Symmonds won 800m silver at the 2013 worlds in Moscow, but will not be making the journey to Beijing on account of his refusal to don a Just Do It T-shirt even while showering before bedtime (I paraphrase, but only slightly). To clarify: Symmonds, who is sponsored by Brooks, was entirely happy to wear the Team USA gear in competition, in training, at any awards ceremony, and for press conferences. What he took issue with – and really, who do these uppity trackbots think they are? – is USATF’s stipulation that he should “pack ONLY Team USA, Nike or non-branded apparel”, to prevent a single off-brand moment even during his downtime in the athletes’ hotel.
