Bolt Withdraws From Adidas Grand Prix With Injury

this meet looks to have the deepest fields EVER for a US Meet. Yes, Bolt is a HUGE draw, but the other fields are crazy deep. People sit and complain about track, lack of meets, etc and then we get a SUPER Diamond Meet, and folks complain because the big superstar is hurt. Track, and this meet in particular is so much deeper than that. Just to watch Dibaba make a run at a WR is worth the price of admission.

The sport will never let Bolt test positive for drugs of any kind. This sort of thing is what happens. It starts with an "injury" of a short time that then lasts the rest of the season. Then there is "surgery" and a lost season and finally in May of 2012 Bolt returns.

Now I could easily be wrong but if he had tested positive does anyone think it would be made public? Look at what happened after Ben Johnson's positive.

In Jamaica all winners were to be tested but he wasn't. He is the least tested world record holder in any event.

if track wants clean comp then all tests, not just busts but clean ones need to be posted on-line. Only provides sport transparency it desperately needs.

I'm afraid the DLs are watered down GL meets with only half the events, a sort of stop-gap for the duration of the global recession. I hope they can restore the GL meets after the world economy comes back. Even then the best meet in N.A. was not an IAAF Permit nor IAAF GP meet. The former Adidas Classic at the Home Depot track in Carson was the most incredible I've ever seen with WC/Oly medalists in nearly every lane of the one lappers and shorter. It was a breeze for meet organizers to get a field like that given the many Oly/WC medalists live and train a few minutes down the freeway in the huge L.A. metro area. Too bad AEG never finished construction else we could have had some fans. I can't blame the fans given the Home Depot track still to this day has no toilets, no running water, no shade, no seat backs, no pavement, no food concessions. Plus the press box was built on the wrong side of the track so hundreds of members of the L.A. TV and newspaper media were clogged down at field level with everyone else.

Read Conte's texts about how easy USADA/WADA makes it for Armstrong, Bolt, Solinski, Ryan Hall, etc. to prepare for testers way ahead of time. Basically, drug testing is a charade, a scam designed by sports industry to let dopers get away with it. The Horse Racing industry is the only sport where real testing is done, on horses and jockeys. But even then, they still can't catch designer drugs.

Gosh, "drug dope truth," you just extrapolated that whole thing based on no facts whatsoever.

That's true and that will be the way it is for as long as we live. Sports governs itself because there's no crime in doping. Bolt, Solinski, Michael Phelps, Apolo Ono, Tim Lincecum, etc. can freely dope with the approval of fans.

Is Týson Gay even going to be at the NYC meet?
