Money of morals...
..but morals don't pay the bills. I get it. I'm curious to see what he ends up running. This could be a good opportunity to get some finality on the effects of PEDs in running. Supposedly it's about a quarter of a second for elite sprinters (Tim Montgomery 9.9 to 9.7 in a season on PEDs) but I guess we'll see
Surly Kerley has reached new low but he must have bills to pay.

How embarrassing for him, and that’s saying a lot after the year he’s had, where he embarrassed himself multiple times. This is the nail in the coffin for his pro track career. What about his “pro baseball” career he was supposedly going to have? This will make his future in the track and field arena nonexistent even further.
He's 30 years old and is facing a whereabouts ban. His career was always gonna be on the downturn from here anyway. This was the obvious decision to make.
Maybe they fix his ankle and he runs a 18.99 in the 200m.
ahhh yes...and gotta have that masonic one eye symbolism on the 3rd post. Why is there so much of this BS with high level people? Why back out the other half of his face?
I actually do find this very interesting and hope to see him improve his times enormously.

So he got banned for whereabouts failures, proclaimed his innocence, and then immediately joined the Enhanced Games.
Im embarrassed on his behalf
Well, dopers like him and Syd and Lyles etc have no shame, so don’t feel embarrassed.
How sad. Olympic silver medalist and world champion to the scummiest parts of the sport after an impending ban. Who knows, maybe he could have served his ban and come back and done something, but all of that is in the bin now. Way to ruin your legacy. No one will remember his glory days, only his turn to drugs to stay relevant.

Well considering he's been "enhanced "for years,i doubt he will improve any.
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? wrote:
It will be interesting to see if there is a big jump in performance and by how much. There are no legitimate studies on the effects of PEDs on world class athletes because they are not allowed to take them and would never admit to it if they did.
If there is no jump, the conclusion must be either (1) he was already using or (2) they don't work as well as many people think.
If there is a jump, we can get an idea of how well they work since I'm sure his drug schedule will be publicly known.
He could run sub 9 seconds and the Rekbot will still say there is no proof that peds work.
I enjoy following Fred, although I wish he'd get it together with all of the noise in his relationships and general BS he seems to find.
And I have to say his joining the Enhanced Games does not surprise me at all.
Who else can we predict would do this?
Given his situation, he doesn't even need to do anything different from what he was already doing...
If he tests negative for substances after the race, does he vacate the title and receive a ban?
Have we ever seen a runner so determined to ruin their own life? The last thing a guy with anger issues needs is a bunch of steroids in his system.

He is about to be hit with a lifetime ban by WADA now.
What's the functional difference between a lifetime ban and being banned for your entire "prime"?
