THE Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) will stringently apply its rule as provided under Games and Amusements Board (GAB) regulations, league chairman Ricky Vargas said on Sunday.
THE Games and Amusements Board clamps down on John Amores by revoking his professional athlete’s license.
The GAB is the government agency that regulates professional sports and requires all professional Filipino athletes—from basketball to volleyball players, boxers, mixed martial artists to chess players and cyclists as well as cockfighting enthusiasts, among others—to secure a license to ply their trade.“But it is not too late for him,” Vargas said. “He must change his behavior then maybe he can appeal to the GAB to reinstate his license.
“I don’t have any idea about GAB’s decision,” he said. “My priority is to change myself and continuously attend my counseling activities.”
