Michael Johnson:
It was always going to be a difficult situation because through no fault of her own she just happens to have this condition, the IAAF has to make a decision on the line that’s drawn between the female races and the men’s races. I think the decision was based on the fairness of sports, so that there is a level playing field for all of the athletes in any given race.
-
Jim Fitzgerald:
It had to be one of the most difficult decisions anyone would have had to make in life, even if you’re not that close to [ your loved one ], Ted Kaczynski blood runs through your veins, too. And you have to make a decision on whether to just leave Ted Kaczynski alone and let Ted Kaczynski do what Ted Kaczynski does, which is killing people, or come forward and try to save lives. I have no doubt, and I know for a fact, that this was very difficult for David. He kept trying to talk himself out of it.
-
Juergen Maier:
Enough is enough. We are all running out of patience. Make a decision and unite around a customs union compromise that delivers economic security and stability.
