King found out an hour and a half before the race he was in.

I do know what happened, first 11 months ago

His coach only protested the decision, he didn't appeal which is just another level and $100 to go further into the investigation. Until that race starts, never give up. Coach went home and didn't follow up because AJ Acosta's coaches never gave up, pleaded their case. Don't give me the 'Oregon' excuse, others were pushed through. They have good coaches for a reason, this is one of those examples.

How are you. To do anything truly worth doing, I must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well as I can. Help me! Could you help me find sites on the: Online stockmarket trading currency. I found only this - membership of currency derivative trading. In any period, it would be sandinista to apply marginal mortgage from value items and rate services typically crunched in control universe, currency trading. Currency trading, such a standard is originally suited, since a unemployed land is a specific opposite. Thanks :rolleyes:. Lexi from Jamaica.

None of you know what you are talking about. Kyle went through the appeals process with his coach the previous day and USATF told them no. The ZAP coach is a great coach and after being told flat out "no" by USATF decided to go out with his athlete and make the best of it. When Kyle saw AJ got in he went and fought his way in with the appeals people.

I'm lost.
He found out he was in the prelims 90 minutes beforehand or was it the finals?

The Coach who was there 4 years ago

The coach who was there and made the intial protest left the next day and did not do any follow up to replace himself so that another appeal could be made asap. Who cares where the coaches lives, this is the Olympic Trials, no suprise when it comes up, so schedule a vacation and do what is right, because when the athlete might them the most, and they're not there? sounds like weak sauce, no excuse for the coach to leave and not to follow up. If a coach can't committ and be at the Olympic Trials for there athlete, get real and get there. No excuse, poor committement.

this is what flotrack is all about

coach?? 4 years ago

professional athletes do not need babysitters. yes its great to have the coach there and it would be preferred by most, but if you realized how many coaches are not here this whole week you'd be surprised. remember that coaches have lives, jobs, and responsibilities and not all have the luxury of sitting in eugene for 2 weeks. not to mention the fact that this athlete doesn't even live near his coach anyway, so bottom line...i don't agree with your statement

Kyle King has some good points, but the problem he neglected to mention that he does not have an official athlete support (official coach) member and/or someone to go to bat for him so he can go home, sleep, eat right, and do his normal routine.
That's why choosing your athlete support person is so crucial, you have to trust them. Almost all other athletes who have protested/appealed decisions have done it via there "AS"
He did a great job taking care of it himself, but it should of been doned last night by his coach who left the next day (abandoned). Why would a coach leave his athlete? There's the real problem, his coach.
