Mondo would be an example as well if he hadn't competed for Sweden within the last three years.

Transfer of Allegiance is one of those Coe initiatives that lead me to believe that he's not the man to move the sport forward. This rule is a joke (but the previous rule was no better). Why? Because the penalty for transfer is longer than the penalty for a PED positive test. Now which one is greater threat to the sport?

He declined to compete for Antigua at Rio in 2016.
Not sure when he submitted his request to transfer allegiance to USA but hope he will be good to go for 2019 Worlds.
He should have no problem with the credibility and citizenship requirements.

Obviously it's in Nike's interest to have him run for the US over a country with 100,000 people, and I expect they structured the contract to be consistent with that. In particular, if running for Antigua he wouldn't be able to benefit from bonuses for placing high at the US trials or breaking the American record.
