Now that hes run twice over the last couple of weeks, it is clear that Luxolo Adams should not go to the Olympics.

The removal of the 27-year-old sprinter from the SA team for the Paris Games has not only caused controversy but has landed up in court .

Adams, however, should not be selected ahead of Wayde van Niekerk for the200m eventin the French capital.

Thats not to say Adams doesnt have a legal case. He was initially included in the team, and then removed, and Athletics South Africas qualifying criteria doesnt seem to give the federation much leeway to select athletes based on form.

But picking Adams would be a mistake because hes not in shape.
