The same argument occurs on the other side of the Atlantic, but one thing's
for sure.
If MG screws up in Edmonton or comes down with illness and injury and misses
these World Championships and thus cannot be a defending champion when the
2003 championships come around he'll want to run in the 2003 US champs. And
if the governing body tells him they don't want him because he ran only one
round in 2001 he and others (on this list) will bleat about the rights of
athletes etc. ad nauseum.
