"I wouldn't mind if someone would have broken that record because it's
gratifying to see the sport move forward. But to have it taken away?
That feels like a little bit of a cheap shot. To have it stripped from
you, when no drugs were involved, when no scandal was involved, is
just hard to believe."
- Deena Kastor on having the American record in the marathon go in the
IAAF's eyes from Kastor's 2:19:36, not to her 2:21:16 or Joan Benoit's
2:21:21, but rather to Joan Benoit's 2:24:52. The IAAF in all its
stupidity has said women's world records set in mixed races should no
longer count. They'll count in the LetsRun.com record books. Nice read
from New York Times.
