Mac Fleet in Twitter Beef with Jenny Simpson

Why don't athletes do something to unquestionably prove they are not doping? Rather than just make a claim that they are not doping. Evidence is much more convincing than a tweet or an Instagram picture.

What could athletes do you ask? Become COMPLETELY transparent. Release all blood test results and all prior doping test results. If there is truly nothing to hide, then no athlete should have any problem with this information becoming public.

Until athletes do so, I refuse to accept their anecdotal claims to not be doping.

What is Clean Sport?

Little League just graduated from that, thank God.

Fleetwood Mac has no issues with beef, Twitter, or Jenny Simpson.

Pledging to do something has a slight positive effect. This isn't going to change the entire landscape, but incremental progress is progress.

About as effective as his pledge not to scrw the female athletes he coaches.

+1 for Mac on this one. Clean Sport is a really great concept, but is it *really* effective in the real world? This definitely feel more like a "look at me I'm clean give me attention" type sham than an actual movement.

This. There are a ton of people who use #Athlete that are on board with this. I assure you, they are not athletes. They are Sub-Hobbyjoggers. They want to feel special with this group of people that they could never fit in with in any way.

Good for their ego.

Good for the companies that make money off the marketing trick.

No advancement for the supposed cause.

It is inappropriate for some scrub like Fleet to criticize someone of Jenny Simpson's stature in the sport. In football it would be like Christian Ponder calling out Cam Newton.

Just shut up and go back to obscurity Fleet.

You need to read the tweets first please.

Funny that for years it was rumored that Mac Fleet was in grey area himself while in hs and college.

No it wasn't haha. That's a lie. He didn't even break 9 minutes in high school.

We all know as much as Jenny and Mac on this topic. Anyone can - and should - call others out on things if they have facts to back them up. Here's Mac's explanation (facts).

So an employee of a for profit enterprise can't also work for a non profit? I'm lost.

Can't any company sign up with cleansport and use the certificate as a marketing tool?

The insinuation from this Mac fella is a bit of a stretch.

Conflict of interest - a situation in which a person is in a position to derive personal benefit from actions or decisions made in their official capacity.

Is Mac no longer with OTC? Twitter feed sounds a little "him against the world".

I pledge I am in my running shoes 6 hours a day.

Is it wrong to profit while doing good?

This organization looks oddly familiar:

I give it another two weeks before this clean sport crap disappears and the company runs away with the donation money.

Whether Mac is running well or not, whether I agree with Mac or not, this CleanSport junk will be off the radar by Thanksgiving.

I was thinking the same thing as Mac. Posting some dumb picture saying I'm clean means nothing. Most of these athletes know who's doping and who's not. Also, maybe Jenny can post her list of TUE's that she would not let anyone at USA's ask her about a few years back.

the professional pledge includes a $25,000 donation if ever tested postive, thats a little more than just a temporary tattoo. Especially in a sport with as little money as running. I dont believe there is a right or wrong to this argument between Mac and Jenny, both have valid points and intentions.

Mac Fleet is a nobody that is only getting attention because he is arguing with Jenny Simpson. Jenny is what is great about this sport and Mac Fleet is a loser.
