BAS­SETERRE–There is no place for for­mer World 100 me­tres cham­pi­on Kim Collins in the St Kitts and Nevis team for the 14th IAAF World Cham­pi­onships in Ath­let­ics in Moscow next month.

The St Kitts & Nevis Am­a­teur Ath­let­ic As­so­ci­a­tion (SKNAAA) an­nounced a team of six ath­letes and two of­fi­cials for the Cham­pi­onships, sched­uled for Au­gust 10-18, and Collins is not among the ath­letes cho­sen to rep­re­sent the Fed­er­a­tion.

The all-male team will in­clude An­toine Adams (100m, 200m, 4x100m Re­lay); Ja­son Rogers (100m, 4x100m Re­lay); Le­strod Roland (200m, 4x100m Re­lay); Bri­jesh Lawrence (4x100m Re­lay); Al­lis­tar Clarke (4x100m Re­lay) and Del­wayne De­laney (4x100m Re­lay).

"I am very pleased with the se­lec­tions made," said SKNAAA Pres­i­dent, Glenville Jef­fers. "It is a good mix of ex­pe­ri­ence and young tal­ent and the chem­istry be­tween them is great which is vi­tal in meets like the up­com­ing World Cham­pi­onships. We are ex­pect­ing out­stand­ing per­for­mances in the sprints."

De­spite clock­ing the 11th fastest time of the year (9.97) and a na­tion­al record, Collins and the au­thor­i­ties in St Kitts are still feud­ing fol­low­ing the with­draw­al of his ac­cred­i­ta­tion at the 2012 Lon­don Olympic Games.

Collins, the fifth fastest Caribbean ath­lete so far this year, has not rep­re­sent­ed St Kitts & Nevis at the na­tion­al since his with­draw­al from the Games.
