Powell might not show up at Worlds

RALEIGH, North Carolina: A dispute over Asafa Powell's no-show at a Jamaican training camp has thrown his participation at the Berlin World Championships into question, his agent said on Monday.

The former 100m world record holder and club mates including Olympic champions Shelly-Ann Fraser and Melaine Walker failed to report for national team training in Nuremberg.

Powell's agent Paul Doyle said an e-mail from Howard Aris, president of the Jamaica Amateur Athletics Association, on Friday implied five athletes could consequently miss the Aug 15-23 championships.
