So, was she at the meet, or was she at home? Did she have a fever, or didn't she have a fever? Is that picture of her hugging a kid supposed to be around the same time as the meet? If so, and she did have a fever, why TF is she hugging a kid?
The problem is it's all cry wolf with Kersee. His past actions & lies mean we just don't trust him. He has pulled Sydney out of meets last minute for seemingly valid and invalid reasons. Thus, we never know when he is telling the truth. As much as Sydney could be ill, and they withdrew her as a precaution, it could also easily be that Kersee was disappointed with her Pre run and decided more training, not another race, is what she needs. If they are serious about her running the flat 400m, he might want to fix certain things. Or it could be they've decided the 400m flat is just too risky & she isn't showing the form they'd hoped, so it's back to the hurdles. In which case, ditch the flat race and get some technical training in. She may have beaten Butler at Pre, but the NCCA winner just went on to improve to a fantastic 49.09. Bol has just set a WL. With the USA's in less than 3 weeks they are hastily making a decision as to which event/s she runs.
