President of MVP Track Club Bruce James said his club would not support the 2010 Commonwealth Games to be held in New Delhi, India.
It means that athletes such as Olympic and World Champion 100-metre gold medallist Shelly-Ann Fraser, Olympic and World Champion 400-metre hurdles gold medallist Melaine Walker and former 100-metre world record holder Asafa Powell will not compete.
The Commonwealth Games are set for October 3 to 14 of next year and James said the scheduling is too close to the 2011 World Championship.
There are uncertainties surrounding the participation of the world’s fastest man Usain Bolt.
Coach Glen Mills also has a problem with the October staging of the Commonwealth Games.
