**Statement on the Olympic Committee’s Decision Regarding the 100m Gold Medal**
To the esteemed members of the Olympic Committee,
I am writing to express my deep concern and appeal against the recent decision to award the 100m gold medal to Noah Lyles, as this matter holds significant implications for the integrity and fairness of the sport we all hold dear.
Jamaica has a proud tradition in athletics, marked by extraordinary achievements and a commitment to the highest standards of competition. Our athletes have consistently demonstrated unparalleled dedication, talent, and sportsmanship. The decision to award the gold medal to Noah Lyles, given the circumstances surrounding this event, has raised questions among many, including myself, about the fairness of the outcome.
In light of this, I urge the Olympic Committee to review the decision thoroughly. It is crucial that all decisions reflect not only the letter of the rules but also their spirit, ensuring that fairness and justice prevail. Transparency in this process is essential to maintain trust and uphold the values that define the Olympic Games.
We owe it to the athletes who dedicate their lives to their sport and to the global audience who watches with bated breath to ensure that every competition is conducted with the utmost integrity. I respectfully request a reevaluation of the decision, with a focus on preserving the sanctity of athletic excellence and fairness.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Kishane Thompson
