Former NC A&T sprinter Grace Nwokocha says Tobi Amsuan's suspension is because people are trying to bring "Africans down"

It has always amazed me how those who are blind to their own preclusions accuse others of what they are guilty of. When you see racism in everything, you need to look in the mirror. Most of those you label "racists" are people who are just trying to look at things objectively. By definition, that is not racist. When you look at everything through the lens of race, that is, by definition, racist. And it is those people who are driving the division.

“Blind to their own preclusions.” Please explain what this means. What are my preclusions? Your post shows you are either willfully ignorant or truly unaware to the point of idiocy. I am aware that you believe that racism was miraculously extinguished and that any repercussions of its prior existence are trivial. What a fool you are.

Imagine if Shelby's defense had been "They're trying to bring White People down"

If your reaction would have been different, you need to look in the mirror.

It is telling that Rojo seemed to go to bat for Shelby in her burrito doping defense whereas he is mocking this woman’s comments, and it is not clear to me that the burrito defense is any less mock worthy than saying they want to bring Africans down. I admit that racism is alive and well in this thread BUT of course that is not the same as saying her comments are particularly relevant to any particular doping bust.

Ha ha ha yes. Racism and burritos are both alive and well, but neither caused those doping busts for steroids.

But Grace Nwokocha did not mention race. She did not mention black people or white people .
You snowflakes are injecting race into this thread.

Another liar here. She is discussing Africans and she appears to be concerned about Nigerians in particular. Do the lies ever end with you people?

Only an utter clown cannot differentiate between nationality and race

The fact this has 8 upvotes and 0 downvotes tells me all I need to know about this forum's racist tendencies. Plenty of Europeans doped all throughout the pre-2000 era, lest we forget! And Italy winning the 4x1 with Tortu + Jacobs is not much of a surprise... Greece also had a 100m and 200m title in the early 2000s (who surprise surprise was a doper), and China has had a few good jumpers for years. Mitchell Watt of Australia was medalling in the jumps 10 years ago and their javelin throwers have been active for a long time. Women's High Jump has always been full of white people anyway so I don't even know why you added that...

Literally every single point you made has almost nothing to do with "Africans doping unchecked and not being able to anymore", and you seem to be forgetting that doping in more developed countries is entirely possible and more likely to be covered up in fact.

I grew up in awe of Africans. I was too young when Abebe Bikila and Kip Keino were doing their thing. I started watching track in the 70's and got my first copy of Track and Field News I think in 1973 or 74. But I did read about Filbert Bayi and his Commonwealth win in the most stacked 1500m of all time at that point, and taking down both John Walker and Ben Jipcho. These people from these poor countries kicking butt. But now and over the last few years I am deeply suspicious of many of them. They have so many people busted that they must have a doping machine and regimen that the East Germans and the Russians of the 80's and the Chinese of the 90's would greatly admire. When I see all these guys for instance running 2 hour marathons, I call BS on them!

I grew up in awe of European and their progress and technology.
When I visited more than 30 years ago, I discovered how they are lame,

pretty every silly virtue fit to them and with perfection.

I'm not black.

if u clean, u need to fear nothing and not avoid tests.

I suppose Lamine Diack was innocent too. LOL.

This post getting 13 upvotes and no downvotes is laughable.

I don't ever remember Africans athletes complaining about more drug testing. You're basically implying that all these other countries besides Africans countries definitely aren't doping. You mention events Africans countries have never been dominant in. How is it a level playing field when we keep consistently have doping cases throughout the year?

What goes through your mind when someone from a non-african country test positive? Do you just cancel it from your mind and wish you'd never heard it? Did the Shelby case get you in your feelings?

Testing positive and missing a whereabouts notification are two different things.

You can easily miss when a tester shows up unannounced. Its not like you put down on your schedule weeks in advance that you are running an errand or going out to eat or whatever on the spur of the moment. However missing three is a bit much.

Does anyone have the stats on how many non black track & field athletes have been banned for whereabout misses. If it is the same as blacks, then Nwokocha doesn't have a leg to stand on.

I see someone doesn't know what they speak of.

All races and nationalities are doping
