Lincoln Pirate i am a Jamaican and i can personally tell you that you are wrong. Speaking from experience it has to do with money. The Jamaican athletes that are winning the medals are those that have multi million dollar sponsorships and endorsements. Veronica Campbell Brown is a citizen of the USA and she trains in USA. So she has access to first class facilities and she has a multi million dollar sponsorship out of the USA. The Younger generation of athletes in Jamaica that can make a difference don't stand a chance if they don't have the financial backing to go through training and get the necessary treatment if injured etc. Sanya Richards-Ross was born in Jamaica but was scouted from high school and given USA citizenship for herself and family and her education and sponsorship deals was in the millions. So when you look at it in this perspective it all has to do with MONEY.
