you're still advocating a massive disservice to the sport by suggesting that millrose be protested or boycotted. the last thing millrose needs now is controversy with regard to drug use; an issue that the public, who pays scant attention to track to begin with, has a negative view of (though coupled with a short attention span -- how's barry bonds doing? anyone heard lately?). when you bring attention to this minor bullshit, and all the vast collective will remember is "millrose = drugs."
The massive disservice is including a proven drug cheat in the Millrose festivities. Slaney, by virtue of her nasty personality and personal lifestyle choices, has never been a role model anyway. Slaney was always about me, me, me. She is not the face that track and field should be honoring.
The only thing Slaney ever did was run fast many years ago. Running fast, as she has proven, does not make one an honorable person.
