Tyson Gay Out

I suggested a while ago that there needs to be a professional sprinting league akin to the NFL and NBA. These are the 2 most successful professional sporting organizations in the world, so why not try to start emulating them. The sprint events 400m (specifically the 100 and 200) and below are where ALL the money is, so why not cut out the events that drag down meets and generate little to no fan interest. Then, you can cut out all the bs bureaucratic organizations like the IAAF, WADA, USADA, and all the other -ADA’s, and the usually terrible national federation’s who obsessively attempt to enforce unenforceable and unrealistic standards. The new professional sprinting league would be in charge of everything, including drug testing, like the NFL and NBA. There would be a union for the athletes to ensure that everyone is getting paid and not just Usain Bolt. Much simpler and PROVEN design. And let’s be honest, when was the last time you heard of any NBA player test positive for a PED? When was the last time a big name NFL star tested positive? The protection is already built in. Obviously this would not be popular with the rest of the Track and Field/Athletics world but when almost all of a sports biggest names of past and present are sniped by tests or are in some way associated with a controversy, then that sport is destined to die off. Change needs to be made.
