USATF chairman’s promise unkept on doping education
Four years ago, USATF Masters Chair George Mathews wrote in his monthly National Masters News column: “As you probably already heard, Kathy Jaeger’s two-year suspension has been upheld after review by WAVA. In some ways, WAVA feels the US has not done a good enough job in educating our athletes on the rules of the IAAF anti-doping policies. In response to this, I am asking National Masters News and our Webmaster to provide prominent information on these rule in every issue and on our home page. Rose Munday and her committee will continue to work on other ways to educate our athletes and suggest rule changes that are needed by our Masters athletes.”
I forgive George for misspelling Kathy Jager and Rose Monday, but I’m not letting him off the hook on his promise.
It’s still unkept.
Where in NMN or the masters section of www.usatf.org can one find this anti-doping information?
What has Rose Monday’s committee accomplished?
As my Seattle friend Dave Ortman likes to say: Perspiring minds want to know.
