2. The USATF LA Grand Prix-two athletes that the meet was built around, Sydney McLaughlin and Athing Mu have pulled out.
3. Both Mu and McLaughlin are coached by Bobby Kersee.
4. Several reports that Kersee and USATF are at odds over USATF using images to promote meet, but compensation not where Kersee believed it should be.
5. This is playing chicken with a major track meet and the success or failure of the season.
6. Why do we see so few promotions for the LA grand Prix? And how could USATF and Bobby Kersee let this happen?
