Any reason why the process is so slow? It's almost 5 months since the incident occurred. The major sports would have handed down a judgement in a week or two at most. Why the delay? Ironic that a sport celebrating the fastest, farthest and highest also takes the longest to resolve matters.
I aslo note Lassiter has not submitted an entry for the upcoming Indoor Championships. Is indoors not a focus for him or is it directly or indirectly due to the pending investigation? --- USATF Communications <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Malmo: > > It's by no means a "secret tribunal."
