Hey Athletic Fans,

We begin our evening session with a former 1500m Olympic champion facing a shocking incident where he was drugged and robbed. On the other hand, this track coach has choice words for Sha’Carri Richardson, Alexis Ohanian, and others over canceling the NYC Athlos show this late in the track and field season.

All that and more in tonight's edition of Essentially Athletics.

⚡Why this is even more shocking: This unfortunate incident took place in the Olympic Champ’s hometown.
