Re: t-and-f: Bad decision
Hey Ed, I generally enjoy your posts about New Jersey track, however, I think you are off base here. Does it give you pause that the Casey Martin descision was supported by members of the court from all across the political spectrum? I will agree that this was a very difficult case to decide, I'm not sure how I would have ruled as judge, but you should be able to see Casey's side of the argument(and the logic to the court's descision). Simply put, if walking was an essential part of the game of golf, the seniors wouldn't ride in carts! As for it's implications in our sport, I doubt they would bother you at all. I would imagine a high jumper or a pole valter with a visual problem that requires a specially marked bar (which he would supply to the meet, and would meet IAAF specifications in ever other way). How about a deaf sprinter who needs some kind of visual or tactile cue that would let him know when the gun is fired without looking at it? These are the types of accomidations which I believe that are invisioned by the drafters of the ADA and the supreme court. Do they in any way give an unfair advantage to these athletes with mild disabilities, or do they enable them to compete in a fair and meaningful way? Is there any fundimental change in the contest?

The problem with court decisions is that oince they are made, activists will "run with them" and, oif they go too far, iot takes another court case to correct the situation. There are, of course, a number of ways in which it could affect track and field on all levels. The rules on stimulants, for example. Would they be allowed if an athlete could prove that they merely correct a "handicap." And that's just one example. Would it be confined to the "professional" end of the sport? I doubt it. In factm, the HS sction might be the most vulnerable. It was a porrly reasoned decision and I find it interesting and, for me heartening, that the only two negative votes came from justices whose educational background included a good bit of real logic. To call a golf pro a "customer" of the PGA is totally absurd. A customer pays a fee knowing what he is going to get and what he is not going to get. A professional golfer, if he indeed has to pay an entry fee, does it in the hope that his reward will be, and usually is, much greater than what he puts in. And that;s just one thing wrong with the reasoning, if you can call it that, of the majority which included members of the left, center and right of the court/ Ed Grant
t-and-f: Felix Limo question?
I know that it was debated and supposedly substantiated ad infinitum last year when Limo suddenly popped a 27:04 at Brussels (pacing just behind Tergat's winning 27:03) ... but has anyone seen him run anything to support suddenly being an all-time top-10 10k'er? His PR's before the Brussels race supported him being about a 28:05 runner (which would make sense if he did indeed run only 24 laps). I believe they were about 7:50/13:25, but cannot remember them precisely. I also believe he had either no mark or very slow marks at 10k (before his apparent 27:04). I also remember seeing him run some less spectacular 5k times right after the Brussels race (13:20's range?) This latest result casts further doubt: GP Hengelo 1 METRES - MEN Pts 1 Mezgebu Assefa ETH 27:22.30 5.0 2 Kamathi Charles KEN 27:22.58 4.0 3 Tolla Girma ETH 27:22.84 3.0 4 Limo Richard KEN 27:25.27 2.0 5 Admassu Yibeltal ETH 27:57.01 1.0 6 Jifar Habte ETH 27:57.23 7 Limo Felix KEN 27:57.42 I realize that it IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE that he never ran something as good as that 27:04 last August, before or since, AND COULD STILL run a legitimate 27:04. This is entirely clear to me. I also know he could run 27:57 this week and it should cast NO DOUBT on the validity of former marks. I also realize that many times runners have had a HUGE breakthrough, never to repeat it (especially in the 10k in the last 10 years). But has he run anything (in the last 3 years) indicating he is capable of 27:00-flat territory? -Brian McEwen

t-and-f: WC 'A' standard holders in distances?
Anybody in the know willing to post the scenarios of who currently holds an 'A' standard for the WC's from the US distance athletes. Here is what I believe the men's situation is: I believe that Holman, Stember, Jennings, and Krumenacker are the only athletes with the A standard in the 1500m (3:36.20) - all from last summer? Berryhill's solo effort 3:37.05 was impressive, but is still short though. Pyrah, Lunn, and Lassiter are all still short too, with this year's WC standard tougher than the Oly Games standard. In the 5k (13:25.00) I count Kennedy, Meb, Broe this year, with Rodgers and Goucher from last year (Lane just misses). Could make for an interesting choice for Broe. With the SC A standard at 8:25, you'll certainly have to beat that to make the team at the USATF final. But the SC prelim and the 5k are on the same day, and only 1 day after the 10k. So if Meb makes the team in the 10k, he's likely not going to run the 5k?? So Broe may just have to beat Rodgers (13:40-something at Pre) to possibly make the team? Broe looked flat in the SC on Sunday, and although he is tough, is no lock to make it in the SC. In the 10k (28:00.00) I count only Meb, Culpepper, Abdi, and Rogers. Wonder if Rodgers will try the 10k or stick with the 5k. Certainly a lot of guys could pick up the standard in Europe, or even at USATF's. But it does make for some interesting scenarios. Can someone confirm my count of A qualifiers and post the women's RC

t-and-f: IOC prepares to tackle genetic cheats
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kougellis, Jason (CAP, CRE)) It just gets better... IOC prepares to tackle genetic cheats Source: AP|Published: Thursday June 7, 9:05 AM LAUSANNE, Switzerland - The International Olympic Committee has braced for the onset of a problem more formidable and dangerous than doping: genetic modification of athletes. Meeting with some of the world's leading genetic experts, representatives of the IOC medical commission examined the potential impact of gene therapy in sport and the ethical implications of genetically modifying athletes. Major advancements have been made recently in the field of gene therapy, which involves injecting the body with new genes that produce therapeutic proteins meant to block disease. The technique - still in the experimental stage - is designed to treat, cure or prevent disease. But authorities fear some people will try to use gene therapy to secure a competitive edge on the playing field. "There is an important mutation on the horizon," said Prince Alexandre de Merode, chairman of the IOC's medical commission. "The application of gene therapy is not feasible today and we know of no cases of abuse yet, but it could become as important and widespread a problem as traditional doping in sport. "The same problem will likely occur in genetic therapy as we see elsewhere. There is danger here if we are not prepared for it." Relating it only to sport, the experts defined gene therapy as the "transfer of genetic material to humans for the treatment or prevention of diseases or disorders." However, the definition applied only to non-permanent modification of a person's body that will not transfer to offspring. The group did not delve into the possibility of altering embryos in the womb to engineer designer athletes, a potential problem experts imagine happening only in the distant future. "Currently there aren't even any gene therapy medicines that are approved worldwide for any human use, these gene therapy medicines are now only being developed," de Merode said. "So to come up with an individual completely different to others, who can run much faster, be the man or woman of the century - it won't come tomorrow, but maybe 10-20 years time," he said. Among the procedures under consideration to ferret out genetic cheats is the detection of antigens - or the presence of antibodies generated in the blood as a result of gene therapy use. Other methods include scanning and analysing footprints of genes, or protein in blood and saliva. Scientists agreed that gene therapy medicines - and their possible abuse by athletes - could be expected in three to five years. "With cops and thieves, the cops are always one step behind when there is a robbery," IOC medical director Patrick Schamasch said. "But here I really think we are not behind, we are a bit ahead, working with scientists to prevent what may be a problem in the future." http://www.smh.com.au/breaking/2001/06/07/FFXAGWUENNC.html
