Update on 4/28: Bekele won't be running Saturday's Trials race. He has also sent a letter to the Ethiopian federation and journalists protesting the fact that a Trials race is even being held as the Ethiopians said they'd pick the team based on fastest times during the qulaifying window and he led that by more than a minute. He says he's 100% healthy and ready to go and if they don't name him to the team, he'll have to consider other options. A jouranlist we spoke to thinks Bekele's appeal ultimately will be successful but that's just his personal opinion.
