The Electronic Telegraph Wednesday 25 July 2001 Tom Knight DARREN CAMPBELL, whose season has been blighted by injury, will decide today if he will travel to Edmonton with the Great Britain team for the world championships. After failing to recover from a hamstring problem in time to win a place in the 100m or 200m, Campbell's only option is to go to Canada as part of the sprint relay squad. But the Olympic 200m silver medallist may decide to concentrate on getting fit in time to recover his season in the remainder of the summer grand prix meetings. Donna Fraser has delayed her flight to Canada because of her ongoing battle to recover from an Achilles tendon injury. Determined to avoid surgery, the 400m runner, who finished fourth in Sydney, has raced only four times this summer and was surprised to have been selected. Tessa Sanderson, the 1984 Olympic javelin champion who combines her role as the vice-chair of Sport England with being an agent, has hit out at the selectors for not picking the AAA champion, Diane Allahgreen, for the 100m hurdles. Allahgreen's best this summer is 13.08sec, 0.03sec short of the A standard qualifying time. Sanderson, who looks after Allahgreen, said the decision was unfair. Max Jones, UK Athletics' performance director, said an A standard, achieved this year or last, was the minimum requirement for track events. Eamonn Condon www.RunnersGoal.com
