What's with all the hate against Makhloufi???

Ramzi 2.0

I'm not a hater either.

But he does disappear between olympic years and carries a large frame around the track while saving a stupid fast kick in his legs.

The fact that he ran that final a day after he supposedly has not physically able to run an 800 final was a bit suspicious.

Yet another student of Jama "I hold the watch for mo" Aden. He was coached by Aden during his London Olympic gold. Driouch was busted during the same period, as was another female runner of Aden's (epo).

I agree that it may be borderline against the rules because some may say that he didn't put in an honest effort for the 800 since he came back in the final. But that wouldn't be evidence of doping would it?

So now you are a diaper just because someone else with the same coach was? I was coached by the same person as many people who did drugs and other things, and yet here I am, clean as a whistle.

You are what is wrong with the sport of track and field. Instead of celebrating good performances you assume they are drug fueled just because you could never fathom running that fast.

I used to think Makhloufi might be clean and defended him on here... until his former coach Jama Aden got busted with stashes of EPO, validating rumors going back as early as 2010. Now it is obvious he was a doper.

Because he is North African and ran 1:42.

Good guy, great at the bar.

We have eyes don't we? It wasn't the times that are suspicious; it is the ease with which he won. If you watch the rounds and the final of the 2012 Olympics and you've seen world class milers run before, then you are going to be suspicious.

I don't even need to add Jama Aden into the mix because I know what I saw.

Like a picture frame?

Rojo's a right-wing nut, I'm drunk, and Makhloufi is a POS drug-cheat doper

Maybe his secret is carrying a large frame around the track.That's gotta build some muscle.

Ok, so here's the deal: Makhloufi is a bona fide stud and anyone who says otherwise is confused.

Points for:

-Mighty champion who wins with panache.

-By all accounts, a cool and humble dude.

-Is known to perform beastly workouts on the track AND in the weight room

-Good-looking dude

-Hardcore competitor (did you see how disgusted he was getting Silver to Centro in Rio?)

-Good sense of humor plus great smile

Points Against (with rebuttals):

"He didn't run that 800 then won the 1500 cheater cheater"

-Don't hate the player, hate the game

"Oh he's a horrible doper blah blah Jama blah blah"

-No evidence

-Here's the real story (most likely): Our man Makh daddy finds out about Jama doping other athletes and totally isn't comfortable with that. Being a man of principle, Makh leaves Jama. He later turns authorities on to Jama's nefarious activities, which directly leads to the raid in Spain.

Makh daddy: ANTI-DOPING HERO.

I presume that after reading this you will all change your minds and become huge fans of Makh. You are very welcome.

Excellently argued. Let me just add that Aden was also proven by the evidence to being clean, like Salazar. No case to answer.

Whatever else he may be (doper, Algerian-style redneck, etc.), he's a fun guy to watch in a race. Definitely brings excitement to any field.

If you watched the semi final back in 2012, you could tell Makh was going to win. He came out of no where and had an insane, let me repeat, freaking insane kick that we've never really seen before. No back ground. Just dropped out of the sky from Algeria to become Olympic champ.

he didn't just drop out of the sky - he was around for those (not insular americans wrapped up in their own small world, for example) actually following the sport. Did he make a breakthrough? certainly, but that is the venue to do it. Some people actually train for the Olympics (as did Viren back in the day), since it is still the preeminent meet for the sport.

Don't know if he is/was doping - but that is no different for anyone else not caught either. NOBODY is beyond suspicion in this day and age.

I'm betting you don't like girls.
