Sad to hear @gg_runs DQd b/c of politics.If she deserved to be DQd fine. But when two committees rule no foul and still dq=corruption @usatf
After the petition was DENIED TWICE and results are released, NIKE uses its ownership of USATF to DQ a brooks athlete.
USATF is officially a fvcking joke
Just Do It™
She deserved to be DQ'd

The first two groups that reviewed the race and DENIED the petition felt differently.
If this is true, Nike lost a customer forever.
Yes she does. Just because you would have won anyone doesn't mean you get to be a total Jack_ss to everyone else in the field. No excuse. She didn't just shove one person, she shoved several.
Does anyone have a link to the video of the race. I really want to see it
This is fair. The contact occured in open territory where GG had no reason to come into contact with Hasay. The racers were strung out and GG had plenty of room to go around Hasay. Looks like she may have come into contact with Rowberry as well.
Magness didn't even watch the race. What a tool.
despicable. These NOP b1tch$ are about to have kiev situation on their hands
after watching it live myself, GG didnt just trip hasay but also rowberry and nudged a couple other runners in the field, i think its fair that she got DQ'd
She definitely deserved the DQ dude. Why didn't she just try to go around them, weird.

Grunewald is the Eric Jenkins of this meet.
The only ridiculous thing about this situation is that it took them so long to come to the correct decision.
Well since usatf kisses Nike's ass I'm not surprised. I can understand if they came out and said it was a DQ at first but to deny it twice and then hours later give in? Bullshit, just Salazar being butt hurt over his athletes having a shitty day.
A friend of mine just got a text from a Nike employee asking her to post on this thread saying that the DQ should be upheld.
Weird.
be sayin "Result will be officially posted on Sunday"
Reminds me of when Nike had security remove the Brooks execs from the 2012 Trials after Brooks flew a plane with a Brooks banner behind it over Hayward Field. The shoe wars continue.
Believe it. There were a lot of Brooks jerseys running well tonight.
