Agreed.

Who in their right mind/s at USATF would make or endorse the decision to have a doper (all expenses paid for by membership/sponsors I presume) to be associated in any which way with team USA?

Other countries are politely scratching their heads...

We are not bolstering our status in the world arena of clean sport nations by entrusting a drug cheat to coach our athletes.

Where has logic gone?

The US is ruled by Political Correctness. Think about all of this. Really think about it. Then ask yourself who and why. The people who loudly make fun of 'conspiracy theories' are generally neck deep in no good, and they've trained everyone else to deny and ridicule as a knee-jerk reaction. The US if finished and you can't even see it. It needs to collapse before it can be fixed.

Have you seen USATF's NIKE sponsorship deal? Well, other than one apparently exists, we don't actually know the details. But hey, let's all pretend lke USATF.

LOOK AT ALL THE MONEY AND BIG NAME SPONSORS USATF HAS SIGNED. MONEY!!! MEDIA RIGHTS!!! MONEY!!!!

That's the logic. Doping is okay because it makes money. When USA-ians podium in Rio, none other than Ms. Hightower will take the opportunity to rename USA Track and Field to "Nike USA brought to you by Nike."

Doping is perfectly okay as long as the athlete increases the visibility of the sport. I'm not sure why this is not more common knowledge.

Ban Dennis Mitchell from EVER again coaching a US team and NOT because of DOPING but INCOMPETENCE as a coach for relays.

3 of 4 in the 4x200 under him at Worlds past 2 years DQ. On top of DQ tonight he pulled fast starting Joe Morris for final and put Wallace Spearmon who is notorious bad starter on lead off. Morris's split into the monster headwind was .25 faster than Wallace ran in final with about same headwind.

Then even if the 2nd exchange is clean it would not have mattered as Dennis' star pupil, Gatlin, is lined up well past end of exchange zone. How can he not realize this? He was in zone for first exchange instead of final exchange!

This is middle school type of BS.

People can spin it any way they want, but there's no justification for having Mitchell coach USA teams. And let's hope this is finally the last time.

Until coach mitchell is asked by someone in the media he has no one to answer too. All the questions from personnel to orders of relays will not b asked by anyone to him or anyone in the usatf. Can u image of this happen to usa basketball. Coach K would b upfront and answer these tough questions. Until the hard questions are asked. No one will know the answers

Tom, tell us all about Maurice Mitchell one more time.

I dont have to. His performance at penn relays and last year at usa champs did. Do u have another question. Id b happy to answer it.

Still waiting for ur next question . Hows the weather in st.louis today. Good luck at your conference meet this week.
