And by this I am alluding to the idea that he is meant to not lose any major competition because the IAAF would lose major $. An emotional Justin Gatlin felt helpless settling for 2nd after a dream season and his form "broke down" on one of the most important races of his life? Thoughts?

It happens in boxing, it happens in soccer, it happens in football...where the big organizations protects the big name or big team and some of the contests seem fixed. Today's race made me skeptical about track and field...

Yeah and that's why the IAAF protected bolt when the threw him out with a false start a few years ago when he didn't even false start.

Mayweather fights aren't fixed, today's judges are just overimpressed by punch counts.

He is the 4'9" 120 lbs version of Bolt.

Seriously, Mayweather wouldn't last 1 round in the ring against Bolt, if Bolt put his mind to it. You simply can not beat a guy who's double your weight.

Case closed.

I'm being serious, not sarcastic. I haven't seen all his fights, but I have never seen one where he took more of a beating than his opponent. Have you?

No, he's the Ronda Roussey. Unbeatable and weirdly sexy

My thoughts are the guy is a proven two-time cheater and now at age 34 somehow is running much faster than when he was 26 and doped. What goes around comes around. If this were the newcomers De Grasse or Brommel (hope I got the spelling right) I would have compassion for a dream season..... For Gatlin I feel nothing regardless of his emotional plea. I think he was on a big stage and fought himself late causing his form to shutter. There is no drug for that as far as I know.
