13335927, Agreed - she's coming back as a 3000m runner though

The CAS ruling, which was pretty clearly targeting her (and Wambui and Nyansaba, to a lesser degree) only applies to 400-1500m races. I loved watching her run the 800m so it's a bummer that this has happened, but I rather love that her "fuck you" stance is so strong she's willing to move up. 3000m flat isn't an Olympic or WC event, so I guess she'll have to decide if she wants to learn to hurdle at 3000m, which isn't really much of an issue for Kenyan steeplers, who consistently look like they've never gone over barriers before, or move all the way to 5000m.

Until then, 3000m at the Prefontaine Classic on June 30th.
