RACING FOR GOLD
Thompson, Bledman in 100m semis
By Kwame Laurence in Daegu

Trinidad and Tobago track star Richard "Torpedo" Thompson squares off against Jamaican sensation Usain Bolt at 5.38 this morning (T&T time), in the second of three men's 100 metres semi-final heats, at the IAAF World Championships, here in Daegu, Korea.

"I am sure," Thompson told the Express, "that whatever semi-final I end up in I will have to run hard, but I am prepared to if I have to."

Heat two will also feature Bolt's teammate, Michael Frater, France's Christophe Lemaitre, American Trell Kimmons and Norway's Jaysuma Saidy Ndure. And with just two sprinters advancing automatically to the 7.45 a.m. championship race, T&T's double Olympic silver medallist will certainly require a big effort to guarantee himself a lane.

"I am in great shape, so having to repeat two hours later in the final won't be an issue."

At 5.30, Bledman will make his first World Championship 100m semi-final appearance. The 23-year-old T&T sprinter runs in heat one, against France's Jimmy Vicaut, Jamaican Yohan Blake, American Walter Dix, Great Britain's Dwain Chambers and Antiguan Daniel Bailey.

The third semi-final features another Jamaican, Nesta Carter, as well as St Kitts and Nevis' 2003 world champion Kim Collins, and American Justin Gatlin, the 2004 Olympic gold medallist.

Running in the second of seven qualifying heats, Bledman battled from behind to finish third in 10.32 seconds, earning an automatic berth in the semis. Dix (10.25) and Briton Harry Aikines-Aryeetey (10.28) finished first and second, respectively.

" I had a slight stumble at the start," Bledman explained, "but I was patient and was able to recover."

The 2011 Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Senior Championship gold medallist told the Express he has a singular focus, here in Daegu.

"I don't care if Bolt's in the race. I came here to win! That's my goal."

In heat one, Thompson had a slow start. But he, too, recovered, copping third spot in 10.34 seconds. Collins clocked 10.13 to top the field, while Kimmons was second in 10.32.

"Kim Collins got a great start. At about 60 metres I realised he was far in front, so instead of using a lot energy to try to catch him, I just focused on my form, relaxed a little bit and qualified for the next round.
"I didn't have a great start," Thompson continued. "I hope to improve on that tomorrow (today)."

Of the sprinters competing in the Daegu century, Thompson has the fastest 2011 clocking—9.85 seconds.

"I wouldn't say I'm the one to beat. Yohan Blake has been having a great season, Nesta Carter, all of those guys. So I don't consider myself the favourite at all. Bolt, obviously, we know what he's capable of, so I'm just going in there, having fun, and I want to make the final. As long as I'm on the line, then anything is possible."

Bolt was the fastest man on show in round one. The reigning champion and world record holder strolled to victory in heat one in 10.10 seconds. Blake won heat four in 10.82. And Carter clocked 10.26 to top heat five.
Bolt was very satisfied with his first round effort.

" I've been working on my start all season. I've been lacking that, but I got it perfectly in this race. That's why it looked so easy."

T&T's third entrant in the men's 100m dash, Aaron Armstrong, bowed out in the first round. The US-born sprinter was sluggish out of the lane eight blocks, leaving himself with too much work to do to secure a top-three finish in heat seven and an automatic berth in the semis. Armstrong was fifth in 10.48 seconds, finishing well behind Frater, the winner in 10.26.

"I couldn't really hear the gun," Armstrong complained. "I didn't react. It's just a horrible race for me."

After press time, last night (T&T time), Kelly-Ann Baptiste, Semoy Hackett and Michelle-Lee Ahye ran in round one of the women's 100m, Renny Quow faced the starter in the first of five men's 400m first round heats, and Cleopatra Borel was in action in the qualifying round of the women's shot put.

Tonight (T&T time), Jehue Gordon competes in the opening round of the men's 400m hurdles.

Real weak hearts on dis forum yes !! RT for me !! Allyuh take the rest of the field if it go make allyuh feel better .

How many of you saw Richard at the stadium ? Well I was there and it left an indelible memory ...., The man is the fastest runner according to times in this event for this year ...he is in to the next round ...man still doubting ...

all ah dem fellas was big noise last  last olympics no ? ..and all yuh want to give pips to some newbies ...this is big games folks ...like all yuh eh pass thru we airport lately or what ...Is ah big photo of Richard it have dey ...let de jamaicans praise their hero ...I will praise mine ...Richard I eh know if yuh reading this but you have One unwavering supporter here ....,. get the gold bro ...get de gold !

 
make dat 3

Make it four

Maybe even more. Still don't like what I saw in the QF but STILL backing the Torpedo all the way.

I'll say this. In Beijing and Berlin Thompson was able to run or equal season bests in the hottest semi both times and still knock of a 0.04/0.05 in the final. This guy has proven he can run a blazing semi and recover to go even faster in the final.

I still emphasise the point that he must NOT make any mistakes in that semi. His championship history shows that he will not make any mistakes in that semi and will make the final...this time with 100m less mileage on his legs

Bledman is in trouble. Blake and Dix look like automatic qualifiers. He'll have to run flat out and hope for a nice tailwind. Daniel Bailey and even Chambers cannot be discounted. Bledman has a chance to make the final ONLY if he gets a better start.

Thompson's calibre says Bolt is the only man he should fear in his semi. However he has absolutely no margin for error whatsoever. Frater, Kimmons and Lemaitre are all real threats and quite frankly Lemaitre and Frater looked better in that QF than him. He cannot start and execute as sloppily as he did today and make that final

Semi-Three is quite a toss up after Carter. Let's hope they run into a -3.0 headwind.

Nevertheless RT and KB will be well advised that they MUST try for top two. Fastest losers is a total crapshoot with these swirling winds to mess up the times.

Thoughts after Day One:

I hate this new format for the 100m Rounds. The Preliminaries were a total waste! A Samoan running a PB of 15.66?! Worse yet there will now be three semis....top two and next two fastest time will make the final. These swirling winds will rob at least one person of a finals spot.

One of the three semis will have two Jamaicans in it. Let's hope neither Thompson nor Bledman are in THAT semi. Armstrong earned his opportunity and deserved it despite Marc's credentials. Too bad he squandered it. for a 10.0 man and Commonwealth Bronze Medallist to fail to make the semis even with it being expanded to 24 runners is disappointing

Didn't like our guys races one bit. Whether they were playing possum or not; finishing third most likely gives them hard semis. I guess if you're gonna be a medallist or even champion, finishing top two in your semi should be a non issue but right now those guys will have to run balls out to make that final.

Thompson looked like he could have beaten Kimmons but he SHOULD have and ensured a better lane and easier semi. Bledman looked genuinely beaten and that's not a good sign

Bolt looks utterly untouchable. A Jamaican 1-2-3 looks a real possibility but not a 1-2-3-4. If I were to go by the QF alone I'd say Bolt, Blake, Carter for the saucers...umm...excuse me.....medals based on what I saw. Dix looked quite good and is a real medal contender. Lemaitre looked solid as well. Frater should be a finalist

Not impressed by Gatlin at all. Collins looked good and the three round format helps the old man out but I think he may have shot his load. Makusha didn't look the darkhorse I foresaw.

Nothing I saw in that round suggest to me that anybody has a chance of beating Usain Bolt in that final. Hope the Torpedo and Bledman find something special in the semis tomorrow. Based on those QF they can't even look ahead to the final right now.

The Torpedo needs a semi like Berlin/Beijing to get back in the mix but still backing my guy

Roberts says NAAA in ‘blunder of blunders’
Wednesday, August 24 2011

SPORTS MINISTER Anil Roberts described the National Association of Athletics Administration (NAAA) not registering Jehue Gordon for the World Championships 400m hurdles event as “the blunder of all blunders,” and is awaiting a detailed report explaining what exactly happened.

In a media release on Monday, the NAAA said secretary Allan Baboolal took full blame for the faux pas but revealed several officials were negotiating with the IAAF to see if they could get him in as a late entry (see story at top of page).

The NAAA revealed yesterday morning that they were successful and the World Junior gold medallist will be competing.

Roberts has been very critical of a few sporting bodies in this country, recently, describing the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (TTFF) as disorganised and gave a failing grade to the local cricket body as well.

He, however, said this error on the part of the NAAA could eclipse all rivals. “The NAAA has been doing well before but this blunder may well take the cake,” he said.

“I am still in a state of shock not only as a Minister but as a coach. There is clear processes when making entries of this calibre.

“You have to double check and triple check everything. If all the processes are there I am at a loss for words as to how they could forget to enter our number one medal-hopeful. I am waiting with bated breath for them to come and explain what happened,” he declared. Roberts, although relieved that the NAAA finally got Gordon registered, is still skeptical and is expecting protests from a few countries.

“All the countries know he is a threat. There may be one or two protests in reinstating him. I want to know when the technical meeting is. I won’t be comfortable until the technical meeting is held,” he added.

Roberts, coach of 2004 Olympic bronze medallist George Bovell III, believes Gordon could have suffered great psychological damage if he was not able to compete.

“This is an elite athlete who gets money from TT. He is someone we use to market this country on the international stage. “Furthermore, the stress to an athlete to suddenly hear he is not registered to compete for an event he has been training two years for (is tremendous). It would have been a setback.

“This is the last major event before the Olympics (next year). It is the closest thing that mimics the Olympics. It allows you see if you’re able to handle the pressure of lining up for a final.

“Any person who has played sport know the hardest thing is seeing your event going on and not competing. “Maybe God is really a Trinidadian. I don’t think I can recall a blunder like this,” Roberts concluded.

Baptiste, Gordon, Borel among IAAF ‘those to watch list’
Published: Wed, 2011-08-24 08:42
Clayton Clarke
 

Trinidad and Tobago’s sprinting sensation Kelly Ann Baptiste, hurdler Jehue Gordon and shot puter Cleopatra Borel Brown are among several athletes who have been tipped to shine at the 13th IAAF World Outdoor Track and Field Championships which will get underway on Saturday in South Korea. Former national sprint queen Baptiste is among the headliners in the women’s 100m. In a preview of the event on the International Association of Athletic Federation Web site, Baptiste is one who could cause an upset. The Web site stated: “The 2003 World Youth bronze medallist is another from the richly talented Caribbean Islands who could throw a spanner in the works of the main contenders and could be a big player on the world stage. She could be a very serious threat to the sprint pack.”

The Plymouth resident enters the event as the fifth fastest on the world list following her 10.91 victory in Paris, France on July 8 when she defeated triple Olympic champion Veronica Campbell-Brown (Jamaica).
Ahead of her on the rankings are American Carmelita Jeter (10.70) and Marshevet Mayers (10.86) and Jamaicans Campbell-Brown (10.76) and Kerron Stewart (10.87). Baptiste beat Stewart at the Jamaican Invitational on May 7 and also in Paris. The 2010 Continental Cup winner also whipped reigning World and Olympic Champion Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce (Jamaica) in London on August 6. Baptiste’s only losses for the year have been to Jeter in Jamaica and London. Gordon created a stir at last World Championships in Berlin Germany two years ago when as a 17 year old he finished a remarkable fourth after coming into the home stretch in medal position. Since then he went on to take the 2010 World Junior title and has been featured by the BBC as one of the athletes to watch in next year’s Olympic Games London. He goes to Daegu with the ninth best time of all the entrants and according the IAAF prediction he is “rounding into good shape.”

Two time Commonwealth medallist Borel is seeking her first ‘Worlds’ Outdoor  women’s shot put finals and seems set to do so after she set a national outdoor mark of 19.42 in July. The seventh best throw of 2011 is rated as the best of the rest in this year’s world lists. The Mayaro athlete took the Central American and Caribbean Championships title in Puerto Rico in July and “will be relishing the prospect of performing on the global stage.” Though not listed in the men’s 100m after his national record of 9.85 earlier this month Richard Thompson will lead this country’s men’s 4x100m which has been noted as “are entitled to think they are in with a shout at a medal”. The local sprint team will be going for a fourth World Championships medal after silver lining success in 2001, 2005 and 2009.

Minister relieved as Jehue gets go ahead
Published: Wed, 2011-08-24 23:01
 

National 400 metres hurdler champion Jehue Gordon will take his place in the 400 metres hurdle at the IAAF World Championships in Daegu South Korea. In a release from the NAAA yesterday, team manager Dexter Voisin said the situation regarding Gordon’s entry has been resolved and he will compete. On Monday, it was reported that the NAAA had failed to register Gordon for the event. The NAAA said Gordon’s omission was an oversight for which secretary of the NAAA, Allan Baboolal, took full responsibility. Yesterday, NAAA president Ephraim Serrette, Olympic gold medalist Hasely Crawford, together with NACAC area representative Neville Mc Cook met with Jun Kim, director of the competition bureau for the IAAF World Championships, to discuss Gordon’s entry. The NAAA release did not say how the group resolved the situation. It simply stated:  Team manager of the Trinidad and Tobago team in Daegu, South Korea, Dexter Voisin said that the situation regarding Jehue Gordon entry in the 400m Hurdles event at the IAAF World Championships has been resolved and he will compete.

Sports Minister Anil Roberts who expressed disbelief at the NAAA’s failure to register Gordon on Monday, said yesterday he was relieved to learn that the young middle distance runner will take his place in the event. “I am relieved and happy to learn that Jehue will be in the event and I want to wish him, and all the other T&T athletes well during the meet. I am also awaiting a report as to how such a blunder could have taken place.” Gordon is expected to be the youngest finalist and competitor in the event. Two years ago, he was fourth in the finals in Berlin with a time of 48.26 seconds. He was 17 years and 276 days old. At the National Championships two weeks ago, Gordon cruised to victory and later revealed that he was anxiously looking forward to his experience in South Korea, where he was expecting to improve on his fourth placing at the last Games.

Let me congratulate the begging committee for saving us much anguish. Anyone knows who they were ?

CO-SIGNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Like we could real beg. We dotch a bullet

Trust me. Jehue's inclusion had absolutely NOTHING to do with the begging committee.

It had everything to do with the fact that Jehue is the IAAF World Junior Champion in the event and the IAAF wants their 'product'...their promising star to be showcased.
When Jehue succeeds at the Senior Level they will take the credit and make themselves look good. You'll hear him labelled "a product of the IAAF Youth System" as Darrel Brown was when he won the Silver in Paris 2003.

Many forget it was the likes of Boldon and Gabreselassie who first brought credibility to the World Juniors when they won World Titles at the Senior Level as well. Unlike our NAAA, the IAAF understand that it is the Athletes who sell their sport and make it successful.

The NAAA Begging Committee deserve no credit whatsoever for Jehue's inclusion and I'm sure they did not even have to beg very long or hard for the World's governing body to put their rising star in his rightful event.

NAAA blunder leaves Jehue out 400
Minister says it’s April Fools joke

T&T’s 400 metres hurdler Jehue Gordon has not been entered to take part in the event at the IAAF World Championships in Daegu, South Korea. A release from the NAAA yesterday said Gordon’s omission was an oversight for the Games which are scheduled to begin on Saturday. Secretary of the NAAA Allan Baboolal who is with the team in South Korea, described Gordon’s situation as an oversight and stated that he will take responsibility for the mistake. Up to late yesterday, NAAA president Ephraim Serrette, Olympic gold medalist Hasely Crawford, together with NACAC area representative Neville Mc Cook were meeting with the director of the competition bureau for the IAAF World Championships, Jun Kim, to discuss the possibility of  Gordon’s entry.

The NAAA release said they were  hopeful for a positive outcome. Contacted Sports Minister Anil Roberts said he could not believe what he was hearing. When the NAAA release was read to him, the Minister’s response was: “It has to be April 1st. This is an April Fools joke. That cannot be truth I cannot believe what you just read. It cannot be true.” Minister Roberts said there was a clear process for entries at international events and in particular at a World Championship: “The team coach and manager will fill out the entry form, double check it and then pass it on to the general council and then the secretary will forward it to the relevant body. Jehue was fourth at the last Championships at 17 years and was one of our main hopes for a gold medal in Daegu. I cannot understand or contemplate this catastrophe. How this happened is unbelieveable. I cannot fathom it.”

The Minister said he would be interested in the outcome and was looking forward to hearing from the NAAA as to how this materialised. Gordon was expected to be the youngest finalist and competitor in the event this year. Two years ago, he was fourth in the finals in Berlin with a time of 48.26 seconds. He was 17 years and 276 days. At the National Championships two weeks ago, Gordon cruised to victory and later revealed that he was anxiously looking forward to his experience in South Korea, where he was expecting to improve on his fourth placing at the last Games.

This is exactly why nobody and I mean NOBODY should EVER hate on Kerron Clement for the decision he made. Well at least I'll have somebody to back in the Men's 400m hurdles if the "begging delegation' doesn't get through.

Totally inexcusable!

Thompson home for National Champs
By Kwame Laurence kwame.laurence@trinidadexpress.com
Story Created: Aug 12, 2011 at 12:58 AM ECT
Story Updated: Aug 12, 2011 at 12:58 AM ECT

Richard "Torpedo" Thompson did not expect to be in Trinidad and Tobago this weekend.

The double Olympic silver medallist and his agent, American Emanuel Hudson, wrote a letter to the National Association of Athletics Administrations (NAAA), seeking permission to skip the Sagicor National Senior/Open Track and Field Championships. The request was denied, forcing Thompson to return home to compete for a place on the T&T team for the August 27-September 4 World Championships, in Daegu, Korea.

Thompson will be on show at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, in Port of Spain, tomorrow, opening day of the National Championships, bidding for a hat-trick of men's 100 metres titles.

"I'm ready for the weekend," Thompson told the Express, yesterday. "I'm not focusing on a time too much...just to get in there and qualify for the team. Sub-10 would be nice, but I'm not focusing on it."

Thompson said that following a conversation his father, Ruthven Thompson, had with NAAA president Ephraim Serrette, he was hopeful of being granted an exemption from the Championships.

Serrette, though, told the Express he gave no commitment and advised that a written request be forwarded to his organisation. The letter was submitted, but the executive committee of the NAAA turned down the request.
Six weeks ago, Thompson slammed the decision to stage the National Championships in mid-August, just two weeks ahead of Worlds. Nationals were originally scheduled for June 25 and 26, but had to be pushed back to August 13 and 14 because the laying of the new track at the Crawford Stadium had not been completed.

Thompson said the new local dates would put T&T athletes at a disadvantage at the global meet.

Hopeful that his consistency this season would have earned him an exemption, Thompson proceeded with his regular training schedule.

"When you look at my performance all year, I haven't run below ten, but I'm consistent at 10.0. Based on that, I felt I should have been exempted."

Thompson has bettered the 10.18 seconds World Championship "A" qualifying standard nine times in 2011. Five of those clockings were faster than 10.10: a season's best 10.01 at the Prefontaine Classic, in Oregon, USA; 10.09 and 10.05 at the Aviva Grand Prix in Birmingham, England; 10.06 in Lignano, Italy; and 10.09 at the Aviva London Grand Prix, last Friday.

Keston Bledman has also bettered 10.10 seconds five times this season: 10.09 in Ponce, Puerto Rico; a personal best 9.93 in Florida, USA; 10.09 in Reims, France; 10.09 at the Aviva Grand Prix in Birmingham, England; and 10.05 in winning gold at the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Senior Championships, in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.

"They (NAAA) replied with a letter," Thompson explained, "saying that it's very difficult to select the team based on performances during the year.

"No disrespect to the other athletes, but apart from Keston and me, no one else has been consistent with the "A" standard. Darrel has not achieved the "A" standard. (Rondel) Sorrillo has the "A" which he ran a couple months ago (May 14), but his last race was 10.37. And Aaron (Armstrong) has run 10.13.

"We have always had a Championship," the 26-year-old track star continued, "not trials, so to say it was mandatory to run is strange to me. Obviously, they don't care about athletes. They care about having a Senior Champs loaded with the best athletes. I think it's very inconsiderate to hold the Championships this weekend.
"It's not that I think I'm better than anyone and feel I don't have to come home. I was very prepared to come back home in June. That was in our plans...we set our schedule and tailored our programme. But we have to miss days of training to be here now. Everybody's getting thrown off. But I know God does everything for a reason. I'm still focused on the goal, which is two weeks away."

Steve Mullings Tests Positive
Published: Thursday | August 11, 20110 Comments

Steve Mullings
Leighton Levy, Gleaner Writer

The future of Jamaican sprinter Steve Mullings now hangs in the balance after revelations that he tested positive for a masking agent, two weeks before the start of the IAAF World Championships in Athletics in Daegu, South Korea. Mullings now faces a minimum ban of four years and could be removed from the sport for life.

It is understood that the results of a test carried out by the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission during the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA)/Supreme Ventures National Senior Championships, held between June 23 and 26 this year, showed the presence of the substance, which is meant to conceal the existence of banned substances or illegal drugs, such as anabolic steroids or stimulants.

Several efforts to contact the sprinter and his agent John Regis proved futile.

The news comes just over a week before the team departs for a one-week camp in Gyeonasan, South Korea. The team is also set to be named next week.

Mullings previously failed a drug test during qualification for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, after higher-than-normal levels of testosterone were found in his system.

As a result, he was slapped with a two-year ban and his results between the middle of 2004 and 2005 were wiped from the records.

Failing a reversal, this latest incident could effectively mean the end of his international career.

The athlete has reportedly been notified and will now have to face a disciplinary hearing, effectively ruling him out of the championships in Daegu, where he was seen as a strong medal contender in the 100m and 200m. Mullings was also expected to feature on Jamaica's 4x100m relay team.

President of the JAAA, Howard Aris, was unable to comment and said at press time that he had received no official notification.

Executive director of the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission, Dr Patrece Charles Freeman, also declined to comment on the matter.

In all doping cases, the athlete has the right to a hearing of their case before the relevant disciplinary body or tribunal. The athlete must confirm in writing, within 14 days of notification, that they would like a hearing, otherwise it is assumed that the athlete accepts that a violation has occurred.

The hearing before a tribunal must be held within two months from the date of notification to the athlete. The athlete has the right to legal counsel and to call witnesses. The decision of the tribunal will be sent to the world's governing body, the IAAF.

Reimpose suspension

If the IAAF does not agree with the sanction, the case will be reviewed by the IAAF Doping Review Board, which decides whether it appeals to the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS); if so, it may reimpose suspension. The athlete also has a right of appeal to CAS.

The news comes as another blow to Jamaican track and field after recent scandals, particularly shortly before the last IAAF World Championships held in Berlin, Germany, in 2009.

Back then, five athletes tested positive for a stimulant at the national championships. The athletes were served with three-month suspensions and allowed to resume their careers.

Last year, World and Olympic 100-metre champion Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce tested positive for the painkiller Oxycodone and was subsequently banned for six months. Her ban ended in January this year.

What about Track & Field / Jamaican sprinter positive...I'm 'Mulling' who it could be!

KINGSTON - A Jamaican athlete, with less than three weeks to go before the 13th IAAF World Championships in Daegu, South Korea, has tested positive, this according to information reaching trackalerts.com.

A well-placed source told trackalerts.com that the test on the athlete was carried out at the Jamaican trials, held June 23-26.
 
It was also said that the athlete was only informed about the result on Monday. The athlete in question has competed since trials.

Patricia Charles-Freeman, executive director of JADCO, the body which was responsible for carrying out the drug testing locally, could not be reached for a comment while the JAAA doesn’t comment on drug issues.

At the 2009 trials, five Jamaicans, Yohan Blake, Allodin Fothergill, Sheri-Ann Brooks, Marvin Anderson and Lanceford Spence tested positive before the Berlin World Championships. They received three-month bans.

Also in 2009, Chris Williams returned positive findings and is currently serving a 2-year ban.

Also, in 2010, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce returned a positive test for the non-performance enhancing drug oxycodone, at the Shanghai Diamond League meeting on May 23.

Julien Dunkley, Steve Mullings, Bobby-Gaye Wilkins and Patrick Jarrett are some of the other Jamaicans to received drug bans in the past.





Jamaican sprinter tests positive

Leighton Levy, Gleaner Writer

An emerging sprinter that was expected to represent Jamaica at the IAAF World Championships in Athletics, Daegu, South Korea in three weeks, has reportedly returned an adverse analytical finding.

The result, which revealed a masking agent was derived from a drug test administered at the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association/Supreme Ventures National Senior Championships, held between June 23 and 26 this year.

In sports, a masking agent is used to hide or prevent detection of a banned substance or illegal drug such as anabolic steroids or stimulants.

The news comes just over a week before the team departs for a one-week camp in Gyeonasan, South Korea. The team is also set to be named next week.

Word is that the United States-based athlete, who returned this latest adverse finding was failing a test for the second time which could effectively mean the end of his international career considering that, if found to be culpable, it could lead to a four year suspension.

The athlete has reportedly been notified and will now have to face a disciplinary hearing effectively ruling him out of the championships where he was a medal contender in two events.

No exemptions for Thompson, Quow
By Kwame Laurence kwame.laurence@trinidadexpress.com
Story Created: Aug 10, 2011 ECT
Story Updated: Aug 10, 2011 at 2:32 AM ECT

Kelly-Ann Baptiste and Cleopatra Borel have been granted exemptions and will skip this weekend's Sagicor National Senior/Open Track and Field Championships, at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, in Port of Spain.

Baptiste has been in fine form this season. The Plymouth, Tobago sprinter is fifth on the 2011 International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) women's 100 metres performance list, at 10.91 seconds, and has enjoyed victories over reigning Olympic sprint champions Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Veronica Campbell-Brown, both of Jamaica.

Borel is seventh on the 2011 IAAF women's shot put performance list, at 19.42 metres. She has thrown 19 metres or better in four of her ten outings this season.

But while Baptiste and Borel received favourable responses to their exemption requests from the National Association of Athletics Administrations (NAAA), Olympic 100m silver medallist Richard Thompson and World Championship 400m bronze medallist Renny Quow have been blanked.

NAAA president Ephraim Serrette told the Express yesterday that Thompson's application for an exemption was denied because there are six athletes who have attained World Championship qualifying standards in the men's 100m, and only three spots are available on the team.

Keston Bledman heads the list with a 9.93 seconds dash. Thompson (10.01), Aaron Armstrong (10.13) and Rondel Sorrillo (10.18) have also achieved the 10.18 seconds "A" standard, while the 10.25 "B" standard has been attained by Emmanuel Callender (10.19) and Darrel Brown (10.22).

While Quow is Trinidad and Tobago's fastest 400m runner this year, at 45.43 seconds, and qualifies for the World Championships by virtue of being the 2011 Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Senior Championship men's 400m gold medallist, the 23-year-old quarter-miler has not achieved the 45.25 seconds "A" standard in 2011.

"The executive met," Serrette explained, "and decided not to grant exemptions to Thompson and Quow. Because of the large number of qualifiers in the 100, the head-to-head meeting at the Championships will be used to decide on the three."

"I would have loved to compete", she said, "but I am tired and need some rest. In addition, there is some business I have to attend to before Worlds."  ...............well I tell you !
When the government giving away my money next year  want ah say in dat yes !
Is trinidad & tobago ...you build up de fans then last minute major players kyah make it ... an injured runner getting exempt as well ?? if you eh fit for this week you eh go be fit for no world games ...you was staying home !
I wonder if these athletes realise that the fans can make or break them ?? if yuh get boo dong next time yuh come home doh vex !

Let me see how de Minister go handle this since he said money is conditional on running at the national championships

Fans can't make or break athletes anymore than their OWN N.S.O. can. And the NAAA forced the athletes to MAKE this drastic decision to prevent them from BREAKing our athletes! This is no surprise whatsoever to people in the loop like me. The athletes have colluded to protest the DOTISH decision of the NAAA to keep this meet this weekend. Plain talk, Bad Manners!

The same so-called fans will boo the same athletes when they flop in Daegu because Trials two weeks before Worlds messed up their training programme. Anybody who ever heard the words "periodization" and “peaking” would understand why this decision is the most idiotic one ever taken in the history of local athletics.

Don't be fooled by Cleo's admittedly lame excuse about being tired and having other things to do. The athletes have decided once and for all to show these incompetent, indolent, impotent officials that Ephraim Serrette and Alan Baboolal are not nearly as important to the National public as our athletes are.

Let's see these trip happy officials drop our pride and joy from the National Team for missing Trials if they think the public is on their side so much. Let them keep Kelly-Ann Baptiste off this team after the season she has had. I DARE THEM!

As for the Minister of Spalk, he would be well reminded that his statement about athletes having to compete at Trials to get funding came at the Media Launch for these said Championships; the same media launch where his Perm Sec promised the Track would be ready in time for the end of June. How did that turn out?!

Anil would be well advised not to write cheques with his mouth that his Ministry can’t cash. Because the fact is our Elite Athletes are yet to receive their funding for this year. So he can’t play wrong and strong on two fronts. It is not the athletes’ fault that the Ministry waited until Machel got the so-called fans to ADVANTAGE the track before trying to relay it in the rainy season. And he ought not to buss up his beak about withholding funding when his Ministry has NO MONEY to even run a Sports Camp or a Swim Meet!

But if you don’t want to take my word for it then think about this. Will the Perm Sec Mr. Ashwin Creed allow the NAAA to drop his prize discovery Richard Thompson? Will he allow the Ministry or SPORTT to withhold funding from his Rebirth protégé? I think not and if I’m right then they have to send all of them to Daegu because what’s good for one is good for all!

Baptiste, Quow, Borel & Lucas pull out of T&T's trials
Tuesday, 09 August 2011 15:26 BY CLAYTON CLARKE, claytonrclarke@yahoo.com

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - T&T's inform sprinter Kelly Ann Baptiste, has pulled out of this weekend's T&T Sagicor National Athletic Championships.

Baptiste is among four top-notched athletes, who it has been reported, will not be participating in the two day meet, which will serve as Trinidad and Tobago's National trials for the World Championships in Daegu, South Korea later this month, from August 27 to September 4.

The 24 year old Baptiste, who on Saturday last finished second in the Samsung Diamond League Aviva Grand Prix in Crystal Palace, London, has asked to be exempted from the meet - along with 2009 World Championships men's 400m bronze medalist Renny Quow.

Fellow World Championships bronze medalist Josanne Lucas - who has not competed since sustaining an injury at the Central American and Caribbean Championships in Puerto Rico last month, is likely to also miss the meet.

Shot Putter Cleopatra Borel is the latest withdrawal. The two time Commonwealth medalist told Trackalerts.com on Tuesday, that she has opted not to participate, choosing instead to rest after her fifth place outing in London and head off to Daegu next week.

"I would have loved to compete", she said, "but I am tired and need some rest. In addition, there is some business I have to attend to before Worlds."

Double Olympic silver medalist Richard Thompson has not yet confirmed his participation. A source close to Thompson directed Trackalerts to Thompson's manager Emmanuel Callender, who said, "At this moment we are not sure if he is participating, we've tried unsuccessfully to contact him up to last (Monday) night.".

Keston Bledman also has not confirmed whether he will run. The 2005 World Youth bronze medalist is expected to clash with Thompson in the men's 100m, in a rematch of last year's finals, where Thompson took his second straight National 100m crown.

Meanwhile Emmanuel Callender has confirmed his participation and Marc Burns is expected to arrive in T&T on Tuesday.

When contacted, the president of T&T's NAAA, directed Trackalerts to Secretary Allan Baboolal, chairman of the Games committee.

Efforts to reach Baboolal were unsuccessful.

How is Quow going to qualify? He does not have an A standard as yet?

Quow has qualified already as this year's CAC Champion. All Area Champions qualify automatically for Worlds even if they haven't made the A standard

No athlete, not even DB is immune to the sick love/hate relationship Trinis have with national athletes, in any sport. This very forum is testament to that.

Trinis live in a post-colonial society where a child is "to be seen and not heard" and as an adult "if you are not up to mark you will be ridiculed into being so (ie shame you into excelling)".

Simply put both philosophies are regressive. Children are not encouraged to express themselves vocally at home or in school so it is no wonder the local sporting public identifies and associates more with DB than AB or RT. He is soft-spoken, and by no means a card carrying member of Toastmasters International. RT and AB on the other hand express themselves confidently and even come off as brash by T&T standards, but their personalities naturally fall more in the norm with athletes in the US, the environment where they grew into adults and perfected their craft.

So when their performance dips the misguided pleasure on the part of T&T spectators in seeing them falter comes from a misunderstood dislike for their personalities that are foreign and an affront to what was drummed into them all their young and adult lives.

Spectators seem to have this puppet/master relationship with their sport icons, ordering up sub-10 100m performances before meets as if it is as easy as ordering doubles at the local street corner. They are not attuned to or educated to the amount of hard work that goes into attaining such levels even once. In addition they expect that once a sprinter has gone there he should be able to repeat at that level week in, week out, not understanding that minor injuries, fatigue, phase of training regimen, coaching orders during fine tuning, and other factors come into play.

So well, when the athlete does not perform to their expectations, like a non-operational GI Joe doll, they pitch it, kick it, and cuss it, as if that would make it work better. It is interesting that they assume some level of OWNERSHIP over sporting heroes as if living vicariously through their performances would make or break their weekend and week ahead.

What would help is if the media through informed sports journalism (which is an oxymoron in T&T) educates sports fans to these nuances so that (i) they can better measure their expectations during various phases of the season, and (ii) they can be encouraged to be more supportive of the athletes during their ups and downs.

The athletes themselves also need to understand that balance between over expression of confidence and humility in sustaining local support. What they do is an art form and like most great artists who perfect their craft for their pleasure and that of their fans, end up reaping the benefits of adulation, compensation, national acclaim/awards, etc. But these monies and grants come from taxpayers' contributions, which maybe explains the sense of ownership by spectators.

So the solution might be a 3-way street: (i) an intelligent and informative sports media, (ii) recognition of privilege and humility on the part of athletes, and (iii) educated and thus more patient and nurturing patrons.

Trinis turning they backs on AB and RT. Not this Trini!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AB and RT have nothing to prove to me or TT. We lucky Ato decided to run for we and not US or JA. Thanks for the medals AB. You took us out of that long guava season(those ungrateful wagonists). And RT have a couple years to win the GOLD. If he doh win!!! So what!!!!!!! As for DB. Go brave. Perseverance is a sign of toughness. God Bless!!!!

Just because people acknowledging that Brown still have support you come up with men turning they back on Ato and RT ... where you get that from?  Amazingly retarded!!!

But on a serious note , The support DB gets , He has to be in fact the most loved Trinidad sprinter ever. Even though he has not produced those times so far , he seems to get the backing of the supporters , Look how quickly Trinidadians turn their backs on A.B and also R.T event though they won Olympics medal. I must say the type of support he get is amazing, especially seeing that most Trinidadians supportes are fair weather supporters.

THAT'S where he got it from. Check Jusbless post above

NAAA still waiting on funds from SportsTT to host National Championships
Friday, 05 August 2011 09:44
By Clayton Clarke, tobtrackmed@gmail.com   

 
TRINIDAD - The National Association of Athletics Associations (NAAA) has reported that it is yet to receive the promised funding from the Sports Company from Trinidad and Tobago for the Sagicor Open Track and Field Championships which have been re-scheduled to August 13 to 14.

NAAA Secretary Allan Baboolal said the monies are expected to come soon. “We have already received the $150,000 from Sagicor and we are waiting for some funding from the Sports Company and it should be available by the end of the week."

Baboolal said the monies to be received will also  cover the cost of the sending the country’s World Championships contingent. “We are awaiting a cheque from the Government part of which will go to the championships. The majority will be used to purchase most of the airline tickets which are estimated to cost between $400,000 and $500,000."

The meet was originally set for June 24 to 26 but was postponed because of the delay in the laying of the new track at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.

The men’s 100m will again hold the spotlight and Baboolal said with current form of the country’s top sprinters the hunt for places will be fierce.

“Because of the recent form of performances of our 100m athletes (Keston Bledman, Richard Thompson, Aaron Armstrong, Emmanuel Callender and Darryl Brown) it is very difficult to determine who are the top three that will represent Trinidad and Tobago (at the World Championships in Daegu, South Korea from August 27 and September 4) in the individual event and the six would make up the relay team. Therefore we are asking all the athletes to participate."

Baboolal said there has been added interest by foreign athletes to participate as the meet is the last opportunity for those seeking to attain the qualifying standards for the World Champs.

“There seem to be a rush for athletes looking for the last window of opportunity”.

Baboolal confirmed that eight countries have submitted entries. “We have a request from the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, St. Kitts/Nevis, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Zimbabwe, USA, Cayman Islands and Jamaica.” The NAAA secretary added that he is hoping that the foreign competitors would draw spectators to the Hasely Crawford Stadium.

“With the visiting athletes the meet may not lack-luster as we anticipate.”

Baboolal explained that NAAA is looking to select a team of about 25 athletes and the selection committee will meet on the night immediately following the end of the championships to select the team ahead of the August 15 deadline issued by the International Association of Athletic Federation (IAAF) for countries to submit team. “It is going to be a long evening because we have to send in our entries the next morning as Monaco is six hours ahead of Trinidad and Tobago. We have up to about 6pm to do so (12 midnight in Monaco).”

He also indicated that with the National Championships coming just less than two weeks before the World Championships the NAAA will be hard pressed to get bookings to South Korea.

“We would have to be scrambling for (airline) tickets following the selection of the team as the contingent is expect to fly out to Daegu between the 16th and the 18th so we will have just about two days to organise all the travel arrangements.”

« on: July 27, 2011, 10:49:09 PM »

Well to start off with the women, this is our strongest team ever. A combination of Kai, Michelle, Semoy and kelly-Ann could destroy our current NR. Have never seen Michelle run a corner, but how she finished her recent races at Pan am Juniors says she would be a killer on the straight.

Here are some combinations i think that could work, but please feel free to add your opinions

Team 1- Hackett-Michelle-Kai-KAB

Team 2- Kai-Hackett-KAB-Michelle

IMO both line-ups maximise the respective strengths of all the runners. From everything I have seen, Kai seems to be good on the curve, but very average on the straight and the opposite or Michelle. That leaves us a bit handicapped with how we can shuffle our pieces.


On the men's side, It looks like Marc's almost decade long tenure of service to the 4x1 team is coming to an end. However I am not of the belief that his exclusion from the team will be a negative. This opens the door for us to use our 2 200 runners in positions to maximize their talents.

The team I propose will be Sorrillo-Bledman-Callendar-Thompson

Sorrillo is slower than Bledman in the flat 100m, but his curve running is superior. One only has to look at his 200m races this season, to see that he is alsways up there until about 130m, which is just fine for relay purposes. Bledman is as fast this year, as Burns has ever been, so there will be no let down in momentum. Callendar is having a very rough year, but his first 120m has not fallen off much, and is still way better than any curve that Armstrong could muster. Timewise, I anticipate RT to be in the high 9.8 to low 9.9 region, so he will be ready to do  his thing.

Discuss!!!!!

I agree with your Men's team 100% although I may replace Callendar with Armstrong depending on Senior Champs Results. Brown and Burns have to show something special at Senior Champs to get on this team

For the ladies I'll go with KS, KAB, SH, MLA at this time. Baptiste is by far the team's fastest runner so I want her on the longest leg (2nd) and I want my two most experienced runners (Baptiste and Hackett) playing a part in two exchanges. Selvon and Lee-Ahye have no Senior Global experience whatsoever and are a step below KAB and SH so I only want them involved in one exchange in their debut Worlds. I put them on their respective legs based on Selvon's curve prowess and Lee-Ahye's straight which you alluded to.

However if I was to go with one of your teams I'd go with team two. Much more comfortable with that one than the other
