Beyond the National Sports Awards, the Urgency of Youth

This Friday, the Côte-d’Or complex will be illuminated for the National Sports Awards. Under the auspices of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the ceremony will celebrate performance and sporting excellence. On paper, the message is well-crafted: sports are seen as the ultimate antidote to society's ailments. However, behind the shine of the trophies, a shadow lingers — that of a youth who, far from the tracks and stadiums, is lost in the labyrinth of drug issues.
