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.

Education must develop the whole child.

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.
