Lamont Marcell Jacobs deserves more respect and attention

He moved to Italy when he was three weeks old and grew up in Italy. He lives in Italy today. His mother is Italian. Typical Letsrun racism.

Marcell is going to rewrite the books. Sorry, Bolt.

So should Olympic medals achieved by Americans be invalidated if they're not specifically of Anglo descent? Or should we go further back and invalidate any Olympic medal that wasn't achieved by a Native American?

You're pathetic.

Seen a lot of track, have never thought.....gotta be drugs......because of a sudden improvement, that sucks guy.

Why do people keep saying this? It isn't true. He started training for the 100m in 2016, NOT 2019. He has only long jumped twice since 2016, and only indoors. He was training and competing in the 100m for FOUR YEARS, running between 10.3 and 10.1 the entire time. The suddenly he cuts a quarter second off his time? Running a time that only 12 other people have run, and of those 12, 9 of them have been suspended for doping or doping related offenses? (And of the 3 "clean" athletes at least one of them was actively campaigning against testing old samples after he retired)

The biggest red flag though, is the lying about his personal trainer. When he straight lied and said he had nothing to do with the guy anymore, and pics came out of the two hanging out arm in arm well after the period he supposedly had nothing to do with the guy...the obvious lying is one of the main reasons people think he is a doper.

hopefully the alignment works.
