===Suriname=== There was an ongoing dispute between the Surinamese officials Robby Rijssel and Delano Landvreugd, both gentlemen claiming to lead the Surinamese Athletiek Bond and to represent Suriname at the IAAF. As a result of this, two different delegations independently tried to register groups of athletes for the games. Alain Jean-Pierre from Haïti, board member of both the North American, Central American and Caribbean Athletic Association (NACAC) and the Central American and Caribbean Athletic Confederation (CACAC), explained that normally both groups would have to be suspended from the games following the rules. Nevertheless, there was a joint decision by the NACAC, the CACAC, and the local organizing committee in favour of the young athletes: all of them from both delegations were allowed to compete at the games, but they were treated only as guest athletes and appeared in the result lists as "unattached", rather than from Suriname. As a consequence, the athletes could not participate in the parade of the opening ceremony, and they were not considered to be eligible for winning medals. The victim of the argument between the Surinamese officials was 15-year-old triple jumper Miguel van Assen who came in second in his category, but was not entitled to receive the silver medal.<ref name=star1> {{ Citation | last = | first = | date = 9 April 2012 | title = Tweedracht SAB op Carifta Games te merken | url = http://www.starnieuws.com/index.php/welcome/index/nieuwsitem/10229 | publisher = Network Star Nieuws, Paramaribo, Suriname | language = Dutch | accessdate = 29 May 2012 }} </ref><ref name=star2> {{ Citation | last = | first = | date = 9 April 2012 | title = Verwijten over en weer binnen SAB | url = http://www.starnieuws.com/index.php/welcome/index/nieuwsitem/10233 | publisher = Network Star Nieuws, Paramaribo, Suriname | language = Dutch | accessdate = 29 May 2012 }} </ref><ref name=star3> {{ Citation | last = | first = | date = 10 April 2012 | title = Sport- en Jeugdzaken: Atleet de dupe geworden | url = http://www.starnieuws.com/index.php/welcome/index/nieuwsitem/10260 | publisher = Network Star Nieuws, Paramaribo, Suriname | language = Dutch | accessdate = 29 May 2012 }} </ref><ref name=waterkant> {{ Citation | last = | first = | date = 11 April 2012 | title = Touwtrekkerij Surinaamse atletiekbond 'gênant’ | url = http://www.waterkant.net/suriname/2012/04/11/touwtrekkerij-surinaamse-atletiekbond-genant/ | publisher = Waterkant.Net | language = Dutch | accessdate = 29 May 2012 }} </ref><ref name=dagblad> {{ Citation | last = | first = | date = 19 April 2012 | title = Nacac-bestuurslid Alain Jean-Pierre: ‘Besturen Atletiekbond moeten probleem gezamenlijk oplossen’ | url = http://www.dbsuriname.com/dbsuriname/index.php/nacac-bestuurslid-alain-jean-pierre-besturen-atletiekbond-moeten-probleem-gezamenlijk-oplossen/ | publisher = Dagblad Suriname, Paramaribo, Suriname | language = Dutch | accessdate = 29 May 2012 }} </ref>
