The following press release sure puts a totally different perspective on things! Seems like posters such as Don1 and Mosiah were definitely on the right track when they posted their thought-provoking questions (Don1) and comments (Mosiah) yesterday! The press release below has been copied from today's Jamaica Observer (sports section):
MVP head coach, Stephen Francis, believed his athletes were taken out of his custody to work with unfamiliar coaches and claimed he had no input in their training.
However, a release from the Jamaica Olympic Association Tuesday evening stated otherwise.
"There is absolutely no truth to the allegations that Mr Stephen Francis will not be able to coach the athletes at the Olympics under his care, unless he has taken that decision not to coach his own athletes," the release said.
"Mr Stephen Francis had long indicated to the Jamaica Amateur Athletic Association (past and present) that he does not wish to be a part of the National Team's coaching staff."
The statement also said that Francis was among three coaches who were accredited personally to coach their athletes in Beijing.
"He was accredited as a personal coach for the athletes under his care for the Olympic Games, as was the case in all major championships including the World Championships in 2005 & 2007," the release added.

Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter. It gets even worse if they win the UCL. *groan*.
