"UK Athletics doesn't
recruit athletes," Charles van Commenee, head coach of the domestic governing
body, insisted. "We're not searching actively across the globe for people who
may be interested to compete for the British team. There are lots of people with
a British passport and at one point they knock on the door and ask, 'Can we
compete for Britain?' I say, 'Of course. If you have a British passport,shoesforwomen is a high top
