Pri­vate sec­tor health­care provider, Med­corp, and leg­endary bats­man Bri­an Lara yes­ter­day said the name of The Bri­an Lara Can­cer Treat­ment Cen­tre has not changed.

The state­ment came in a news re­lease yes­ter­day, one day af­ter the Sun­day Guardian pub­lished a pho­to­graph, tak­en on Sat­ur­day, which showed that Bri­an Lara’s name had been re­moved from the can­cer treat­ment cen­tre.

The Sun­day Guardian quot­ed Lara as say­ing his le­gal team had sent a let­ter to the Med­corp board of di­rec­tors. Asked if he wished to have his name re­moved from the can­cer treat­ment cen­tre, Lara told the Sun­day Guardian, “No, that is not the case. It’s a sit­u­a­tion where we sent them a let­ter, and they have to re­spond. Un­til then, I pre­fer to have no com­ment. We wait for their re­sponse.”
