We have no knowledge of an investigation by U.S. law enforcement officials as referenced in The New York Times. If contacted, we will cooperate fully with the authorities. At New York Road Runners we are deeply committed to a clean sport and pride ourselves on recruiting top professional fields for many of our most popular races, including the New York City Marathon. We recruit athletes that create the best competitive atmosphere and align with our values of fair play and commitment to community. In doing so, we work with many athletes, agents, managers, and coaches who are all treated equally throughout that process. Any decisions we make on the recruitment of professional athletes are based on this criteria and IAAF guidelines.
