Sorry, Gatlin. 3.4 is a lot of wind. And sub-20 ain't what it used to be. In case you haven't heard, there is a Jamaican fella out there who runs more than a second faster than that, wind-legal.

did you miss the post that said he ran a legal 20.49 a couple of weeks ago? or did you just want to skip over that fact so you could bash Gatlin

20.49 you say?!!! Holy crap I didn't realize he was running that fast! I take back what I said. Bolt, you better look out. Gatlin is only 1.3 seconds off your WR.

Wow it's going to be really exciting watching Bolt run races by himself.

Apparently if you can't break the WR you shouldn't run/race.

In my OP I didn't mention anything about drugs.

Perry transferred from UF before he received his degree. He did attend UF but did not graduate from UF. I believe that is what CoachK was referring. You may also kindly pack your bags and remove yourself from the message board.

And you thought you would throw down the knowledge... Willie Perry did attend UF did he not? You can pack your bags and join Coach.

I never said that. I implied that 20.36 with a 3.4 tailwind was weak sauce for a guy who wants to regain his former throne as speed king, especially since Usain Bolt has run 19.19.

Then some idiot was all like, "Oh Yeah?! Well he ran 20.49 a couple weeks ago, WIND LEGAL. Maybe you missed that! derherher, lol." As if that somehow disproved my point. So I replied sarcastically to a stupid comment.

Really what's going on here is I'm taking jabs at a drug cheat who isn't anywhere near Bolt's level and probably never will be. I would rather keep track of class acts like Tyson Gay and some other up and comers who might actually give Bolt a run for his money.

How many peoples lives were ruined by this sprinter? I wonder if guilt and shame can actually slow a man down. That is, if he is a man.......

most national associations with any spine would have banned him for life.

'I am getting a little tired of the labels. Every sport has rules and we play by the rules or we get sanctioned. Gatlin got his sanctioning. And it was a long time, not the slap on the wrist that Lashawn Merrit got. The rules sys he can compete now.'

The rules need changing

Until that we are going to keep on complaining

You need to decide which side you are on

Promising start, but realistically what do you think of his chances of making a comeback (he's 29 by the way)?

I guess I'll be revising my prediction.
