What I learned from Emma Coburn's American record beating performance is that ratification is a process with rules and requirements:

What Emma learned is that all those other runners who hire real agents are fools who are wasting their $$$. Because she knew better than everyone else, she hired an ignorant agent (herself) who didn't know the rules. If she'd hired a real agent, she would been told to ask for a drug test, and she'd have been the official AR holder.
But as the poets say: All's well that ends well!
