KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – Olympic 100-metre champion Shelly-Ann Fraser and former world record holder Asafa Powell are set to be axed from Jamaica’s World Championship team for failure to attend a mandatory pre-meet training camp.

Fraser, Powell and other members of the high-profile MVP Track Club have not arrived in Nuremberg for the camp and according to the Jamaica Amateur Athletic Association (JAAA) guidelines, the absence from the camp makes them ineligible for the IAAF event starting this weekend in Berlin.

Olympic 400-metre hurdles champion Melaine Walker, is also reported to be missing from the camp.

Other MVP athletes, Shericka Williams, the 400-metre silver medallist in Beijing last summer and world-rated sprint hurdler Brigitte Foster-Hylton, are also caught up in the controversy for failure to arrive for the camp.

JAAA President Howard Aris is yet to confirm to the media whether the athletes have been cut from the squad.
