Certainly Greg still has a chance of competing in Melbourne and that's why selectors have the discretionary power in situations like this.

It will be something special and, obviously, having the fastest man in the world compete is a huge coup.

We have six people who are trying to get into that relay and, if the girls don't toe the line, I am sure the coaches will have something to say. They want a cohesive team out there on the track.

This is a view found to be widely held by the athletics community.

I've spoken to both girls and they agreed it was not painting the sport in the right light.

We knew if it went into penalties we would have a excellent chance.
