Games blow

HE HASN’T called for the cutting of teams just yet, but Steve Stoute has not defended all the returns from the Commonwealth Games either.
Barbados’ performance in Scotland is not sitting well with the Barbados Olympic Association (BOA) head, after the long-serving president described some of the individual efforts from the games as humiliating.
Stoute gave the assessment during Thursday night’s announcement of Barbados’ team for the Youth Olympic Games, targeting the country’s Commonwealth cyclists specifically as a major disappointment.
“In cycling, with the exception of Darren Matthews, the performance of the competitors was just embarrassing in my view,” said a candid Stoute, himself a former general secretary of the Barbados Cycling Union.
