a 4D chess way of "proving" your 9.7 is clean is openly doping and running 9.4

It will be interesting to see if there is a big jump in performance and by how much. There are no legitimate studies on the effects of PEDs on world class athletes because they are not allowed to take them and would never admit to it if they did.
If there is no jump, the conclusion must be either (1) he was already using or (2) they don't work as well as many people think.
If there is a jump, we can get an idea of how well they work since I'm sure his drug schedule will be publicly known.
Gkolomev managed to have roughly 0.4s improvement in the 50m freestyle from his previous season (~2 %). So I would suspect that it's about 0.2s in 100m.
During this season Kerley ran 9.98s, so doped it would be 9.78s

I enjoy following Fred, although I wish he'd get it together with all of the noise in his relationships and general BS he seems to find.
And I have to say his joining the Enhanced Games does not surprise me at all.
Who else can we predict would do this?
Erriyon Knighton. Ruth Chepnegitch. Mr. Khandie or whatever that Kenyan dude's name was. PARVEJ FREAKIN KHAN. And all the doped up Kenyans who got caught. All the guys who have been banned as they deserve just line up I bet.

What these athletes should realize is that if this league flops/fails to pay them like GST, there is no going back after openly using PEDS. If it makes it one year it's just wraps for everyone. Don't even think the money's worth that. Plus you get to always know you were a dirty cheating loser who was nothing without drugs

In swimming you will retire being broke anyway. Your income barely covers basic costs of living and the situation is largely the same in athletics

Have we ever seen a runner so determined to ruin their own life? The last thing a guy with anger issues needs is a bunch of steroids in his system.
He still had them in his system duh
But, now he can go up to WWE steroid levels. Has to be a difference. I know I don't want to be anywhere near him when he's angry.

another funny/sad thing about this is that i have a lot more faith that the silicon valley tech crypto ai bros who are responsible for this event actually have secured the funding for this, unlike michael johnson

Surly Kerley has reached new low but he must have bills to pay.
That's exactly what I'm assuming as well. But how much can this possibly pay? And if we've learned anything with startup track events, get your money upfront.

You don't have to use PEDs to compete right? Can he or anyone just get the sign up bonus (500k?), train as normal, run a clean regular time, win or lose and that be that?
Yes. Truth is, Fred can run clean in this new league and still win all the time.

yes but Seb Coe has previously stated anyone that competes in the Enhanced Games would not be welcome back to WA events.

There is a lot of social media stuff hinting he has overextended himself financially.

Good thing Seb had his blood samples destroyed a few years ago when he changed the rules to destroy all samples over 8 years old.

Man Fred wtf?!?! Used to be a fan but he's pushed me all the way to a full blown hater now. Arrests, bad results, whereabouts failures, and now this... it ain't a good look! Only thing now I'd be interested to see is him an' Money Mayweather goin' head to head tryna read a page of Tolstoy aloud for a million bucks, one hour time limit and points system for pronunciation.

kerley has way more issues than any of us know about...he is toast as far as track goes so why not join the freak show and make some $$$$. He can lunch with the little trumps. Reminds me of Requiem For a Heavyweight where Mountain Rivera is washed up as a boxer so he becomes a freak show wrestler.

Disgusting, and makes me look at his "clean" results in a whole different way.
I also don't see how he can legally dope, at least in the United States. Is there a real doctor prescribing him stuff? The doctor should be investigated by licensing authorities. Is he taking illegally imported steroids, etc? Whoever is supplying him should be investigated. You certainly read about illegal steroids being imported and sold to bodybuilders and the suppliers are prosecuted.

There's lots of legal dope. Lots of SARMs and peptides and stuff you can just buy online. Those are likely to be more dangerous as they're significantly less studied. More traditional doping, e.g. EPO, deca, etc., has dangerous side effects, but we know what they are and how to mitigate them and cycle the drugs appropriately.

Reasons why he’s broke: pending divorce, pending child support, criminal charges and resulting legal bills, no shoe sponsor, lack of GST payout, now 30 years old (old for sprints), banned from pro T&F, no other career options ahead of him.
Also, he got his car stolen last year and I can see he’s the type of guy not to have auto insurance due to hubris.
