"There's an arrogance about these meets in England. There's something wrong. The attitude seems to be, 'We've got Mo Farah so we don't need anyone else.' Birmingham has a big West Indian community and you would have thought they would want to see Yohan Blake or Warren Weir or some of the other Jamaicans."
"This friendly stuff doesn't work. If you're friends with this manager (Ian Stewart) you get to have your athletes come in. If you're not friends, you don't get to be invited. You have to be in the boys' club.
- Cubie Seegobin, the agent for Yohan Blake, blasting UK meet director Ian Stewart for insulting his star client by offering him only $40,000 to run in England.
