Where is Gault's "insinuation"? It was a question. But it says volumes about what you suspect if you think it points to Jackson being a doper. Oops.
It was following something YOU implied endlessly until YOU humiliated yourself by adding Coe’s take 😂😂😂😂😂
The question was valid regardless of how it might be answered. That is the point. Hence Lord Coe could form a different view on the subject it raised from me, or anyone else. But you need a minimum level of intelligence to understand that. Sadly, that is something you and most of the other posters here lack.
I didn't see anything wrong with the question. Good interviewers ask open-ended questions. There are many different angles she could've taken in an answer.
Every open-ended question is not a good question. A good question yields an interesting insight from the interviewee. Whether or not Gault's question was valid is irrelevant. It was a bad question because Jackson clearly saw it as an attempt to bait her into saying something controversial and she was not going there.
Her defensiveness was an insight. I doubt a clean athlete would have had a problem acknowledging she was close to a doped record.
I reviewed the interview in question and some colleagues and I talked about it on an email chain. We have definitely noticed a disturbing trend in the way that LetsRun "journalists" have treated black athletes vs white athletes. Runner's World doesn't do pieces like this; I think this would make for a good NYT piece
You produced an academic reference and quote that says the phrase should no longer be used as it was racist yet you continued to mock with bile by pointingly repeating it.
And you persistently kept saying all the medical text books were wrong.
No, I don't. Your operation didn't go well.
You said many things that contradict accepted science and morality and persisted in this despite reference to medical books and your own academic proof that you persistently use racist phrases.
I can’t believe armstronglivs can humiliate himself so many times in one discussion👋🏼
The strange thing is I don't feel humiliated. But I do feel sorry. For you.
Ok; would think that he is incapable of humiliation as he produces his own evidence that he uses racist phrases and persisted in saying that the bladder is part of the digestive system.

She said it was a legitimate world record; why do you tell fibs?

It doesn't matter what Jackson thinks of the WR. What changes if she thinks it's not clean? No one is talking seriously about expunging Flo Jo's records. All Jackson knows if what time she needs to run to break it.
As she said "the world record is the world record". It's on the books, like it or not and asking her about it serves no purpose except to obtain a sound bite.
I didn't mind the question or her non-answer. I wish they asked BTC athletes what their opinion was on Shelby still tagging along. Tho, I think the move out of Portland implicitly answers that. I suspect we might not see her tagging along after that.

Yeah, that's where the hypocrisy comes in. There is no way Gault would ask Sinclaire Johnson if she thinks the 1500 AR is clean.
All you guys attacking Gault are the people who whine how T & F journalists never ask the hard questions. As soon as someone forces athletes to tackle a difficult topic, you run to their defense and reinforce this idea that athletes can just play being offended when they are asked something real.
Sure, the question would have been better if JG was simply more direct, but if we go all fanboy on our athletes, all we'll get is a bunch of superficial questions and answers. I think the question was interesting and I would like to know how SJ actually feels about the record.

More insults from the man who keeps getting banned for insults.

Spare me. There’s nothing “tough” about bum rushing an athlete immediately after she won a race and asking her a poorly worded question in bad taste.

So does that mean you don't accept that Gault's question was valid? Is it only part of what you describe as a "disturbing trend"? On the question relating to Flojo's record it appears Lord Coe might not agree with you.
You said many things that contradict accepted science and morality and persisted in this despite reference to medical books and your own academic proof that you persistently use racist phrases.
The endless repetition of the same fatuous false and ignorant views is proof of one thing only, you are in need of psychiatric help.
