Cleofoster Harris, a member of the Antigua Barbuda Athletics Association (ABAA), has called for the resignation of ABAA President Everton Cornelius and the entire executive committee, labeling the failure to register the athletes as a \u201cnational disgrace\u201d and an \u201cembarrassment.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
