Even if ALL of what you say is true, how does that justify not participating in the run-off or how she has conducted herself since. You can try to justify almost anything with conspiracy theories, but in this case it just doesn't work. She has conducted herself without class and that is on her and no one else.

oh she ran the heats? Those tweets are from 3 days ago though. Pretty unprofessional.
Im pretty sure if you had a dream to run in the olympics, did what you had to do ; worked hard to get there and when you get there someone tells you that you cant run. Hmmmmm i think all of us would be pretty damn upset. especially after all the crap she had to go thru with that 100m that alot of people thinks she won.

Your kidding right?
I'll admit I'm talking off of pure emotion here. I just got back from dinner and know no actual facts but when I read that, my first reaction was, "I hope there is some way she can file a lawsuit."
How in God's name can they leave off a women that got royally screwed? If anything, they should just run the same team that ran today. They almost got the OR.
People talk about her whining? Well wouldn't you whine? You were told you were an Olympian. Then got screwed as they didn't do the drawing of straws (which was in the rule book as the USA final was nothing more than the 1st round of the Olympics) despite what anyone says.
The public sentiment should be 100% behind her. Period.
I am going to assume you are joking and leave my response at that.
Tarmoh didn't deserve to be on the 4x100 team. She's proved for the past few weeks--ever since the trials--that she has a bad attitude. She's moody (can't blame her for the initial mood, of course, but still), she badmouthes people including her fellow teammates.
She's been carrying a s--tload of negative energy. Who needs that? The team sure as hell didn't. And look at the result. Four aces and a team gold. THAT is a team. Those four women, in their post-race interviews, made clear not just why they were chosen, but why they triumphed: hard work and positive energy. Tarmoh would have crucially crimped that energy-flow.
Kudos to the coaching staff for choosing correctly.
The useless Jeneba Tarmoh has now FAILED to qualify for the 2016 Olympic 100m team, and did not even earn a relay spot.
In fact, she didn't even make the semi's.
I'm glad. I called it 4 years ago. This was the turd who didn't want to do a run-off against Felix. Like I said back then, I would have booted her off the team right then and there.
Hey Tarmoh, don't let the door hit your A$S on the way out.
YOU SUCK.
All you kids out there: you get a shot, YOU TAKE IT. Do your best, compete honorably, and respect the sport and your competitors.
