My question is… is he going to get popped? If so, Kerley and Great Britain will get gold. Ironic given they are likely doping too…
The testing bodies have given up......
If it's something egregious they might bust someone, but they have essentially given up...
I like how she is pointing to an exact point lol
Do we know that the photo is from June or was merely posted in June? He compete in Hungary on the 20th
It is worse than that. If you look at Spazzini's Instargram picture roll he interview's Marcel in a VIDEO on August 2nd.
While you're at it scan down his intragram pics he specializes in drug fueled bodybuilding transformations!
Here Spazzini is proudly connected to Jacobs. Why he would lie?
Why would a self-promoter exaggerate his relationship with the World's Fastest Man...gee

Rather than throw accusations around, I'm going to just believe he's clean until proven dirty.

I would guess that's his ceiling time for the rest of the season, if he runs
You can go ahead and assume it's only around a 9.90 on a standard track, less the 1-2% advantage (about .1-.2 seconds), but then you need to also account for the fact that the wind was only +.1 m/s, meaning that with a max wind, his time would have been about 9.71, and even on that track would be worth a mighty 9.81.
sucks - wouldn't care if it was just him, but my man Tortu is going to lose his gold if Jacobs gets popped.

How do you know the interview was conducted on Aug 2nd? It seems to me if he is doping and trying to conceal ties to the guy you would not be doing an interview with him.
Between not being able to remember Jacobs' name and being an old dude, my first thought was "Why is Regina Jacobs being talked about"?

If you lie you have something to hide
Good work.
This is probably going to haunt him like the pic of Farah and Aden together.
I got a good chuckle out of this. I don't think Mo is losing any sleep at night.........

The British team's had a positive test...

Oh SNAP.

This. Everytime I've seen someone mention the track surface, it gets ignored by the pitchfork wielding mob. He didn't really run 9.80, that Tokyo track inflated times by around 1%. He ran 10.07 or something a few years ago and has run the equivalent of 9.90 in Tokyo. It's not that suspicious. The field was weakened and the Americans ran similar times to their tune up races in Europe when you factor in the 1% inflation. ( I haven't seen what mondo track design is used at Hayward field, but it is probably similar to Tokyo judging by the times). The track is the real controversy here.
Hallelujah! Thank goodness someone has noticed the white elephant in the room and can make rational observations about what the times in Tokyo were really worth.
It's so obvious that each successive Olympics (and to some extent World Champs) they unveil a slightly faster track. That, together with the improved spikes, probably make this 100m worth more like high 9.9.

Some 26 year old guy nobody’s ever heard of suddenly becomes the fastest sprinter in the world, nothing suspicious about that.
Those that really follow the sport all year round have certainly been aware of him for the past several seasons. He's LJ'd a windy 8.60, and there are dozens of examples (mainly US athletes) of world class LJs who can also sprint, and vice versa.
The date is real because it's the same as the girl's, she too posted in her Instagram pics with Spazzini in his center the same day. Also in June Jacobs was nearly unknown so Spazzini had no real motive to post a false date and pic.

Marcell took 5 doping tests in Tokyo. If they all turn up clean, you must leave him be.
You can avoid positive results easily, à la Marion Jones’ doping calendar

Kerley didn't come out of nowhere. Jacobs's 10.03 PR pre-2021 is in no universe euqivalent to Kerley's 43-mid 400s from 2016-17. And, yes, that 43-mid from a speed-based 400 runner does strongly indicate sub-10 100 speed.

I've been aware of Jacobs for the past year or so. I saw his performances in the Euro championship meets. Knew he had potential. 9.8, though, seems a bridge too far and something that isn't the product solely of talent, nor of talent + gray area shenanigans, but of a crazy fast track, or hardcore doping, or both.
