This goes to an area of discussion we won’t get into here, other than to say that every athlete must provide their whereabouts at all times to the IAAF and a camp is not needed for that purpose BUT it also goes into the taper discussion and what should be done.
NEVER should athletes be forced to leave their coach one day earlier than required.
NEVER should an athlete’s training be changed by another coach right before a major competition.
NEVER should relay sessions be left to the end and then athletes are sacrificed from their individual event by coaches who have never worked with them and know nothing about their training. Injuries are the inevitable result for some- just ask Fasuba and Pognon!!
The point of a training camp is to have optimal conditions in advance of the games and to ensure that jet-lag is avoided.
MVP already have a European staging area close by.
This is a power struggle and blame shifting tactic by JAAA, nothing else.
