Sorry dude,
The email I received back from you or your brother was exactly as I described it.
Which is why I then went on to contact Alberto, several people at Nike, Oregon, and some of your sponsors, one of who dropped you because of the low class nature of this site -- and encourage them all to contact you guys and ask you to better citizens in the sport.
And who cares? First of all, this sport is not the New York Yankees. The Yankees have more fans in the USA than Track does.
You want to know who cares? I care. And about a half dozen high class posters on this site the past few weeks.
Who cares? People who know these people personally and know them to be good people -- who would never act as accused on this site, and who, would never act with the behavior you do on this site, or the behavior you permit.
Now, you want to stay on track?
How about you get smarter? I am not going to do your work for you, but I will tell you there is ONE reporter who would have salivated to take this on and attack Nike and work with you on this. And you are not informed enough to know who that reporter is.
BUT, the thing is, and this is where your intelligence seriously comes into question, a handful of people post on this thread (and frankly I am glad a bunch did hours and hours before I logged) that you and your site cannot be taken seriously as a journalistic source because you have a bad reputation for what you have allowed on this board.
It's a legit complaint.
