Writing for Citius Mag, Ammar Moussa has an excellent analysis of the transfer of national allegiance issue, which has come to the forefront in this country with the success of distance runners in the U.S. Army's World Class Athlete Program.
The army's distance runners are transplanted Kenyans. Most fast-tracked their citizenship by enlisting.
Some in the sport aren't happy about it, and believe this puts a damper on development of distance running in this country.
I come down with Moussa, who notes the U.S. has been enriched rather than diminished by a blend of cultures and perspectives from around the world.
