Adidas had planned to run a promotion where the three fastest runners at the NFL Combine’s 40 yard dash — that signed with the company — would receive a Porshe.

According to Darren Rovell of ESPN, the Porsche giveaway has been scrapped because it would have conflicted with the NFL’s partnership with General Motors.
