Sha’Carri has a personality, get used to it

Seems like you are convinced marijuana enhanced her performance. But you are unable to provide a single reference or even a claim by anyone of any repute that marijuana enhances athletic performance.

Oops, sorry about that Clown Show.

Where’s your transcript evidence for her tying the drug to being able to perform? Your point is like saying eating food enhances performance because otherwise she wouldn’t be able to perform, a true but pointless claim.

Your food claim just shows how clueless you are. If a food would be banned then you could not eat it. It would be perormance enhancing and banned, which would mean penalization for the use. There was also a time when epo wasnt banned for example. You played yourself

Your point above appears to be conflating the banning of a substance with the claim that it is performance enhancing. Not the case for pot. No scientific evidence. Even USAF doesn’t think it enhances performance.

Your earlier point was that she needed pot for her mental health in order to be able to physically perform at all, therefore you claimed she abused it for performance. My response was that that conflates the necessity of something for survival (like food or air) with necessity for performance because survival is a precondition for performing.

PS: Reasonable discourse usually attacks the argument instead of calling the other person clueless or other names.

BTW, I'm in the minority who believes everybody dopes. So. IMO, if Sha'Carri is a doper it doesn't bother me.

…

Btw, I believe that too and it wouldn’t bother me either if she doped. In fact I’d be surprised if she doped much less than the norm among other contemporary sprinters.

I’ve come to truly accept the rules of the game, namely that you are not a doper until proven otherwise by a failed test. What other option does sports have? Any time one codifies a rule or set of procedures, you are implicitly telling the athletes that staying within those boundaries is not only permitted but you’d be foolish not to exploit coming as close to the boundary as you can without overstepping it.

So I pay no attention to LR posts abundantly rife with doping accusations. The real world doesn’t care what they consumed, only whether they failed a test.

How should an athlete show their individuality? Can they not be expressive in their own way? It seems like a women expressing her self with her style and her attitude is a threat to most of LRs posters.

And in what way would someone be threatened by her style and attitude? Interesting that there were 8 other women in that race who regularly conduct themselves with class and professionalism and yet you choose Sha'Carri to be your flag bearer.

Flag bearer? Nahh just notice how people attack what is not their normal. Especially when women do it. Just observation.

That is correct. Do you have children? Do you you teach them proper behavior or do you allow them to do whatever they want and say whatever they want?

Can you site another example of ANY athlete calling out their competition prior to an event/game, perform poorly and NOT get heavily criticized?

First I present Pre quote.

"For me, running against the Poles and Czechs would be like running against high school kids. And I hate all this gung-ho, run-for-the-red-white-and-blue attitude that the AAU spouts. If that's important to some people, fine, more power to 'em. But, damn it, I wish they'd leave me alone to do what I want to do - run against the best."

She easy to root against.

Maybe a villain is good for the sport.

Too many good guys in the sport.

Its time track learns something from WWE and make up some heroes and some villains for people to cheer/jeer.

Picture SR talking trash at the starting line to the other runners or someone calling out another runner in a press conference b4 a meet? Lunging at each other. Some female runner questioning the sex of another competitor? Athing Mu vs Caster? What would the ratings be for that? And the rematch?

Remember people trash on Engles for being different too so it's not a racial thing. We all just want a villain so we can have our heroes.

Yup, not caring for her attention seeking personality is understandable, but I don’t understand the mob attacks.

Not sure “threat” is what LR posters feel by the likes of her coz why would they feel threatened by her? Am actually not sure what triggers it, but the comments do betray a knee-jerk visceral kind of hate for her.

Second

Bolt in many races shrugged competition off before the race looking straight into the camera.

He also made multiple quotes to his opponents to come and get him if they can.

Third

Come on MJ with the Gold shoes? That is as in your face as can be....

OHHHH and the Great Mo Farah! You think the Mo Bot wasn't arrogant?

No your history if you are going to be on here talking mess about 1 athlete.

No way, I’ve never seen LR trashing Engles. He is LR’s adored darling child, even more than Centro. Engels seems like a totally fine pleasant guy, but I truly don’t understand the universal adoration for him.
