Alan Webb's got Robby's back: "He does not 'pass' off the track per the ruling. He is forced off after the pass.&quot

Just talked with Dennis Mitchell. He says Andrews should be allowed to do a solo race by himself to try and qualify on time.

Just returned from a brief trip to hell after a near-death experience (long story). Bumped into Harambe and Barbaro while I was down there. Harambe felt it was unjust to shoot down Andrews' Olympic hopes due to a situation that wasn't really his fault. Barbaro was concerned that Andrews ankle scrape could prove to be more serious than initially believed.

I just read on Runners World that Andrews should not be DQ'ed along with 5 recipes to lose weight and how to break 30 minutes in the 5K.

So I was on ICQ with Dieter Baumann and he said Robby should brush it off and come back the next Olympic Games

I've been exchanging Western Union telegrams with John L. Parker. He is going to release a bonus chapter to Once a Runner in e-book format on Amazon tonight in which Quentin Cassidy states that Robby Andrews should show up for the final in a Canadian singlet after paying Brazilians to kidnap Nate Brannen and kick past Asbel Kiprop in the final 100 meters to win.

Just got done on Periscope with El Guerrouj who completely agrees that Robby shouldn't have been DQd.

I was facetiming Brahim Lahlafi. He thought the move was crazy but certainly didn't constitute a DQ

Just left the Law Offices of Jackie Chiles. Jackie said, "This a clear violation of Robbie's rights as a miler. It's an infringement on his constitutional rights. It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous."

I just spoke with Bernie Sanders. He says it's not fair that we give the medals to the winners of the races who are genetically privileged, and instead we should give them to the hobby joggers at home wishing they were Olympic athletes.

Bernster also says that Robbie had no room to pass, but it\'s not fair (and very triggering) that some get to advance and others don\'t, so everyone should advance.

That's funny, I was facesitting Brahim when Robby stepped over and the way I interpreted the grunting was that darm, that's definitely a DQ (bad tactics same as intent here.)

I was just communing with Jesus and he said "And know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time. Also, that Robbie Andrew DQ is complete bullshit."

Moses here, Jesus told me that Robbie didn't really step on the track, there was a puddle there and Robbie ran right on top of it , definitely no DQ, it's a miracle.

Best thread of the Olympics! Gold Medal!!!!

Yesss

Saw Kerouac and Kemboi having a beer. Kemboi said Kemboi wouldn't try a move like that. Kerouac said he had to hit the road but thought Andrew's move was groovy.

To allow a pass like that will change the sport in a bad way. In the heat of the moment, Andrews made a bad choice. Seven in that heat were going to qualify, he had other options.
