Justin Gatlin and the IAAF make me sick

I have been thinking this is exactly what letsrun needs. A thread full of ridiculously long posts as well as replies with those ridiculously long posts quoted. And the majority of the posts are by a bunch of cry babies. Thank you.

I want to thank God for the hopelessly corrupt IAAF.

I want to thank God that the IAAF is entertainment wrestling 2.0. There is no way they are turning Bolt positive.

God's wisdom and the IAAF gave us the perfect Rio broadcast ratings generator, Gatlin v. Bolt.

Good job God.

The iaaf can take down either of them

tomorrow with isotope test .

Gatlin gone after worlds or olympics.

Conditions in doha were perfect though.

And once again bolt will look holyer than....

bolt had serious steroids in mix before.

Gatlin never had that option for 6-7

month winter training of non testing.

And neither was gatlin taking IGF-1 lr3

as a teenager ,who knowes how much

taking it progressed performance at important developemental years .

mightnt be quite as fast .

Teenagers doping eh at least gatlin

waited till college .

Are you referring to carbon isotope ratio testing?

Isn't that how they popped Gatlin for testosterone? His levels were actually less than 1:1 but the test detected synthetic testosterone and he got banned. Reason his test levels were so low was due to training fatigue + coming off steroid cycles.

IGF-1 lrc keeps the pop in your legs, so I agree that it helped tall Bolt more than anyone else. But just plain great for beating mother nature, probably also what gave Lagat the pop to run 4:54/3:54 for 2000m/mile. It's like the 'anti-age.' Certainly helped Kim Collins!

The real question is, where is blake?

You wanna talk about drugs... the guy runs a 19.26 out of complete nowhere. Let's not forget his 9.69. That dude was on some serious stuff!

Bottom line is, randomize your drug tests so as not to literally offer additional convenience to someone trying to synchronize their doping cycles with your testing dates, and kick dopers like Gatlin and Gay out of this sport forever, because there's no room for cheating and lying in a sport that relies so heavily on the integrity and honesty of fair competition.

This will not work if the IAAF are still not willing to follow up blood tests appropriately. For example, who was the British star who was never tested properly despite having highly abnormal blood test results seen by the IAAF; who were the dozens of Kenyan and Ethiopian athletes who also had abnormal blood test results and yet were never tested properly. Why did this happen? If I were you, I would be more annoyed by this as Gatlin was at least "outed" as a doper. Not that it made any difference to his being able to compete anyway.
