We need Julien Alfred to be representing Saint Lucia at most of the global events, and that is what they will endeavour to do: put the best athletes out representing the country. That is their mandate.

I’m very wary of stepping in as a minister and, for lack of a better way of phrasing it, forcing an athlete to participate at an event that the entire technical team around her has advised her not to participate.
You have to understand the Olympic Committee’s mandate. It is to actually put out Saint Lucia’s best athletes to the rest of the world. So, their position is not incorrect.
So hats off to Saint Lucia for their crowd support. There really is a buzz surrounding sports development in this nation, and it is a testament to what we are seeing in our crowds so far.
