In this week's installment of The Spam Folder, Mitch and Sterner rant about legacies, become everything they hate and talk about Tim Tebow and Kim Kardashian, and ask what's left for some of the greatest athletes of all-time (and those who are making their case to be mentioned in that conversation).
The list of athletes not competing at the 2013 IAAF World Championships continues to grow. Olympic 1,500-meter gold medalist Taoufik Makhloufi will not compete in Moscow after battling a viral infection, which has kept him from training in the past month. The withdrawl was first reported by El Watan, a French-languge newspaper in Algeria.

There’s a lot of banter that goes undocumented at the Flocasts HQ. We finally decided to publish a few emails in our new series, The Spam Folder. This week, Mitch Kastoff and Ryan Sterner ask who doesn’t want the sport to be clean, what it truly means to be equal, and try to recite as many ‘90s rap lyrics about money as possible.

A new 800-meter world champion will be crowned in Moscow as current Olympic and World Champion David Rudisha has been left off the Kenyan national roster headed to the IAAF World Championships, according to Athletics Weekly. Although Rudisha has an automatic bid to Moscow because he is the defending 800m World champ David Monti of Race Results Weekly has confirmed via twitter that Rudisha will not compete.
Recently I was able to catch up with Arizona Wildcat and NCAA Champion Lawi Lalang. Lawi is coming off of one of his best years ever. During the fall last year Lawi got third place at the NCAA Cross Country Championships. It wasn't exactly what he wanted but it looks as if that fueled him through the winter and on throughout spring because the indoor and outdoor track seasons were very good to Mr. Lalang.
