have any US mid d/distance runners tested positive in the last 5 years? Decker was a long time ago, as was Jacobs.

No, but notice we don't get any medals.

Rowbury, dude, Rowbury

When was the last time an American Distance runner (a famed one at that), tested positive?

Like Alan Webb, Dathan, Hall, etc.?

"To know that I've tested positive as a result of product that I used for personal reasons is extremely difficult to wrap my hands around."

wow, product must have worked really well. he has pretty big hands.

I always wonder who buys those products.

Why the hell is a black guy taking extenze in the first place?

I bet he thought... hmmmm would I rather be known for being a drug cheat or having a small pecker?

all the more reason for Tyson Gay to move up to the 400

Can't say I buy that excuse. I can't believe a world class sprinter would take a male enhancement product without doing a little research to figure out if it contains any banned substances. No one could be that stupid. He's lying.

Well, he could actually be THAT stupid :-)

Btw, much better excuse than toothpaste

This is right - he is blocked at 100/200 but could be golden at 400 now. 44 mid wins in London - hard to believe he won't be able to do that.

Those 100/200 guys have such pride though - very few move up. Felix...who else?

wait a minute its not april 1st is it?

No kidding. His excuse definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. # 1 ranked guy in the world doesn't know what he's putting into his body... doubt it. Unless, like you said, he really is that stupid.

In trying to find a funny picture of Merritt's junk in a spandex suit, I came across this:

1) Damn these guys are jacked

2) WTF is with the size of their shorts?? Why would you train in a parachute?

This press release is written to make us feel sympathetic towards Merritt but no one should. He is a professional athlete who is responsible for knowing what he is ingesting, and the make up of those items, in relation to the USADA list. There has also been plenty of talk about male enhancement products as possible performance enhancers (outside of the bedroom!). There is no excuse, and consequently no sympathy.

i dont see any sympathy for Doug Logan in his quote from the article

"This is not frivolous. It is something he selfishly did, as he acknowledges. This young man is going to find himself the object of a lot of unnecessary jokes."

So in agreeing with Doug Logan let the jokes begin

I would rather admit to doping to the gills even if it was untrue than to come forward and say that my dope test came back positive because I was trying for a bigger pecker.

Local paper's story on it...

http://hamptonroads.com/2010/04/lashawn-merritt-suspended-use-banned-substance

dude is a well-off black athlete, no problem getting chicks

that said... still can't blame him for wanting to be a little bigger

i think he owes us the measurements. pre-drug: 5.3 inch length, 1.1 inch diameter. post-drug: you know you want to know

Wejo, shouldnt it say Super Small on the letsrun homepage?

Everybody is forgetting one important and hard-to-swallow fact here: if the product achieved its intended purpose--giving LaSM longer, harder wood--any gain in speed would have been counterbalanced by the extra weight he was carrying around.

Bad to the bone, indeed.
