Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee Officials are not happy at the disdain some athletes are showing towards the Central and American and Caribbean Games.
According to the TTOC some athletes have been less than forthright in their reasons for not attending the CAC Games.
The TTOC provided assistance to prepare for the CAC games in addition to working with the Ministry of Sport and the International Olympic Committee(IOC)to ensure that deserving athletes receive much needed financial support in the lead up to the Beijing Olympics.
The local Olympic Committee is cautioning that athletes who decline to participate at next years Pan Am Games will not be considered for selection for the Beijing Olympics.
National Olympic Committees have the exclusive powers for the representation of their respective countries at the Olympic Games and at regional,continental or world multi sport competitions patronized by the IOC.
