Cant wait to see that battle in 2012 and hopefully I will be in the stadium to see it.

PS Clement is a traitor! He was born and bred in Trinidad and the US used him because of his talent. Are you telling me if he was goat, the US would have given him citizenship that quickly? A small country like T&T needs all the track stars it could get, because they dont grow on trees. 400M hurdlers are a dime a dozen in the US, so Clement will be forgotten as soon as his career is over. They produced Ed Moses for God's sake! However, should Jehue win olympic gold, he will get car and house as well as a plane, boat, staduim and school named after him. He will be immortalised forever!

So we gone back to this "Clement is traitor" old talk  :D....I hear two sides of this story and dont know which one is true. One side is de man easily decided to run for the US when they offered and did not care about running for T&T..and de other side is the man wanted to run for T&T but the NAAA (T&T track federation) did not treat the man right and made his decision easier to run for the US...


at this point i really dont care...its water under the bridge

anyone knows where in T&T Clement grew up ?..and what school in T&T he used to run for ?...

Until you know the story of how the USA even came to have him as an athlete, it's probably best to reserve judgment on the young man. Few know the story but it was basically a case of "I have lived here (US) but was born and raised there (TNT), and would like to represent you." ....and then there was the usual non-action.

Also, that reasoning of being a star here vs. there and house/car/diplomatic passport/lifetime never having to buy a drink in bar etc.  As someone who lived that I can tell you there are trade-offs in every decision.

Consider:

US 400 runner of his caliber automatically probably adds 4-6 championship gold medals from 4x400m relays over a career, I think he already has 3 relay golds from the 2 worlds and Olympics since turning pro.

Shoe companies usually pay USA athletes more (some exceptions: Richard)

No federation B.S./comess the likes of which I and all before me had to endure.

He wouldn't be the first or the last to hold a grudge about home so like you said is time to move on - this traitor thing implies somehow TnT is owed something from him which he has not delivered on.

I guess if he throw on a "Wine and Jam" T-shirt after he win his next race all is forgiven?  :thinking:

The youthman made his decision based on what he thought was best for him. Be glad he is doing well. The man is most likely "playing for what he can see in front of him," and not banking on the hope of a possible house/car/free drinks and passport...."if he win"

If a man living in a foreign country and is afforded a means of living an improved life via adopting the country of residence options does that mean he is unpatriotic or practical? ... everyone knows that people are deemed a resource until the usefulness of this resource expires and then like most organizations they will be discarded.
Unless both options are equally viable options he owes it to himself to do what is best for him and his family and patriotism doesn't have a damn thing to do with it.
Patriotism or lack thereof has nothing to do with cause and effect!

Yes I am completely "shut down" when it comes to having any discussion centered around "whoever disagrees with me, %^$& them". 

The real joke is I hold no brief for Clement, so it matters none. Jehue is my focus, so if Clement is "off" then it's better for Jehue

I can personally vouch for this. I spoke to Wayne Davis father at CARIFTA in CI this year and he told me that the NAAA is/was dragging their feet regarding him switching to T&T. So this could be a Kerron Clement II

I had spoken to Wayne Davis Sr. about that and he did say that the association kept dragging its feet and they opted for the US after running out of patience. But his daughter does run the hurdles for TT I think. There always seem to be some issues with overseas born athletes or athletes born in TT but raised overseas. Well Ato is an exception( :notworthy:). A lots of times it is money issues. And some time it appears to be plain infighting in the association. Some may want the athlete, others may not. But Ato can give us a better insight. He went thru that process.

Post by: STMB on September 22, 2010, 06:21:25 AM
Well, one has to understand the process before drawing conclusions, and I confess I do not, and I am basing my comments on what I have read so far.

Yes, it's a travesty that T&T talent opts for US sponsorship, but I am not sure what kind of "money" these athletes and their parents are requesting upfront to represent T&T. If they love T&T, why they asking for money to represent? Even though Wayne Davis has shown his talents as a junior, he still needs to come to T&T, run as a guest in T&T champs, or even go further and qualify for a senior team, and perform well before he can get any monies from T&T - just as it is for any other T&T-based athlete (Jehue had to do so before getting support). The last thing we want are prima donnas getting incentives upfront before they even perform for T&T. I do not know about you all but T&T citizenship is not some kind of "liability" to be extorted. I am sure for instance if he was in the UK and wanted to run for the US, he'd have to make some compromise to be considered.

In addition, I doubt that the NAAA has the resources (especially financial) to compete with the USATF if the latter is indeed providing multi-year financial support. Without gov't subventions and sponsorship these guys can only raise money through bake sales and brams. But in fairness to the youth, it takes money to train, travel, and compete at a high level in the US, and maybe his parents may not have the resources. Should they continue to show interest in competing for T&T, in my view the only way that incentive programs for attracting and urging a 2-way commitment from talented and worthy athletes can happen are through 2 channels - 1. via the Min. of Sport (yes big mouth Spalk - if he could only forget about parlancing in Parliament and deal with these kinds of issues through his Permanent Secretary); and 2. private-sector sponsorship (and you know how stingy Trini rich people can be unless there is something in it for them).

You are talking 20 years almost in between decisions I made in 1991 and what Jehue or a Kerron would have had to make. My situation was different because I had professional people around me saying this is the PRO this is the CON, and to me it was never even a debate in my mind.

By the time Jehue is done I don't think this Kerron tabanca will be what it is today.

Jehue ran a good leg my friend, it was Lalonde who threw away our medal chances.

Take a look at the Men's 4x400m Relay Final here again:

2013 IAAF World Championships men 4x400m relay FINAL
http://www.youtube.com/v/qHxnFQwk01s

August 16, 2013 The 14th IAAF World track and field championships in Moscow, Russia; Athletics: Men's 4x400 meter relay final

GOLD UNITED STATES USA 2:58.71 WL David Verburg Tony McQuay Arman Hall LaShawn Merritt
SILVER JAMAICA JAM 2:59.88 SB Rusheen McDonald Edino Steele Omar Johnson Javon Francis
BRONZE RUSSIA RUS 2:59.90 SB Maksim Dyldin Lev Mosin Sergey Petukhov Vladimir Krasnov
4 GREAT BRITAIN & N.I. GBR 3:00.88 Conrad Williams Martyn Rooney Michael Bingham Nigel Levine
5 BELGIUM BEL 3:01.02 Jonathan Borlée Kévin Borlée Dylan Borlée Will Oyowe
6 TRINIDAD & TOBAGO TRI 3:01.74 Renny Quow Lalonde Gordon Jehue Gordon Jarrin Solomon
7 BRAZIL BRA 3:02.19 Pedro Luiz de Oliveira Wagner Cardoso Anderson Henriques Hugo de Sousa
8 AUSTRALIA AUS 3:02.26 SB Steven Solomon Alexander Beck Craig Burns Tristan Thomas
14th IAAF World Championships RUSSIA Moscow (Luzhniki), RUSSIA 10 AUG 2013 - 18 AUG 2013

I am convinced that if Cedenio was used instead of a spent Lalonde in the Final and we ran our team in this order: Renny Quow >> Jarrin Solomon >> Machel Cedenio >> Jehue Gordon that we could have medalled and maybe have even set a new PB.

actually both L.Gordon and J.Gordon splits were poor L.Gordon was around 46.2 J.Gordon was around 45.8 that's not good enough if you want to win a medal.

Jehue made up ground on the Jamaican athlete who was ahead of him when he was handed the baton while Lalonde in contrast got the baton in 3rd place and ended up in 6th place on his leg so from that perspective Jehue ran a much better leg than Lalonde did.

Its clear that the race was lost for T&T on the 2nd leg and that the other two T&T athletes were left with an almost impossible task to make up the lost ground thereafter.

Btw why were you arguing about Kerron Clement running a faster leg for us? He has already made his name as a USA athlete and is no longer interesting in running for T&T so that argument is a bit pointless.

As I already said the order of Renny Quow >> Jarrin Solomon >> Machel Cedenio >> Jehue Gordon could have won us a silver or bronze medal but we seem to be unwilling to give Cedenio his opportunity to prove himself at the senior level.

T&T time was 3:01:74 RUS was 2:59:90 that's a difference of 1:84 that means Marchal Cedino would have to run a 44.30 split there is no way in hell he can do that Dion Lendore's injury pretty much ended our chance of getting a medal.

Fella we ran faster in the Heat than we did in the Final with Lalonde on the squad but the big difference was that Jarrin ran the 2nd leg. I think that putting Jarrin again on the 2nd leg in the Final would have meant that we would have at least maintained our 3rd position on that 2nd leg.
A fresh Cedenio in for a spent Lalonde would not have given up that position on the 3rd leg and Jehue would have run his heart out on the final lap to at least keep us in the bronze medal position to mount the podium once again. Jehue already proved he has the winning do or die attitude in the 400m hurdles final.

No one knows what time a hungry Cedenio would have run given the opportunity to run the 3rd or 4th leg in the final. I personally believe he would have announced his arrival as a young new 400m star at the senior level and would have run a mid to low 45 leg.

I agree that's were the coach screwed up with jarrin not running the 2nd leg and we would have to do like Belgium and hope that M,Cedino and J.Gordon run the race of there lives and hold off the pack.

I honestly believe they both would have ran the legs of their lives and we would have medalled but as you agreed the coaching staff screwed up by running a spent Lalonde on the 2nd leg.
