Just FYI, I messaged with Jos Hermens (Bekele's agent) and Gianni Demadonna (Lemma/Tola's agent) and they said (as of Thursday) that the federation had not released the teams yet. Hermens suspected the ESPN article was based on the initial Pulse Sports article, which has since been deleted.
Bekele told Hermens he thought the teams might be named next week.
Before it wasn’t on the homepage, now it is. Can we take it as you may have sources indicating it is true but not official yet?

No, it should not be on the homepage. That is a mistake, working on fixing now.
It’s awesome that they get to race one last time. I think they’ll be in the mix for bronze though. Sisay Lemma and Benson Kipruto seem to be on a higher level than them right now
I guess we don’t even know officially if he was selected yet; but does anyone know what happened to Tola in London? I know November was quite a while ago at this point, but Tola looked pretty formidable with his CR and win in NYC.
