Re: t-and-f: Bailey at Van Damme
Conway says: And just imagine saying it BEFORE the race .. Another point: isn't intentionally not trying to win the race the same as "throwing" the race? Isn't that what that Kenyan guy got crucified for last year? A quote from the webpage: "He (Bailey) said, 'I am not looking to win yet!' He also alluded to the fact that it would be doubtful that he would choose to even try and win a race before Sydney." Imagine if some horse trainer or jockey made similar statements - there would be investigations and arrests. Kurt Bray Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
RE: t-and-f: Bailey at Van Damme
AAARRRHHH!!! Enough of it already. Imagine if during the course of your work, you had a bunch of trolls hanging around writing down everything that you've ever said. Then afterwards, spent the next week under the bridge parsing, analyzing, then re-analyzing it all. malmo Remember the poignant words of Pat Rico: "Only by honoring the past can you live in the present and build for the future." -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kurt Bray Sent: Saturday, August 26, 2000 11:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: t-and-f: Bailey at Van Damme Conway says: And just imagine saying it BEFORE the race ..

Imagine if some horse trainer or jockey made similar statements - there would be investigations and arrests. becuase of hte betting component, such statements probably constitute fraud. There's no such component in track, and the sport has a long (and noble) history of people (particularly distance runners) who come back and run "test" races just to get a feel for where they are. Or throwers or jumpers using abbreviated runups. i do agree it borders on the odious, however, when it's done in the context of a Golden League meet, where stars names are being used to sell the meet to the public. A big-time meet promoter aware of those kinds of statements should pull the person from the race. gh
