The Athletics Thread (... but predominantly about Bolt)

[Pablo]

Oh yes. I've also said numerous times on here I'm in favour of a completely open Druglympics. What tv that would be!

100m in 8 seconds? Yes please!

3m high jump? Bring it on!

Article said one of them withdrew from the weekend's European meet.
In unrelated observations, 2004 4x100 gold medalist Sherone Simpson was on the starting list at Madrid but did not race.

I'd say it's not Bolt. A big name, but not Bolt. Or Blake. Or Carter.

You will in the future get your wish IMO.

They won't be able to stop gen doping.

Operations so you get stronger muscles. It is cheating but you can't call it doping. Replace whole muscles.

Replace a lung to get better lung capacity. Operations that make you see better.

Etc.

Operations so you get bigger feets will be a problem in swimming.

Tyson Gay pulled out of Moscow after testing positive. Says he "put his trust in someone and was let down."

American athletics program continues to prove that it's amongst the most corrupt in the world.

Oh well as long as they've got Justin Gatlin to cheer on in Moscow all will be well.
