These statements are not true ! The NAAA and them always wanted him even at youth level.He was leaning towards Trinidad.It was his college coach who convince him to represent USA.

actually, i believe storeboy is telling the truth, and i have heard the same from many internal sources who were involved and are still involved as athletes on the t&t track scene... as a matter of fact, ask anyone who was 'inside' t&t track during Clement's high school-early UF years, and theyll tell you-  they quite simply ignored him and it came back to bite them in the ass. the sad thing is, im sure that there are plenty more people out there who they treated just as badly, who could have been or have went on to be successful on the track or on the athletic fields in one way or another.

After winning one of the heats he was asked about the pressure of running in his first Olympics and (doh ask me the context but) he mentioned Trinidad... so is not like the yute doh know whey he come from.  Everybody who judging him have to remember that he move to Texas when he was 13, so is not like his ties to this country are superficial. 

I doh have to defend him, but nobody but him and his family know and understand the reasons why he chose to run for the US and people just being presumptive in passing judgment on him for what is a personal decision.

THE NCAA is de reason why he chose USA over T&T!

No support given by the NCAA's to athletes, is ah wonder de man even thought about T&T.

Not at all meh boy! 

I guess the only way to know would be to interview de man and hear he thoughts, I mehself doh know wha happen wid him personally and professionally that lead to his eventual decision, but hopefully he finds his way and mental peace (assuming he doesn't have it at this pt)....

Not to be lost in all of this is the issue of money.. ask Ato if he would have made more money running as an American rather than for Trinidad and I'm sure he'd say running for the US.  We doh want to hear dem kinda talk (and frankly I don't know if that was a factor) but at the end of the national pride counts for a lot, but so too does pragmatism.

Trinity Cross and ketch ass de rest ah yuh life cyah compare to an opportunity to set yuhself and possibly yuh family up fuh life while that very small athletic window is still open.  I never walk one day in de man shoes... far from me to criticise him.
