Predictable. The only meet that pays the bills in this sport is the Olympics. Kersee needs to have Mu and Sydney peaked for that one race. The PEDs will be coming out of their eyelids this time next year. But if you do that year round you risk getting caught.

What is predictable is your response. But I actually appreciate your response more than the crybabies who are somehow making themselves victims in all of this.
I mean in some ways we are. If a bunch of people boycotted Nike for her not doing worlds, they would cut her. She's a sponsored athlete to increase shoe sales (ie WE buy them). If we don't buy the shows because she doesn't compete, she doesn't bring in $ for Nike, Nike will stop giving her $ to pay her rent.
The boycott idea is actually low key goated. My pension fund owns a bunch of Nike stock so Mu is technically my employee. I basically own her. To see her behave so incredulously makes me furious! I will *NEVER* cheer for your again Mu you stinker!!!!
It is predictable but it is also true. The economics of this are very simple. They win the Olympics, they are set. Kersee is not called "The Chemist" for no reason, and his athletes get the golden pass.
The racists here will mercilessly attack Mu and Sha’Carri. It doesn’t matter what they do. Some others, while not racist, never grew up so they act like Mu exists to entertain them. Pathetic…

OK so you are saying winning the Olympics again. Kersee is suspect for sure. He has earned the right to be considered suspect. Mu unfortunately has tainted herself by joining him. But then really if she goes to Budapest and wins Gold your opinion doesn’t change. You are sure she is doping no matter what she does. I am not offering my opinion but I am clarifying yours. It doesn’t matter what she does. She is a doper in your eyes.
I've just been told by someone close to Kersee that Mu has been accidentally running her workouts clockwise and they didn't realize until USAs where they expected her to take down the WR but her mechanics were all messed up running counterclockwise.
She's in 1:51 shape right now but couldn't convince the Budapest organizers to let the 800m be clockwise.
has it ever come out that somebody was serving a SUPER SECRET doping ban, disguised as injury or just taking a break?
always amuses me when people bring that up, but maybe im the naive one.
Probably not in track and field, but absolutely yes on the PGA Tour.
And I can name the golfer, and I know this because I have a friend on the PGA Tour who told me it was going to happen before it did.
Dustin Johnson.
And I'm not talking about the time he announced a "leave to deal with some personal things." I'm talking about the time before that when they concocted the "hurt my back lifting a jet ski" story to cover for his absence.

In a word, no. Should she end her season now (as she looks set to) she will lose a massive portion of her compensation from Nike. Furthermore, she won’t be opting out of the testing pool so she will still be subject to just as much out of competition testing as she is now. Unless of course she formally retires, which may not be so far fetched at this stage.

Professional sports are in fact unscripted entertainment. People buy tickets or watch on TV to be entertained. Mu is a professional athlete = entertainer. Sure, she could still run around on her own and set records, but without fans she would be doing it for free. Fans of the sport do have a say. She seems like a great person, and she’s clearly a great talent, and she has every right to choose not to run, but fans have every right to be disappointed, even a little bit mad. That’s the way it works. All the $ that flow to her for this work starts with fans either buying her product directly or indirectly.
And why stop there, do go on and say the other word you know you really want to say.
Lazy is LAZY. Fighting straw women much? What is Mu's J-O-B? How many times this year has she performed her J-O-B? Hint: it's not "modeling" or "shopping." It might be covering up positive dope tests but that's just speculation.

Why would you be mad about this? I would think this is not something that would make you mad. Maybe I experienced more trauma in my life than you, so I can detach more easily. I am not sure. I just don’t understand being mad about this. Do you know why you’re mad, if you are mad?

Thanks for posting, it's been a pleasure.
Pretty sure Mu's job description is well detailed in her nike contract. You think she is getting paid an hourly wage? Idiot.

Me personally, I’m not mad, but if she doesn’t show, yes, I’ll be disappointed. It’s not that big a deal in the greater scheme of things, of course, but nor is her running and losing. I’m a big fan of the sport and I’ve been looking forward to worlds all summer. One of the races I’m most interested in seeing is the women’s 800. If she’s not racing, it’s barely worth watching, imo. Of course, there are other amazing events too, like many, so still a lot to look forward too, but could you imagine if Jakob decided to not bother racing the 1500? Wouldn’t that stink? Now am I crying over this? Of course not. I have a full life and this is not a crisis, but in my hobby jogger fandom aspect of life, Mu blowing off this meet is a little bit of a bummer. Minor, but not zero.

OK but the women’s 800m still has very good competition. If Jakob didn’t run, then the 1500m would be even more interesting to me. There would be no pacemaker then, according to Jakob. I understand your position better now and it makes more sense.
