Give an actual reason that he is less likely to be doing than Bolt. Go on.

Hey remember when the French suddenly fielded an amazing team in 2008 (both genders) after years of mediocre performance? Remember when a bunch of French sprinters suddenly rewrote the record books? Remember when one specific French runner started destroying times set by known dopers? Remember when it was discovered that drug testing in France was nonexistent?

No? Oh shit. Must be thinking of Jamaica.

Any other questions, cuck?

Relax, Dude. White runners have gotten a few silvers and bronzes at this games. What more do you want? You didn't think they were going to win any running events, did you? Your best bet was a herm (Schippers), but it didn't work out for him/her, but the white women have been giving you more to cheer on than the white guys. I recommend you just enjoy their exploits, and cheer extra hard when Prandini's teammates carry her to a medal.

Is Andrews the guy that was trash talking Ryan Hall and all proud of himself for beating Hall in a road mile that was jumped in for fun ... after running 2:04 in Boston?

White guy wins a sprint medal, i didn't think it was possible during my life time. I would of bet a years salary. Unbelievable. Fourth was white? BTW. ....Bolt is the MAN. Looks like for the time in ages a clean race.

When is the last time no American medal in the 200 olympic final?

Glad this crazy day is over. These Games are a disappointment on so many levels.

Lemaitre looks like a trailer park boy.

Really? I think he looks great:

vivalarepublica, what do YOU look like?

Not like an Olympic medalist I reckon.

So literally nothing except your preconceptions.

I could easily point out how much better Lemaitre has been than other white athletes. Since there are surely many white sprinters who are dopers, then Lemaitre must be doping to be better than them, right?

Does that logic sound stupid? Because it is your argument against Bolt.

Unless you really think that white people dont cheat, only black athletes dope. Then you're both a bigot and a moron.

You have that victim mentality, so sad. I bet didn't have a father at home? It shows.

Following your line of reasoning: If you posit that black people are better sprinters/athletes on average, then you also have to admit the possibility that white/asians/other races are better than black people (on average) in a range of other disciplines (eg. intellectual pursuits such as maths and science).

Bet you don't though, do you?

maybe, but what I saw was her throwing her spikes down

which is interesting because they were Nikes, and then she wore asics on teh podium, aparenlty

Kit manufacturers design podium kit - tracksuit and trainers for many of the NOCs. Pretty sure Mo wore Adidas on the podium, or did in 2012 anyway.
