If Nike pulls back any for any additional sponsorship of TandF this sport would crater. Busting cheaters is great, but this sport losing money and track clubs and also losing the marketing of Nike is terrible.
It can’t survive with small clubs like Hoka and NAZ.
The end of professional distance running will be great for the sport. It will herald in the new Amateur Era and we can enjoy more crazy guys like Kawauchi in running races. The corrupt coaches, agents, doctors, and managers will mostly disappear from the sport and the doping problem in Africa related to running will also mostly disappear. The main option for doping will be state organized doping and in today's day and age this will be easy to detect and take down.
