Old Guy raised an interesting point--member of other sex pacing runner. Is bad. Is no good.
Weldon's Chicago marathon time, last year, should not count as qualifying him for the Olympic Trials. The reason is simple: Weldon was paced by a girl. If women should be concerned when they are paced by men, then damnit, men should be concerned when paced by a woman. And there are LOTS of men who are paced by women. Disqualify every last one of them!
Yo dawg

I knew what this post would be as soon as I read the thread title - even so, still pretty funny.
Ryan,
Don't you think that he should still be eligible for the women's Oly trials?
Yo yo yo.

p.s. I believe that Weldon had already qualified for the men's trials at NYC before his assisted race at Chicago, so I think he should be allowed in. As I have said elsewhere, however, reasonable people may disagree.
Yo and out.
That's the problem: should a man, running a woman's time, with a woman, and essentially as a woman, be allowed to compete in the womens olympic trials? I say no--because a man ain't no woman. Should he, however, be disqualified from the mens trials? Yes, of course, because he ain't no man if he's running a womans time, with a woman, and essentially as a woman---and perhaps, most importantly, aided by a woman during the course of competition. All prior "good" times must be suspended until evidence of unassisted ability to run time in current times (unassisted means, unassisted by a woman).WEJO must prove his manhood and run a new qualifying time.

If he gets a sex change would he then be eligible for the women's trials without running another marathon? Or would he have to run another marathon as a woman UNASSISTED?
If he demonstrated adequate 'pectoral bounce' would bend your tough guy rules and let him into the women's trials just this one time?
I'm sticking to my guns: once a man always a man, regardless of whether you get it cut off. Of course, this begs the guestion of whether the person who runs with women during races ever was a man.

Then I should be disqualified since I was PUSHED by Q-chan at Berlin.

I find that funny...I know I know.
Tell me why exactly you find this funny? What's funny is Weldon's reliance on a female pacer.

Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
