Weight?[edit]

I see Ritz' weight is listed as 117 pounds, apparently with ^[1] as the source. I have to question this, however. in 2005, his weight was listed as 117 lbs.^[2], but three years later, for the Beijing Olympics, he was listed as 126 lbs. ^[3]

117 puts him at a BMI of well under 18, and he simply doesn't look that skinny. Doesn't anyone have reliable current info on his weight? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frimmin (talk • contribs) 00:56, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Left nike, and nike controversy[edit]

Near the top, the article correctly says that he has left Nike. Under, under Coaching, it says he still has a relationship with Nike.

The NY Times says "Ritzenhein still runs competitively, but is without a sponsor, having left the Nike-funded program in May 2014."

https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/05/19/sports/nike-oregon-project-alberto-salazar-dathan-ritzenhein.html

Also, this article is mainly about his (inadvertent?) involvement in a Nike doping scandal, so maybe that should be part of the article, also.
