Stephen Francis Interview Part 2

http://www.reggae-xpress.com/wc09dvd/
Stephen Francis talks about the MVP and JAAA standoff at the World Championships and drug use in Jamaican athletics. With Usain Bolt's world records (9.58 100m and 19.19 200m) and Asafa doing well along with Melaine Walker and Shelly-Ann Fraser a lot of people are pointing fingers at Jamaica. Have your say.

Just a little clarification. The statement by Dr. Paul could not be more incorrect and coming from a doctor it is very alarming. Anybody with even minor knowledge of chemistry knows that 2 compounds can have the same chemical formula and yet have a different chemical structure and be 2 very different substances, these are called isomers. An example of this is C6 H12 O6 which is both glucose and fructose when the atoms making up the molecules are arranged differently.

With regards to the above:

glucose and fructose are simple sugars both natural and have similar effects. The substance found are similar in structure and effect that it is why an adverse finding was published . Think it all the way through. parallel structures:parallel effects:parallel responses.

[nuffyfan]

Not true at all, many isomers are totally different in their effects. I used the exmple above because it was simple. Another example of isomers having very different properties can be found in certain xanthines. Theobromine is found in chocolate, but if one of the two methyl groups is moved to a different position on the two-ring core, the isomer is theophylline, used as a bronchodilator.

you can get it if you want it, but I didn't know anyone was interested. My apologies.

Thanks for posting this, very interesting....They say Francis is arrogant, but I think he's "confident"...big difference!!

[ziontrain1971]

I think stephen francis is arrogant, selfish, vindictive and ignorant for a man with a MBA. Yes hands down he is the best coach, but his people skill is lacking.This interview only highlight and butress the view that he is very cantankerous and not a team player. Whem since MVP facility a UTECH is a world standard facility?please give me a break.Dr Wright you sound more like MVP PR spokeperson.

[JQX1]

jaaa did not invest in these athletes

[Sickhop26]

Thanks for this gem of a post. or posts. Do you have anymore like this? I personally like this because it debunks the theory of Mr Fancis being a raging lunatic.
