I am guessing that by hemisphere, I supposed he meant except Cuba.

He is very likely correct what with so many males not attending.Plus the completion rate due to financial constraints. However, research and confirm anything that man says.

Premier historian though he is he'll give wrong info to fit agenda.

Remember when he said Weekes' 5 consecutive tons '48-49 made him the 1st Caribbean person to be best (world record) at anything! He 'forgot' that Herb McKenley in '47 set a WR in the 440yrds as well as had world leading times in 100, 200 and 400m and is still the only man to have done so.
