Shericka Jackson’s coach Stephen Francis has blamed the unprofessionalism of coach Jose Boesch aka coach Gil and coach David Riley for costing the men’s 4x400m relay team a slot to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Francis explained that coach Gil left Riley to handle everything concerning the team, a move that would lead to a disastrous end to the relay team’s campaign to the Olympic Games.

The veteran tactician explained that it was a move he knew was not going to work and noted that expecting the athletes who ran the 400m at the Jamaican Olympic trials to run the relay was an injustice and they would certainly not post faster times.

Francis had advised coach Mil to look for a race in Europe, noting that no meet organisers would decline the plea to have a relay run and help the Jamaican team qualify for the Olympic Games.
