Sh!t, you're right. I'm going to have to rethink my misogynistic stereotypes.
A male adult in a place like this track meet can not use foul language. He can not advance in a manner in anger as this is disorderly conduct. Fighting words and action etc. One does not have to hit you to assault you. If I advance on you there with such fighting words and say someone is restraining me, and you just fire a punch and knock me out...my behavior and manner indicated fighting behavior and stance. He should be charged at least with disorderly conduct.

You wanttot talk about "team tactics", lets talk about the 10k at USAs last year...Ritz just paced Galen until the last lap, while not letting CDerrick by. Almost the same thing as bumby in the 3k.
a big lol at the "not letting CDerrick go by"

Jesus, at least make an attempt to spell.
I love it. Finally American Track & Field has a legitimate team rivalry. Personally, I'm a Schumacher fan just because Al Sal seems like such a douche, but he is very entertaining to say the least.
What do we know about Schumacher? Why is he not a doosh as well? The guy never domes interviews and barely lets his athletes promote themselves.

That he doesn't cause ludicrous scenes and we don't know much about him is how he is not a "doosh".

Schumacher is the most secretive coaches I have ever seen, no questions it?...at least AL gives interviews, reveils training, behind the scenes vidoes, grants interviews...not Schumacher? maybe that group should be looked into more? Schumacher behavior is like the CIA
So? Who cares? He should be punished and scrutinized because you're curious about what he's doing? Maybe he's trying to protect the only advantage that he has. Or maybe, it doesn't even matter and you don't deserve to know. Because, really, who are you to demand that he tell you what he's doing?
Schumacher may be a douche but we have no real evidence of this. Being soft spoken isn't necessarily a quality of douchness. However, in my opinion, the scene yesterday especially, along with some other past incidents, qualifies Salazar as a douche.
Now I think that the sport of distance running needs some more douchy personalities in it, we are a way too spoken of a sport in comparison to basketball, football and baseball. However regardless of if he is good for the sport or not Salazar is a hot head and a douchebag.
99.27% of football coaches are total d-bags. I'm not sure how Salazar is any different. Please enlighten. Are you telling me that overt competitiveness and rule exploitation is un-American? Inhuman? Please.
I'm late to this party, as I just had a chance to watch the race vids long after the races. I think that if Gabe is DQ'd then so should Hill be in the men's race. They both abruptly took position that wasn't theirs. I see similar incidents happen constantly in European track with no DQ's. I've seen plenty of college meets where those would be DQ's. Pick your poison.
So back to my first paragraph. I would completely expect a professional coach to act in the self-/team-oriented way that Salazar did. That is simply how coaches act at the highest levels of U.S. sport. Both of those situations (Hill and Gabe) could be interpreted as interference. If you're the coach you're going to pretty adamantly argue that.
I left Nike as a customer a looooooong time ago for my own reasons but I don't see the problem with Salazar's behavior. We need more Nikes, not fewer, the sport is small enough as is. Gabe needed her own camp to skillfully (and politically) argue back. She clearly interfered (whether enough for a DQ, that's the officials' call) when she could have waited a beat and still dominated. That seems pretty obvious. Why cut off a runner (Hasay) with no wheels?
After many decades of following the man and thinking how wonderful he is, Salazar is now a disgrace to me. I have no respect left based on this DQ (and other "issues" with the Nike Project)

"If my athletes were on PEDs" says absolutely nothing about Salazar. Salazar's name is not included in the supposed statement.
A Duck, stay out of the libel claims business. You do not understand a thing about libel laws.
