Re: t-and-f: IAAF threat to expel US federation

Let's take it the other direction (for a "suppose")... Say the USATF doesn't wait for the bullet to be fired, but summarily WITHDRAWS from the IAAF. Not without preparation of course... before making such an announcement they would approach a few other key track powers of "like mind", and agree

RE: t-and-f: IAAF threat to expel US federation

Another way to look at this is from an X-Files view. There was mention of the IAAF forming a new US group and discrediting USATF. If you remember, Ollan Cassell (former USATF head) was a major IAAF crony for way too long, and surely is still a major player behind the scenes. He was pushed aside

This is simple incredible.  Let us put drugs aside for a minute and address the heart of the issue, the right to a fair trial.  After all, that is what this has always been about. The IAAF and its supporters want public disclosure of any and all positives, true or false.  They are not concerned
