VCB's coach was in prison for two years and she still won gold medals and competed at a very high standard.
As well as Tyson Gay who had the same coach.
Lance wrote the programs and the athletes worked with assistants or in VCB's case, her husband Omar oversaw her work outs.
Obviously while it does take a lot of top quality work to put it together, any smart athlete can do it on their own, once they know what to do.

well there is the issue of where a professional coach has athletes in rival camps...

Was there a Beijing camp? If there was... did it negatively impact in a clear way... Jamaica's performance?

MVP STARS OUT!
Training camp snub disqualifies athletes
By HG HELPS Editor-at-Large
Monday, August 10, 2009
It appears unlikely that some of Jamaica's top athletes will represent the island at the World Championships in Athletics, which starts this weekend in the historic German city of Berlin.
Four of the big names, Olympic 100 metres champion Shelly-Ann Fraser, former world 100 metres record-holder Asafa Powell, 400 metres runner Sherika Williams and sprint hurdler Brigitte Foster Hylton, all members of the Maximising Velocity Power (MVP) Track Club have not shown up at the mandatory pre-World Championships training camp in Nuremberg, Germany, making them ineligible to compete at the championships.
Asafa Powell and Shelly-Ann Fraser
Reports have been surfacing - even more so since Williams posted a message on her social network website, Facebook, stating that: "Oh, well, the JAAA say we can't run at World Championships, because we did not attend the training camp," - that the four were automatically axed from the squad.
Inside athletics sources told the Observer late last night that the International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF) to which the JAAA reports, had insisted that all athletes selected should attend the camp for, among other things, providing urine and blood samples for drug testing.
"It is the same foolishness some of these athletes did in China last year when they said they did not know what was taking place," an athletics source told the Observer.
President of the JAAA Howard Aris, who is due to leave for Berlin today, said that he was not aware that the Jamaica team's management in Germany had taken the decision to clean house.

"I have not been informed of this," Aris said. "The IAAF had contacted the JAAA seeking information on whether or not we were going to have a camp, where the camp would be, where the team would be staying etc.
"I wrote to (athletes agent) Paul Doyle telling him what the IAAF wanted to do. When we (the JAAA) called to find out where the athletes were going to be staying, we were told that they would be going straight to Berlin. I told Doyle that the camp was mandatory, and if they don't go to the camp, they could not compete," Aris said.
Doyle, who is the agent for Powell, Williams and Foster Hylton, had told the Observer on Friday that he did not know that the camp was a requirement.
He said that the athletes would not be attending the six-day camp, which started last Thursday.
"The JAAA has never once sent a message to me that the camp was mandatory. Only the media has been telling me that it's mandatory." Doyle said.
There was controversy associated with Jamaica's participation at last year's Olympic Games in Beijing, China, when athletes from the MVP club arrived late for a pre-Olympic training camp in Tianjin, China, exposing more of the bad blood that has existed between members of the MVP executive and the JAAA.
Last night, second vice-president of the JAAA Dr Warren Blake joined his president in underlining the importance of attending the camp.
"It was not a secret that if they don't turn up at the camp, they would automatically be disqualified," Blake said.
It was not clear about the status of another MVP athlete, Olympic champion hurdler Melaine Walker, who had also not attended the camp up to yesterday.
President of the MVP club Bruce James could not be reached for a comment at press time.
Why could n't MVP and the JAAA sort out the issues in private before the camp? Looks like both parties needs adult supervison.The same type of thinking that created a problem cannot be used to solve the problem.Comment

Phew....thanks boss, I did not want to jump on this but some one had to...a drowning man cluthing at straws to rhatid and we wonder about this man's credibility when he has to resort to lies and making ridiculous statements to support indiscipline.
By the way I just received an email from Claude Bryan, VCB's manager and he says they were told to be in camp on August 6th and thats when they got there and so talk of her arriving late to camp are not true..Solidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.

No,
I merely pointed out they could have been even better.
True or not?

it all comes back to my original premise... franno and mills (rival) being the head coach...
i just don't think franno is doing a good job of articulating his reasons for keeping his athletes from the 'mandatory' camp...
his approach is to cry sabotage, which is like crying wolf...'to get what we've never had, we MUST do what we've never done'Comment
