The irony of this debate is that last year everyone was criticizing the
dad for over-racing Bria and pushing her too much, too soon.

Bria runs in Minnesota. Our season begins August 12 with a first meet no
sooner than two weeks later. We run 4000 meters for girls. The state
league rules allow about ten meets before the champioinship series which is
a Sectional Meet and the State Meet. That is about one race per week. S
Does anyone know how many races this girl's team - well, ex-team - is
scheduled to run? And how many are tough competition? No one so far has
noted the fact that if she is truly outstanding, then the ordinary high
school dual meet is NOT a race for her, it's just a good short tempo run.

Hello,
Well as a runner from MN that has seen what has been going on with Bria I
will put in my 2 cents. To start I think Bria is a great running talent, But
I think the BIG problem is her dad. To give some background 3 summers ago
she was racing road races every weekend sometimes 2 races in

that our sport, more than any other, tests and catches cheaters. Should we try to make
the tests better? Of course. I hope they develop tests for HGH and EPO that can detect
usage farther back than just a few day
Regarding Israeli athletes, I trust this will outrage everyone as much as
me. It's from the current issue of Sports Illustrated (won't hit newsstands

Much of what you say is true. Consider this: just the threat of an EPO
test in 2000 killed August and September performances in Europe as well
as in Sydney.
I, too, believe sub 3:30, 8:00, 13:00, and 27:00 performances are
possible clean. Still, I would like to see a 12:45 or a 26:45 run where

Anyone who thinks IAAF and USATF wants a truly clean sport is crazy. Stars

Even the playing field and there are fewer stars to sell and those that

Of all the suggested changes I like the coaching clinics and providing the
coaches an area to coach from the best. You need to teach coaches about
safety and then allow them to coach during the event. Rules about pole size
and pole grip are no good at all because every athlete is different plus
