That's a shame. I'm going to bump this thread. Anyone know what's up?

Went back to McDonald's for the new $15/hr min wage in one of the ultra-liberal cities on the West Coast???

#1 guess is some kind of injury. #2 guess is bad year from mental/emotional burnout.

The real reason is his rise came from EPO. He stopped using when the drug testers were closing in. Now he's back to his normal 1:50 self at all comers meets somewhere.

That leaves a spot for Nick Symmonds!

For all those critics of Nike this is why you have reduction clauses. It helps motivate people. Now Boris can collect $125k for doing nothing. Goodfor him bad for the sport.

He never seemed that bright

New Balance has him going around doing promotional appearances at various running events. Please, stick to your day job.

Looks fit on his instagram. my bet is he'll show up and take some scalps

When is the last day to declare????

Maybe it's a ploy???

Looks like he isn't going to compete this year.

He ate tainted beef.

unclear what's going on. instagram would lead one to believe that he's been training and is healthy, but he hasn't raced all year.

Adams State isn't much of an academic powerhouse. If you find yourself working at McDonalds after graduating from a 4 year college, you should have gone to a different college. FWIW I worked at Burger King when I was 15 and 16, so I know it is nothing to aspire to.

Berian only went to college for a year and then flunked out. Never close to graduating.

According to this flotrack article, Berian has been injured all year and will not compete. No real specifics and Flotrack is full of idiots but this seems legit http://www.flotrack.org/article/57816-usa-men-s-800m-preview-the-ncaa-final-we-never-got-to-see#.WUqrd8aZOgQ
