Rojo, has Paula Radcliffe signed your petition.
Just wonderin' out of interest.

1) She’s clearly the best 100 runner in the US.
2) Marijuana isn’t a performance enhancer in track and shouldn’t be on the banned list.
3) The only way I can see her keeping her spot is if all of the US100 runners with the standard turn down the spot if offered it by USATF. Then USATF will have to nominate her.
Please spread the word.
http://chng.it/t6KMB27ph4PS. I don’t want to get into any marijuana debates. Yes, it was foolish for her not to abstain right before the Olympics but it’s also foolish for those in charge to even be bothering to test for it.
What the hell's wrong with you?

ABSOLUTELY NOT. This is not the kind of trash we need representing us in international competition at all, let alone the Olympic Games. She likely would not have been going anyway before this disgraceful, idiotic pot bust took place. Have you forgotten she was already facing suspension? Unlike her, show some class and do NOT support her bid to represent us in Tokyo.
She probably doesn't feel like going to Japan? I mean would you want to go to Japan?
Might as well have the Olympics on Antarctica.
I mean yeah I could understand if the Olympics were in California or somewhere cool.
But no. They are in Japan. Yeah have fun with that.
Be nice to her. Let her have her fun.
And who cares about the olympics? Nobody cares about the olympics other than Olympia Greece.
It's really not that big of a deal.
Why do you think that every single athlete wants to go to Japan?
She probably did it on purpose so she wouldn't have to waste her time going to Japan.
Either have the olympics in California every single time or don't do it at all.
Ok great she probably doesn't feel like wasting her time traveling like what 21 hours to get to Japan?

If you were one of the other runners who had the qualifying time and were offered the spot, would you take it? I don’t think I would ( esp. if I was already running the 200). I would want to make the team based on my performance, rather on some lame drug rule that was broken under mitigating circumstances.
If I were Prandini or Thomas, I would pass on this opportunity and focus on 200.
If I were Gardner, I would take it. Why shouldn't I?
If I were Hobbs, I would have even a bigger reason to take it than Gardner. I am the one who was screwed in the trial, and it wasn't my fault.
Prandini: hey Puma, I’ve got the chance to get on the biggest sprinting stage wearing your shoes, but I’m going to pass up on it due to Rojo. We can forget about those contract bonuses, if you like.
Thomas: hey New Balance. Ditto.

No, the Paralympics is about to start this week in Tokyo. She might be able to compete with them.
