allen of our experience. Charles received a phone call from Mr. Allen within 30 minutes of sending the email to apologize for our experience and that he will launch an investigation to find out what happened that night. I just want to comment on how professional and personable, Mr. Allen was in handling the matter in such a prompt manner. Although badminton is not a big, well known sport in Jamaica compared to other sports such as athletics, football or cricket, Mr. Allen's response demonstrated that he and the RJR SPorts Foundation have an appreciation for all sports regardless of status.
