Next Sunday it will be the Pittsburgh Marathon with DICKS SPORTING GOODS as the key sponsor. There promo's include returning champion Stephen Njoroge from Hebron.
Start emailing the race director now at Pittsburgh Three Rivers Marathon, Inc. that testing should be mandatory for ALL prize winners and runners that have been compensated for expenses.
The P3R organization promises an exceptional experience for runners which should include a fair and transparent race - drug testing should be part of the experience, IMO
Write the P3R board (Mr Stanley Parker is listed as the topdog) and it appears
ryan.hogan@p3r.org
sends the invites to compensated elites. If an elite accepts compensation for travel and lodging they should also be tested.
Over $100K in prize money at stake - let's hope clean competitors win it and cheats are exposed
