Bit easier to have a long career when you've missed five years of it because you keep accidentally taking drugs. If he'd served the eight year ban he was originally given, he might have been able to keep going even longer.

Perception is real.
IAAF take notice. When 60,000 fans in a stadium perceive that your champion is a fraud think what the rest of the viewing world and sponsors think.
The 100 m event is not an event where a person can be at the top of the world in 2005 and again in 2017 at 35 years old period.
I did not like seeing Bolt lose.
But did love seeing Gatlin win.
Training for 6 weeks finally caught up to Bolt. He doesn't like to train. He has said it again and again. But he is such a physical freak he has been able to get away with it until now. Father time is always the winner. 6-week training at 30 doesn't work like it does at 19.
it's "deer London"

Most British track fans never supported Chambers after his ban and some did boo him at races.
Personally I wouldn't have boo'd Gatlin but f I
Was American I wouldn't have supported him like some on here are doing.
Bolt was juiced to the max since 2007.
His regime included:
Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
Anabolic Steroids
Stimulants
Epogen products
and to separate himself from the rest of the dopers, he was also on
Stem Cells
Animal Serum (supplied by

Now that WADA has flexed their muscles and forced that hypocrite former doper himself Seb Coe to clean up the sport, the sprinters are off the juice and times has slowed considerably.

I didn't support Gatlin until I thought the boos went too far, and then I started supporting him a little just to balance out the other side a bit.
His first pop was for Ritalin. you must hate all those schoolkids also on it too...

I think the rather mediocre times in the rounds, with only 9.92 needed to win, shows that this is probably the cleanest 100m final in decades, which must have something to do with the IAAF getting more serious with testing.
I personally don't think Bolt did dope during his career, and his loss here was down to age, lack of training, injuries, etc.
If anyone is going to run 9.6, 19.2 clean, it's going to be someone who can run 20.6 at 15.

LOL. You state these as facts! Where are his positive tests?
Please provide your proof he was doping! If you have non, then it is complete conjecture and merely your opinion.

Doping like the others.
30-something world class sprinters was always a thing in the sport going back 50+ years.

Like the Wide World of Wrestling theater. A show.
Is that really what it is coming to? Doping up, prostituting themselves for the glory, like a wanton hollywood actor/actress.
No joke, I think a hostile crowd is more motivating than a supportive crowd. The fight is on!

100% this. Bolt never treated track like a year round obsession like M Johnson or Carl Lewis did. His relaxed mindset helped in him competition but it failed him in several offseasons. He would have broken the 400m record if he loved training.

I really hope you're Justin Gatlin and putting MF in there shows you're a regular here.
You Americans are extremely sensitive. The spectators did not want a proven 2 time drug cheat to win. Deal with it and grow a pair.

Yes they MF did
But not Alan Wells
But not David Millar, Lynford Christie.
Or that darling - Ohurugu. They loved her.
But lets be straight. It was the world champs, it wasn't all British in the stadium, and those that are British love to sing with the crowd.

I agree. 9.58 just screams PED use. Especially when you beat all the best dopers in doing so. One has to question if any of the top athletes are clean. I'm afraid Track and Field is going down the same road comptetive cycling went down.
