NY was RIGGED

Shut up, Schultz. Changing your username to say essentially the same thing fools no one.

Yeah they probably paid the Kenyans to take a dive, 10 years from know when the Kenyans are finished collecting their pay in increments, we will find out.

LOL so obviously rigged so Shalane could win and retire. Rigged.

They also gave her a minute "visual buffer" at the end, so they wouldn't be in any of the camera pictures.

Just like LRC's WeJo did when pacing Paula in Chicago. He let her run the final mile herself for visuals, and finished a minute behind.

....and 'they' let Meb run a 2:15 when we all knew he was only capable of a 2:17.

Yeah, USADA let him have 2 minutes of EPO under the radar.

First, it's the IAAF that permits doping, then demands bribes to bury the positive.

Second the average doper just needs to lay off the EPO about a week out and they will get all the benefits and never test positive.

Usada and every other nado act at the direction of sports federations. They have no authority to take action on their own.

If a Russian won the Moscow marathon "unexpectedly", this indeed would be the Western explanation.

Yeah it all seems too perfect, and Shalane was really confident in her interview yesterday. Bad actress.

The other women are better actresses. Didn't make it look too obvious, had Keitany "run against the wind" the whole way as an excuse, etc.

"Too perfect"??? I wouldn't call 'not letting an American woman win NYC for 40 years' perfect. I suppose the Astros taking the series was rigged too?

Yep, reward for enduring Hurricane Harvey. Fits the media optics well.

Considering that there's been zero USA women capable of winning a fair NYC marathon race for 40 years, this is a non sequitur.

Fits the media narrative. Big money was definitely slipped under the table to make it happen.

You don't think Joanie could have done it?
