I've watched the video several times and I'm no fan of Decker/Tabb/Slaney but it still looks to me like Budd is mainly to blame for The Fall. Either shit or get off the pot. Pass Slaney or don't pass her but don't keep easing into her for 150+ meters.

Of course, Slaney could have defended her position better, sped up, or ceded her position. Budd was content to run about 4 laps on the outside of lane 1, what was the hurry to go to the inside at that point, anyway?

I'm going to assign 55% of blame to Budd and 45% to Slaney.

Decker/Slaney was caught being a drug cheat years after this race. Very good chance she was a drug cheat in this race. A disgusting show of sportsmanship after the race. Karma is a bitch and so is Decker/Slaney.

re: Burbot

Decker clipped her once and then came back 3 strides later and clipped her again which caused the fall. Looked like Budd was in the same position on the track as before she was being clipped. If Decker wasn't smart enough to slow a little after the first clip, she deserved what she got when she did it again.

Decker or Budd had no chance to win anyway as Puica just sat on the lead runner and dusted them at the end.

Decker was purposely kicking Budd's leg trying to make her fall down, a tactic that she had practiced to do but it backfired on her. You can see her watching Budd's left leg, purposely directing her stride right into it and trying to make Budd fall down. Additionally, Budd was moving outward almost into lane two before Decker clipped her the second time.
