Jamaica?s Carifta Games squad returned home last week minus one of their athletes.

Kenroy Williams, who competed in the Under-20 Boys 1500 metres final on the opening evening of the three-day meet, has been detained for more than a week in the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital with an irregular heartbeat.

Jamaican team official Alfred Francis told that Williams ? who was disqualified from his event ? collapsed at the end of the race and was taken to hospital where his condition was diagnosed.

The youngster, who Francis said had never experienced heart problems before, is expected to be flown home via air ambulance today.

?It was a pre-existing condition he had before he came here. And thanks to the good medical facilities we had available at the National Sports Centre it was detected,? said Bermuda Track and Field Association president Judith Simmons.

Simmons, meanwhile, refused to comment on a separate incident in which another Jamaican athlete reportedly suffered severe cuts to the body after running through a pane of glass at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess and had to be airlifted overseas by air ambulance to seek medical treatment.
