Will Khalid Khannouchi USA skip the OlympicsTrails ?

He has stated several times the 2004 is a major goal for him. I talked to him in late '99 about how he might run the trials and he basically said the trials are only run just to qualify, since the American trials are so close to the Olympics it is not worth running for time. From what I remember reading, he doesn't have any interest in the 2003 World Championships.

I think you're right, an Olympic Gold would not hurt his pocket book.

Yeomanator is absolutely right Khalid has emphasized that

the 2004 Olympic Trials is crucial in his attempt to win the Olympic Gold Medal. Khalid expressed his desire to represent the USA healthy and fit in the Olympics after his 2001 World Marathon. In 2003 Khalid has stated that he would like to run well in London and possibly qualify for the Worlds in the 10000m in training goes properly! I hope he does QUALIFY for the 10000m and do well after lowering his own World Record in the marathon and see if he will lose AOY then!

I haven't seen where he is committed to the 2004 Flora London marathon yet, have you?

He has committed to London 2003, there was a story on the lestsrun homepage about it. Since the trials are in 2004 near that time, I doubt he will be chasing any money anywhere in 2004. I think 2004 will be all about preparing for Athens.

He'll have to skip the race when he inevitably tests positive.

Jason

Who will test posititve first you or Khalid? The way I see it if he's dirty than so are you! Say Jason why don't you try beating Khalid in a marathon instead of beating him with your random, unfounded, pointless, ignorant, simple,

trifling, repetitous, harmful, slanderous, and old acquistions!

Vipam

Hey Jason he'll be running 2003 London, 2004 Olympic Trials, and 2004 Olympics. GO FORTH JASON OF THE ORIENT AND SMITE DOWN YOUR OPPONENT WITH THE SPEED OF GAZELLE AND

WIND OF THE NORTH.

ooooooooh yeah, I *AM* very dirrrrrty!!! oooooh what I did to a woman last week....NASTY PERVERTED SHIT!!

BUNG HOLE!!!!

ELECTRODES!!!!

NIPPLE CLIPS!!!!

NINE VOLT BATTERIES!!!

That's really interesting Jason, but we were wondering what you did to her, not what you did to yourself.

Your allegations and other BS is getting a little nauseating. Either crap or get off the pot. If you think you are so in the know about KK and his drug escapades, come up with real facts and proof of it. Otherwise, I think you should maybe concentrate on catching up to him at the Trials. As fast as you think you are, you're still almost three miles behind him.

My, my that interesting!

We are quietly arranging to have Khalid assualted during the 2003 London Marathon. What happened to Nancy Kerrigan in 1994 is going to look like a tweak on the nose compared to what we are planning for Khalid in London.

Even if I'm injured I'll turn up and punch Jason in the face. Got to get my 2 cents in!
