Looks like one of the favorites might not be running in Beijing this year. At first, I was kind of excited to read this since it'll give our runners a better chance, but the more I think about it, I'm kind of pissed. This should be a really strong field and an exciting race even if Haile doesn't run, but how much better will it be if he does?<br>
How could the IOC have overlooked the conditions there when they accepted China's bid for the Olympics. Elite runners shouldn't have to make the choice between competing in the Olympics or staying away for their health.
