Just back from the stadium and I am appalled to see such a blatent doper win gold. I was sitting by the start line, near the front row and she came over to where I was on my victory lap, and all the Koreans were there screaming for her to get autographs. She came over and gave a few. I wanted to boo her, she was literally metres from me, but I just couldn't do it, when I saw how happy the locals were to be near her. It left me pretty upset about the whole thing. Seeing the locals, who know no better, being so happy to be around her. It definetely struck a chord with me!
I did boo her before her heat though when her name was announced and she would definetely have heard! It wont bother her in the slightest but it's the least I can do.
You dont go from 11.4 to 10.6 within 3 years, at such a developed stage of your career!
I don't know if Jeter is a doper or not, but if are going to base it on her performance improvement over 3 years, you would have to include a lot of athletes for example people like Mo Farah, Rupp, Solinski, several Jamaicans, David Oliver the Cuban pole vaulter, the Kenyan steepler who 4 weeks ago ran the 2nd fastest time in history, etc. Also, if I took you or anyone who is slightly built and put you on high protein diet and a strict strength training program, your body will change quite a bit. I have had athletes make a similar type of physical change as Jeter has in less than 3 years.
With that said, read my posts about the anti-doping efforts of WADA. It is not fool proof, but it is lot closer to it than most people think. I spent part of my career in the pharmaceutical industry and there is a lot industry science being applied at the WCs that was previously unavailable. The new techniques are very good. There have not been any announcements yet, but they are onto a few people.
What would say if I told you that Usain Bolt was told to false start in the 100m and to DNS for the 200m and the relay? I find it hard to believe as well and I definitely put it in the rumor category, but let’s see what happens. What I do know is that there are 2 categories of PEDs that were previously undetectable by the time the athlete got to completion, that are now analytically detectable and WC athletes were unaware of this.
