The present DOC and the DAAA is a waste of time. There is so much funds available to developing countries from the IOC and the IAAF, but theses guys are not doing anything to or running any programs to capitalize on the available funding to assist our local athletes. All they do is travel and pocket money when they are paid for their votes by countries wanting to host World Championships and Olympic Games. The same set of fellas running athletics. All the other caribbean countries are improving, but with some of the most talent in the region, Dominica athletics remain in a state of disgrace.
One Love Dominicans!!!!
So where are the locally based athletes , no one qualified ? What is the DOC doing to develop local athletes ?
