US 800 champion Nick Symmonds speaks to FloTrack less than 24 hours after finding out that USATF did not select him for a spot on the World Championship team due to him not signing their Statement of Conditions required for all members of Team USA.

In this podcast, Symmonds talks about what he believes USATF has done wrong by forcing athletes to sign the contract, and his plans for making changing to it so he can sign it in the future. Symmonds also claims that USATF only shares 8% of its revenue with its athletes annually, while USATF says that they share 50%. We ask Symmonds how this discrepancy could have developed.
