From the letsrun message board. I assume that this guy must be talking about
t-and-f and not TFN unless malmo took up gh's offer to pen a screed. I won't

I would love to see the days return when you have 15,000 turn out for a UCLA
vs. USC dual meet. The last few years, the turnouts have increased
significantly at the dual between these two.
This is the kind of interest we need to help revive TF in the USA.

and Eugene-
what is the IAAF recognizing this year, and at what level?

Give the fans what we really want-a monthly column by Malmo. With all due
respect to the author of the editors column, I would venture a guess that
it would increase circulation exponentially.
I can see it now. People lined up at their mailboxes screaming Mal-mo,
Mal-mo, Mal-mo.

Doesn't work like that, sadly. Individual writers rarely increase
circulation by much. Trust me, I know. My magazine, Athletics Today,
had the best writers on the sport in the UK (OK so we also had a column
by Linford Christie, maybe that cancelled it out) but couldn't overtake
Athletics
This could be a fun addition the mag though - the monthly rant. One
month on drugs ... the next month on how racewalkers are all cheaters ...
the next month on Jon Entine ... the next month on the ineptness of USATF's
media policy...
Darn it, I see I'm too late to call dibs on the new mascot.

Randall,
sorry I didn't include closed captioning for the sarcastically impaired
(eventhough I think the column could be a great thing, but definitely not
Malmo's style or venue). Good advice to TnF News though.

Has everyone finally got Marion and Tim and Charlie out of their systems, so

To paraphrase economics, talk about bad talk driving out good. Once
everybody quits one of these beserk drug-driven threads, there's nobody left
to post.

Nope. As I said before, the UK press has been the toughest on Jones et
al.
We regard all the nandrolone cases as exceptional and we concluded a
doping offense hadn't been committed, said UK Athletics' performance
director Max Jones. We don't regard Linford Christie as a drugs cheat.
LOL.

It's the doping that has an insidious effect on
the sport, not the talk. I'm sure of it.
That may be, but the drugs aren't going away no matter how tight we close
our eyes. The talk (and perception), at least, we have a choice about.
