Rumor: Rupp and Ritz are out of Chicago

Anything to report?

I was wrong about Rupp and I was wrong on my guess because I said they'd both be out. LR, forgive me for my freshman views on all things running related.

But I know for a fact that the trials won't be in Atlanta, they are changing them next week to Houston because of the heat AND hills. Wait for it.

Rupp not mentioned in Berlin preview of Chicago contenders

Okay. I'm paying attention. When will Rupp say he's out and do a mic drop? At the starting line?

I wasn't guessing last year and I'm not guessing this year. I find it odd that the Johnson Bros. don't have any inside info when it comes to these kind of things.

Why is that odd? No self respecting elite would ever share any inside information with them. They're backstabbers, rumor mongers, and gossip artists. This forum causes far more negativity and damage than any positivity for the sport.

Yes, I was guessing both times and obviously Rupp is running. Oh well, I tried to sound intelligent.

Let me try again. No Ritz or Rupp this year in Chicago.

Editor's Note: Jon Gault reached out to Rupp's agent Ricky Simms on why he didn't run a tuneup race this fall and whether he is still running Chicago. Simms responded, "Galen is all set for Chicago – it will be his next race."

You're running out of time to not look like an idiot and a liar.

The original post is from someone who is close with CP. Both Ritz and Rupp tried to pull out of Chicago within days of the original post. CP and Nike told Rupp to stay in it for marketing purposes. Rupp will be paid from both Nike and Chicago Marathon for a DNF.

We are witnessing the highest paid DNF in history. Just watch.

It's obvious Galena is going to DNF. I wonder what his future in the sport is like in general. Forget Alberto -- G is banged up for sure.

What/who is CP?

CP = Carey Pinkowski, the Chicago marathon race director.

This thread is the biggest fail of the day.

OP is going to have to change his unregistered handle after this embarrassment. Will be quite difficult.

Both did drop. Ritz 2 weeks ago. Rupp at 23miles.

“No Rupp in Chicago” was patently false.

I heard the last 3 miles were not Rupp certified so he was advised not to go any further
