The Olympics are literally a year away. Imagine Mahomes not playing this season to be more ready for the superbowl next season and to attempt some passing records.

Agreed
Running Worlds is hardly that frigging taxing so that it would sap anyone for a year away track meet doubling or not
the very thought of this or defending it? Insane!!
I love how Syd and Athing have so many old guys getting their tighty whities in a bunch. Multiple, foaming-at-the-mouth threads. All a big circle jerk since for disgruntled 'fans' since Athing and Syd are off living their best lives in style.
they ended their season right after world last year and skipped the indoor and outdoor season this year to focus on Worlds and now they are skipping on Worlds to focus on the Olympics. What’s next? What exudes will they come up with next for not racing? Skipping on the Olympics to focus on breaking the WR? How are people still a fan of these “athletes”? They never race! Are you just a fan of their illusion? A fan of their potential? I’ve honestly lost interest in following both of them. I hope they retire soon because they’re doing more damage than good to the sport and it’s fan base.
Maybe skip the 2024 Olympics to get ready for the 2028 Olympics in their own Country USA. LOL
If they don't lose anything in their contracts, skipping Paris for LA may just happen, although Paris does offer both good opportunities for the catwalk (on unicycles).
I still think this is as simple as getting appearance money from Budapest organizers. Probably was set up then bp group said 'this is stupid, we don't need to pay money for worlds', and then...

EXACTLY, NB and NIKE should be kicking their butts to the curb. You should not be able to live in style while actively avoiding the top tier of your profession.

Yes, It's hard to accept what is going on with these slackers compared to the culture of sport that we were raised on.
Think all the way back to Flo Jo and Jackie Joyner-Kersee, they didn't compete often but when they did WRs were always a possibility. Who were they coach back in the 1980"s: Bobby Kersee

3. Withdraws from a WC or Olympics without a valid and confirmed reason
… should be mandatory drug tested once a week for a minimum six months.
.....
How would any of that affect Sydney or Athing this season? You can't just text someone because they skip a championship. Now as for 1 and 2 I could see being tested multiple times but not weekly for a minimum of 6 months.

No, you racist. What's your probably answering to is a bunch of guys who probably are white men who are wanting to appreciate the tremendous Talent both these athletes have. They help sell the sport when they compete.
Our sport is in bad need of being promoted having lost Usain Bolt. To have these women listening to a some svengali like Bobby Kersee, hurts the sport. Sponsors lose interest, the public loses interest. Meanwhile, us old white guys, you know the ones who actually buy tickets and have our companies support the sport, are just hoping to see these fabulous athletes compete.
Vipam, I agree with the possibilities you brought up for the "real reason" they might both skip. However, the other day you said you hope the press doesn't give them any attention if they skip worlds. You pretty much said they were hurting the sport and losing fans. Now, you're seemingly making up a justification for why skipping worlds would be ok for them. Make up your mind. Both of your posts play both sides of the fence.
Take drugs out of the equation. They both can still be tested without competing at Worlds by random testing. They already completed in meet(s) plus the USA Championships in which they most likely were tested.
I imagine the US negotiated a deal on their behalf promising they’ll skip WC and not be exposed in exchange, which also helps preserve the illusion of fair sport.

You are correct and in that other post majority of the posters shared opposite opinions and now I posted this and guess what most of those posters are still having opposite viewpoints. Hypocrites.
Also 007
I am not justifying anything, I am simply trying to understand the reason behind this in and out Worlds saga, because it has nothing to do with drugs. Remember in both posts I steadfast said I don't personally favor their decisions.
The people I coached would sooner have died than miss a championship that they had qualified for. These two are just a couple of prima donnas with no competitive spirit.
