A bunch of us are confused by this person. Why does he speak for/control his athletes? And why do they allow it?

He takes the pressure off of them by taking interviews

Control the sauce, control the schedule. Take a look at Schumacher
He's the Don King of track and field. Don King destroyed boxing and Kersee is now doing the same to track.
So Kersee's athletes don't race much and don't talk to the press? So if you take training out of the equation, being a athlete under him is the world's best job.
He’s not good for our sport when he hides and prevents one of the biggest stars, Mu, from competing.
The real problem is that star athletes still run to this and other doper coaches. That shows how acceptable doping is in American T&F.
Kersee: "So, Athing, you just show up on Friday and collect the check"
Mu: "I was hoping for direct deposit."
I’m hoping this whole worlds thing with Mu is just them playing mind games with their competitors. If you’re skipping a world championship while healthy then man…you probably should just move on from the sport and do something else. I loved that Mu stepped up and raced the 15, thought that was fearless and really fun. I’m giving her and her camp the benefit of the doubt on this until I actually see her scratched.
What Kersee is doing now is small fries, he should not be allowed near the sport full stop. We know he's a drug coach. He coached Flojo, sold anabolic steroids to Darrell Robinson. Jackie Joyner-Kersee was outed by Dr. Wade Exum(the head of the US Olympic Anti-Doping Committee) to have had positive tests covered up for the 1988. Angela Bailey said she left Kersee's UCLA group because he couldn't coach clean athletes.
I dont care if they are even clean under Kersee or even that they don't race. They fact that they even associate with someone like Kersee is my problem. He should've been shipped out of the sport decade's ago.
He is like a real-life Batman villain.
Lauren and Nick Johnson are the new versions.
