According to Hurtado, the explanation given by the authorities of the Ministry of Sports was that, due to the security situation in the country, the necessary funds have not been received to comply with the payments to the athletes. In recent statements, the marcher expressed his understanding of the economic difficulties, but pointed out the importance of making timely investments in sports. The situation worsens when the Ecuadorian athlete reflects on the presence of managers who, according to him, only appear “for the photo.” “Total indignation and total disrespect. I may have invested around 10,000 hours on the Los Chasquis track and when someone (manager) comes who didn’t lift a finger to take the photo, I feel indignant,” Hurtado expressed.
