Good to see some real change coming from the efforts of whistleblowers and USADA

And interestingly there's change at UA too:

They've been super aggressive in the space in the last couple of years, even buying apps like Mapmyrun and Endomondo.  They have a very captive audience.  It would be nice to see some disruption in the stranglehold that Nike has had in the space.

NOP rebranding under assistant coach Pete Julian

He's keeping 7 of his athletes. No word yet on Hasay, Rupp, Hasan, Kejelcha.
