"Is Athletics Australia Corrupt and is Nic Bideau the leader?"
After 20 pages have we an answer?
Nic and AA are probably beside themselves and enduring sleepless nights not knowing. How can they move on with reforms without knowing the verdict of the LR experts.
- is one of the all-time worst coaches despite the fact he coerces every young Australian talent to join him
- thinks that 8 x 1km will solve world hunger
- thinks he can coach every distance without understanding any distance
- will threaten anyone who leaves MTC with his lawyers
- offers sketchy loans that athletes don't understand and threatens them with legal proceedings to repay them
- started dating Cathy Freeman when she was scarily young and he was 14 years older
- influences the AA selection process and will continually shaft any athletes who aren't under his management
- somehow works for AA despite all of this
- is a wanker
Bideauhater has coached at least 100 less national titles, but thinks he's a better coach than Bideau because he listens to running podcasts.
When you pick up the most talented juniors year after year are we really surprised they win nationals championships.
How many olympic medalists have Australia had in middle-long distance events? Notice how all of them had nothing to do with Nic. Funny that it takes more 8x1km, 30 min thresh and a few wattle park laps to get ready for an olympic final

You're so stupid that you don't even realise you're a loser.

Nic also notorious for having his athletes sh!t the bed at major champs.
Paris - 0 athletes in the 800 final, 0 athletes in the 1500 final, 1 athlete in the 5000 final (Stewy, protested to advance, 18th, noting that Rose Davies (9th) isn't coached by Nic), 0 athletes in the 10,000. Relative to the context of this thread - 5 athletes qualified for the marathon, with 2 DNS (Charlotte Purdue and Brett Robinson both injured in the lead-up), 1 DNF (Sinead Diver likely injured), with Gen Gregson in 24th (2:29) and Camille French in 60th (2:37). So across the board, not very good.
Budapest - 0 athletes in the 800 final, 0 athletes in the 1500 final, 1 athlete in the 5000 final (Stewy, protested to advance, 13th), 0 athletes in the 10,000, 1 athlete in the marathon (Izzy Batt-Doyle, 43rd)
Oregon - 2 athletes in the 1500 final (Georgia Griffith - 9th, Stewy - 9th), 1 athletes in the 10,000 (Jack Rayner - 19th), 1 athlete in the marathon (Charlotte Purdue, DNF)
As others have noted - he puts a lot of athletes on teams, but he also has had a monopoly on the top athletes as MTC was the only pro team for a long time. But he hasn't really had many of them develop, and his top result in the last 3 major global champs is a 9th place finish. If this was Ritz or Jerry, people would be out with pitchforks and torches based on results alone - and thats before you get into all the other baggage that comes with Nic.

The only people that defend him are the ones who are in his circle. But we all know relationships with Nic don’t end well, so when you’re in court paying back that debt, just remember some ‘loser’ on let’s run told you so…
As i’ve mentioned before, I actually have nothing against Nic. I just find it comical that no matter what happens there are always people who try to defend him. At what point does it not become a coincidence that he’s so involved with everything that happens?
I desperately hope the talented people in their group (Georgia, Jack, Sarah, Jude) can get out of that environment and actually amount to their true potential.

So he gets a lot of fringe athletes to major championships.

Didn't Nic also turned a blind eye when Rambo alledgedly turned a blind eye when one of his athletes (lets call him Ratt Mamsden) allegedly punched another teammate (for privacy purposes, Men Huckingbam)
When you go onto the athlete profile pages on the World Aths website there is usually a 'Representative' tab. For example, if you go to Linden Hall's profile page the 'Representative' tab shows Ray Flynn.
On McSweyn's profile page there is no 'Representative' tab.
Someone here must know who, if anyone, manages McSweyn at the moment.
