IAAF meet. Shoes were prototypes? If so, rule 143 violation, and immediate DQ.

It's not the plate, it's the plate and the zoom x foam that provide the efficiency boost. No one is saying it's cheating by wearing them, it's an IAAF RULE 143 VIOLATION b/c they AREN'T available to the public. That is the new rules. There is no way anyone is going to be wearing prototypes at the WC this summer, so they better start producing this stuff. DQ's will be too easy for one company to file a protest and get someone Dq'ed. I sure hope the pros are smart about this, or it's going to cost them.
Yes, someone who gets it. It's the prototype factor. It doesn't matter that the shoe aids. It's the fact the shoe isn't available to everyone. It's in the IAAF rule 143 only. USATF doesn't have this provision in their own rule 143.
Everyone arguing about whether they are advantaged is missing the point.
A bit## beacuse she moans about the Nike Oregen project??

A serious athlete who doesn't cheat
Just wanted to give a shout out for the "If only I could tell you who I am" expert guy putting down (in his own head, from his mom's basement no doubt) that other guy. Because the act of just saying this has, of course, made YOU the definitive authority on the subject ?
By the way I am a leading comedy screenwriter (love to say who but I just can't) and me and the other chaps / chappettes all just had a great laugh reading your post. Keep up the hilarious work ?
