So he skipped USAs in the 5k to run a diamond league 5k the week before? BTC would have been killed for doing that.
BTC would have run an intersquad time trial with no cameras or documentation of it occurring.
This is exactly my point. This has never happened. BTC has never participated in a race that was not livestreamed, and every "time trial" they participate in has been open to everyone with fairly deep fields (no, the pandemic doesn't count). At least be correct.
