Many people have stated that Dawn Harper does not know how to promote herself like Lolo. But really, this tiff between her and Lolo is helping her market right now more than anything. She is now getting interviewed more than ever and getting her name out there more. She may not have the back story or virginity of Lolo, but she can sell this fight.
Think about it. The next four years will be filled with the Harper and Lolo fighting and crying. Every major race, championship, and the next Olympics will have some story revolving around this. Dawn Harper gets her 5 minutes of fame, but ironically, it is with the help of Lolo.
As Lolo says....Any publicity for the sport is good for the sport.
