I thought it was about fielding the best team possible for the Bahamas.. I can understand if he snubbed the nationals completely, but he did attend and ran in the 200m. Due to the timeframe of the 200/400 it would have a tremendous strain to attempt to both. From the iaaf.org listings for 2015 only he and Gardiner have gone under 45.00 this year. Gardiner is currently in third place overall and Brown 13th, the next is Mathieu at 22nd. I thought Nationals were supposed to ensure that athletes are still in shape. has he not proven that he is?? If we have two potential athletes who consistently run under 45 this year should they not be included? Will he be excluded from the 4 x 400 as well to reduce the possibility of medals there as well. Something is just not right with this picture. He has earned the right to compete and definitely shown that he is in shape and capable of medalling. **Come on BAAA. Leave the egos out of this and do what is best for the Bahamas.**
