There has been nothing official said about not posting interviews.
If true, it would be interesting to hear more of the details, both from letsrun and the iaaf.

It probably goes like this:
-large broadcasters, newspapers and the like spend a fair amount of money acquiring the rights etc. in order to put quotes and soundbites with athletes in their for-sale programs and publications
-LRC makes better, full-length interviews with the same athletes and more available for free
-said superior product receives large-scale attention after Semenya etc.
-said large broadcaster, newspapers and the like become aware that some little website is making a better, competing product available for free, threatening their potential income, and tell IAAF to make them stop or there will be fiscal repercussions
-goodbye LRC interview videos

Get a clue, brick head, the brojo's have published an offical statement within several race reports already.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE INTEREST OR RESPECT FOR THE SPORT OR THIS SITE TO ACTUALLY READ THE FRONT PAGE REPORTS, THEN DO NOT OFFER AN OPINION, YOU JUST SOUND LIKE AN IGNORANT POMPOUS JACK ASS TRYING TO SOUND LIKE YOU KNOW MORE THAN THE READERS WHO ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION TO THE FRONT PAGE AND WHAT THE BROJO'S HAVE SAID OFFICIALLY.
==WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID TO EVEN POST SOMETHING SO ABSOLUTELY OUT OF LINE WITH THE FACTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN PUBLISHED????
Relax; there is a big difference between an "official statement" and a vague parenthetical buried deep in a second-page article in a subsection about a B-team American between "Dan said he was reasonably pleased" and "He said 'I feel reasonably pleased'..." I don't feel ignorant for not catching that one.
Face it, neither IAAF nor letsrun has exactly gone out of their way to call attention to this. You can't blame people for being confused/skeptical.

It is because George Bush doesn't care about black people, and because the BroJos are close to the Bushes.
