Hendershott said that while working with Francis may raise questions, it is Montgomery and Jones who have to decide who plays what role in their careers. The ultimate test is going to be with their performance, he said.

This is reasonably funny: PR: I'm not saying that. And I don't think people think that. You don't even speak Canadian. I'm just worried about the possible bad publicity of all this. Jones: How bad could it be? PR: Actually, this is about as bad as it gets. But that's still bad. More here:

Actually, they have apparently been at York quite a bit over the last few days and seen by a number of people but no one really does seem to care. We're just too polite up here. Someone offered 100.00 on a site up here for a photo which actually reminds me of the old SNL Beatles reunion joke.

As first reported in The Toronto Sun yesterday,... Not quite accurate. While Hansen has an extensive expertise in analysing the biomechanics of sprinting and long jump, the Sun has learned that he is, in fact, working with the pair in co-operation with Francis... Learned from whom?
