This is a view found to be widely held by the athletics community.

It will be something special and, obviously, having the fastest man in the world compete is a huge coup.

We have six people who are trying to get into that relay and, if the girls don't toe the line, I am sure the coaches will have something to say. They want a cohesive team out there on the track.

I've spoken to both girls and they agreed it was not painting the sport in the right light.

Certainly Greg still has a chance of competing in Melbourne and that's why selectors have the discretionary power in situations like this.

It makes a difference with the kids because alcohol is a big problem in this community.
