So, the State Department held Robles out of the meet? How can PRE keep DL status if the US won't give Cubans visas for sport? (or did the Cubans not send him fearing the usual Cuban-American yahoos showing up to protest?)

...The world record holder and reigning champion Robles didn't make it to the US meet due to visa problems.

According to this article he had it approved, but his coach didn't want to travel last minute.

Well, hopefully, next year, it will not be an issue. I don't believe Robles has ever run in the US.
