Yes. His agent Ray Flynn told me Rooks fell during the race and his arm is currently in a sling. They're trying to determine whether he broke his clavicle.

Did you ask him anything about Nia Akins?

He definitely hurt himself by running in Silesia. His coach should have pulled him after he won silver and sent him home. There is no value to showing up at a DL meet only to drop out of camera view by 200m.

Rooks, …. fell over a barrier 4 1/2 laps into the 7 1/2-lap race and landed hard on his right shoulder. …. this time he required several seconds before he was able to resume running. He was clutching his right arm as he crossed the finish line.
Rooks was taken by ambulance from the stadium to a local hospital.
BYU coach Ed Eyestone, who watched the race on TV in Provo, received reports from Rooks’ wife, Taylor. “Looks like no breaks or dislocation,” said the coach. “He’s coming home tomorrow. We’ll get him checked out when he gets home.”431 -
Even been in a Polish hospital...?
Even been in a Turkish prison...?

the pack lengthened out, and he'd fallen off the pace already, so he was rarely in shot past a point, but you could see him in the background of celebratory shots at the end of his race, and he had his arm crossed across his chest like he was hurt.
i buy it.

No value?
Fast times racing fast competition on a fast track.
Money.
The rest of the world's elite runners seem to get it.
Just not American distance distance runners, who have mostly disappeared from sight post-Paris. (With the exception of Grant Fisher racing the best in a 3000 WR run.)
Suspicious?

The nice thing about Rooks is we already know from the trials last year and the Olympics this year, that he really isn't the kind of guy who would fake an injury.
