I copied this from my other thread...
"Why do you think Tyson Gay was crying? Do you think it was only for him? He was crying for the sport he loves. I'm not dramatizing that as I truly believe it. The cleanest U.S. sprinter was beaten by the dirtiest on the world stage. Justin Gatlin on the podium? Not as good look. It makes me want to cry for T&F too. "
Adding my respect to the list.
Tyson Gay, thank you! You reprepresented my country well.
Tyson has never used drugs, not once. He is probably one of maybe a handful of sprinters at this level that can say that.
As far as I'm concerned he was the first clean finisher. The only other clean guy in the field was probably Churandy. I don't know enough about Bailey to make a judgement but I suspect he is likely clean. Our sport gets no respect because its so juiced.
9.63 is not a real time. Any non-doped man over 6'2" training to sprint that fast would get injured.

You had to bring the BS to this thread? It's called the Tyson Gay appreciation thread. Not the I hate Bolt thread. That one is somewhere down the list and it's not getting much hits.
Tyson Gay will be remembered for his guts, and for the medals he did not win this year and in 2008. Yes, it hurts.
Yes, Bolt and Blake. Yes, Tyson Gay.
Jamaic Loves you Tyson Gay! you are a true sportsman and you have nothing to be ashamed about you represented your country well and only one can win the gold and while I am glad my countryman triumphed you also set the gold standard for class and dignity! the best is yet to come my yute!!!!!! God Bless you.. nuff Jamaican Love to you... (P.S. you know you are welcome to Jamaica anytime we love having you you are like a native son)
The man was in tears and could hardly speak after the race. My heart goes out to him. I don't think anyone wanted it more than Tyson, and there's not a better guy in the sprint world. Really feel for him.
Respect.
I am a huge fan of Tyson Gay. He came back from serious injuries to run 9.80 and he is first in line for medals when the positive(s) come back. He carries himself always with class and put everything he had. With full health and training, you know that he would have gotten silver and had a shot at Bolt, given the latter's poor start.
His post race comments were humble and classy. I happened to stay on line to watch it, and having never been a sprint fan, was super impressed with Tyson. And I guess I was enough of a sprint fan to be pissed that he didn't lean enough on Gatlin. Gay earned the bronze... Gatlin stole it.
Agree! Clean or not today - who cares? He did it once... and would surely do it again, if he thought he could get away with it. He has shown where he stands when it comes to sportsmanship.
But if a guy who prefer a fair competition runs in 0.01 sec behind, he is the one deserving the medal.
Gay Alert!!!! Gay Alert!!!!!!
Who's gonna kiss his beautiful round ass first--is it Tony?
I guess it's true... best way to push suspicions from yourself is to place them on others.
Tyson is the class of the sport. No showboating, no excuses, just hard work, amazing talent, and some ridiculous results. 2nd fastest man ever is nothing to be ashamed of.
