From my understanding, Harris Thomas doesn’t have a  passport, so Andre Marcano will serve as brakeman at the Olympics. Two-time olympian Mikel Thomas has been nominated as backup. 
 

Here is Marcano’s World Athletics profile: https://www.worldathletics.org/athletes/trinidad-and-tobago/andre-marcano-14244879

Wow that makes it really shady then. Pilot gets citizenship while breakman does not. As if they just wanted a commodity they did not already have. Bobsleigh pilots are indeed an investment.

 A little justice there I think, McNeil only raced the monobob twice and was qualified in it.

If the IBSF was smart they would maximize their quotas because they are now going to lose them in 2026. Could easily invite the first four in women's monobob to compete..

What possible reason is there behind this? Hollywood?

where do you see this, the official olympic site still only lists the monobob in their athletes section and the IBSF have not altered their confirmed quotas page?

They were shown as entered in the results management system, but I see they have been removed now.
