Summary: Nick Symmonds, the recently retired 800m track star sits down with Pete Hitzeman to discuss how he went out on his own terms. We cover the dispute with USA Track & Field that led to him being left off the 2015 world team, and the absurdity of professional athletes literally starving under rules built for amateur athletics. He minces no words about the International Olympic Committee, his thoughts on doping in international sports, and the roots of east African dominance in the middle and long distances.
