We earlier reported that Craig Leon had been overlooked for inclusion on the team with his marathon time and lack of paperwork. Another unforced error on the USATF 's behalf. Quite honestly, a bunch of us and a keg of beer could do a better job...
Tyler McCandless was named as the second marathoner despite Leon's better time. Tyler accepted the invitation and structured his training and life around it. Now, through arbitration, he has been replaced. And he also has accumulated a lot of haters who are unaware of the entire story. Only lawyers will win in the end, as always...
Craig has scant time to get ready, and Tyler is left with the loss of the ability to wear the USA Singlet. When will our National Organization be worthy of our dues and respect?
