Seriously, all of his fast ones were on fast courses (London, Chicago). No Olympic glory or anything. No NYC or Boston, which are challenging. He needs to win one of those.

Have to agree. Fast races on fast courses with rabbit help doesn't make you the greatest. Have to win the tough ones also.
Cut him a little slack, the races he has won - Chicago and London are more stacked than the Olympics usually. Look at London a few years back - he outkicked Tergat and HaileG. Nevermind the other guys left in his wake.
He doesn't have an Olympic medal, which I agree knocks him out of contention, but how many of the Olympics have been won by guys who were the overriding favorite? Not too many, it's a real toss up. However since Chicago and London are super-competitive, KK has to be in at least the top 10 of all time. If not 5.
anyone else find it odd that he is so "desperate" to get US citizenship for the 2000 olympics, and then is injured for even the TRIALS of every event? You'd think if it was his dream to compete, he would at least attempt at qualifying, considering how far ahead he is of the other US distance runners. I know it could cause more injury, but he was training anyway. Has he EVER competed in an Olympic, World Championship, or World Atheltics final? Has he ever competed in any tested venue?
E - P - O.
or...he has been competing at a high level since 1995 and training at that high level eventually takes its toll and you are going to get injured every so often. look at his quote on the front page yesterday.
Same thing is happening to Geb right now...
You are an idiot.
London and Chicago test more stringently than WC or OG.
They have done blood and urine tests at both London and Chicago in recent years.
