Imagine if Shelby's defense had been "They're trying to bring White People down"

If your reaction would have been different, you need to look in the mirror.

But Grace Nwokocha did not mention race. She did not mention black people or white people .
You snowflakes are injecting race into this thread.

“Something is definitely not right somewhere and no one is ready to put a contest with these people,” she said in a message to The Guardian. “This hatred is increasing daily and everyone is acting cold on it. What I can sense here is that they are trying to bring Africans down because they look down on us too much,”

I find it ironic that Nwokocha, who is banned herself, is saying this because the coach's son at NC A&T - Randolph Ross - also was banned and he's not African.

The truth is, the USA leads the world in whereabouts violations; Africa is not being picked on.

It's ironic because for decades athletes from Africa were able to dope unchecked because those countries had no drug testing infrastructure. Now they are crying because they can't cheat anymore.

Enhanced drug testing in Africa has been a MASSIVE a net positive for the sport because now it's a level playing field. Italy, of all countries, won the Olympic 4x1 and Canada won in 2022. Greece has a Olympic Champion long jumper and the other top long jumpers are Swiss and Chinese. A Norwegian won the 400m hurdles Olympic Gold and another Norwegian won the 1500m. Australia won the women's high jump and javelin in 2022.
