This isn't directed at anyone personally but if the top US runners weren't such babies and actually ran worth a shit like they did 20-30 years ago we wouldn't be having this discussion. They got the job done, we have not. They ran the fast time before the trials, got that nonsense out of the

Re: t-and-f: Hosting 2004 Olympic Marathon Trials

Of course, the reality is that my statements are almost certainly too late. I had hoped that the USATF had come to it senses, but I can see that it had not. I doubt seriously that they could withdraw the awards and solicit applications from appropriate locations. I will keep beating this
