Yeah that was unfortunate. I also thought it was some sort of set-up. It seemed too "coincidental" that they both pulled the same muscle of the same leg in the same race.

The taunting is really just that. It heats things up for fans sake, money, etc.

Maurice is a close, personal friend of mine and the SWEETEST person you would ever want to know. He's actually really shy and introverted. The taunting is a big show. I am not too thrilled about it, but what can I say?

I do think that the taunting may be sending an inappropriate message to younger runners. I watched a high school invitaional and Long Beach Poly (favored) had one girl on their team...I wanna say she was running the 4x4 meter relay. She was the last leg of the race and when she passed her opponents, she looked at them as she was passing as if to say "Oopps, I'm passing y'all. Perhaps you shoulda stayed home."

I think once you go pro, you can look at whomever however, but when you are still learning, it's best to be as humble as possible. You just never know what's in store for you when you're in 10th grade...even if you are the favorite.
