Obsessive Coverage from an Obsessive Fan: All things pertaining to the highest levels of track & field, road racing, and cross country

Announced just a few hours ago. For a report with enough distance to be impartial, I suggest Canadian Running magazine.
Whether the decision was made due to (significant) negative public opinion and the political fallout that comes with it, or the realization of how bad things are, who knows. Sometimes it takes days to discover the true extent of a disaster.
