Banned coach hired by local junior college

bump

You know what the great thing is? All of Kemarley Browns performances are on YouTube. If you had any technical knowledge instead of simply being a gossip queen, you would be able to see the improvements over his two years in California. Not that he was too shabby before coming to the US. You can research it but below is some background info. He ran with some greats in his home country and posted a 20.92 200m in the CARRIFTA champs trials in 2011 while also participating on a sub 40 4x100m squad before injury:

From one online source: Was a teammate of Andrew Fisher (who won the 100m at Penns) in high school at St. Elizabeth Technical High School. See him on 3rd leg here

and running for the Jamaica Carifta U-20 team in 2011 here

3rd leg handing over to Jahzeel Murphy. Kemarley was not fully fit there as he had got hurt at champs that year after winning the Carifta trials in the 200m

And....From a Jamaican news source:

Meanwhile, back to his two years here subsequent to those performances back in Jamaica--You can see the improvements from year 1 to year 2 even just comparing his two state title performances in the 100m in 2013 and then this season. Watch the races. Try and see where improvements have been made. Look at the drive phase improvements, the push angles, the arms, the shoulders....

Have you contacted the head coach at Merritt? Do you know the time and effort that goes into the kind of growth this young man has made? Do you know the challenges of a young man coming this far and what kind of dedication and commitment it took to achieve the success he had all while graduating from the school?

Simply coming on here and throwing around completely unsubstantiated accusations is shameful at best. In truth, it is a disgusting disgrace. The real mountain of evidence is on Brown's side. It's documented and it is uncontroverted. You don't get credit for unsupported claims based on your personal petty jealousy. If Korchemny was involved, then what it is is not vindication for you, it is vindication for him.

Call the head coach, identify yourself and find out the real story instead of playing your internet guessing game. In fact, even on the internet you have been proven incorrect. Shame on you sir

This is all pretty peculiar. Keep the community updated on this situation

This is my first time on this thread.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with someone coaching after getting a drug ban, nor with running and/or coaching elites or internationally. Also I think they should be able to advertise that they use and / or promote drugs.

I am 100% against drug use and don't use any drugs myself.

However let's look at the facts. First of all the drugs are made by big pharma, promoted and used by their junkies almost everywhere, including in your home town and medical facilities all over the country. The doctor junkies who use and promote the drugs are considered authorities, and are immune from prosecution even when they kill people with the drugs.

The worst offenders suffer no sanctions.

Therefore there should be no sanctions for people who just use the drugs personally, under the deluded notion that they help them to improve.

Regarding promotion, the Brojos constantly promote the idea that drugs are a much better way to improve and run your best, than by natural and everyday means. As they are friends with some big wigs, perhaps they are getting paid to promote such a notion. I don't know, but doubt they would waste so much time without getting paid for it.

But that pales in comparision to the constant drug ads on the corporate media, tv and the internet, and there are no sanctions for that.

I could go on and on but the point is that drugs are used everywhere, promoted everywhere, and there are no sanctions at all, other than athletes who are trying to improve.

Isn't that strange????

Yes, it sure is!

It is strange because just using the drugs would not get that much attention, but banning people, because the drugs are SUPER ATHLETIC GENERATORS gets a lot of attention, thereby increasing the belief, the use, the delusions, and the profits from use of the drugs, which in reality are worth nothing at all.

There is no money in drugs, as they're not worth anything.

The money is in BANNING the drugs, creating the illusion, and in making the worthless, illegal.

This is pretty peculiar! Merritt seems to be actually doing something positive for the community by educating and advancing youth.

Since 2007, 15 All Americans (top 4 in state), 6 individual event state champions, and 32 scholarship transfers in the last 5 years. It might be a smallish and a best kept secret apparently to some but Merritt graduates and transfers its student-athletes! program

No need for speculation and hate people. Kemarley came in with a pedigree but with some flaws, a confidence issue and a first time away from his home country. He left as a degree achieving, confident and powerful student-athlete. His future is his now. There wasn't a more liked, humble athlete in CA .community colleges
