"Honestly guys, if the support system don’t change, my kids not running for Jamaica. Sorry to say that, it’s just facts, you know what I mean? My wife is Canadian and Ghanaian so there are options,” said Mr Asafa Powell

Not surprisingly, Mr Powell, the biggest name in Jamaican male sprinting before Mr Usain Bolt snatched the title of world’s fastest man from him, has found himself in the midst of a raging controversy, now gone abroad, over his recent comments.

We all want the best for our kids but they should have a say, no?

How does he know that if his kids are even interested in the sport they'll be any good? I'm sure Hemraj coached Tage more than he coached Shiv. That part was totally uncalled for. 'Safa made his money in sponsor colors and via MVP. We thank him for helping to secure at least one WR. But, he and all of us should note any record with him in the quartet was eclipsed by a quartet without him.
