Just give it up. Please.

Mathew Centrowitz came out of nowhere?

I had not heard of Makhloufi before London.

Yes, I watch races in places other than the US. I am not even American.

I am not here to say whether Makhloufi is clean or not but he did raise the question; 'who is this guy?'

Now we know him. We know who he is.

I am not American either. I can assure you that for non-Americans (unless they read letsrun message boards) Centrowitz came totally out of nowhere (who outside US gives a shit about some NCAA competition?)

And since then, every year, he runs nothing during the season but then comes and places high in the championship races. I'm sure people on North-African letsrun believe he's on drugs.

It will be very interesting to see what T Makh (not to be confused with the OG T Mac, Tracy McGrady) does the rest of the year.

I'ts not just non-Americans that would make the comparison between Matt Centrowitz and Rashid Ramzi, just like I draw the comparison between his coach and Charlie Francis.

But "who outside US gives a shit about some NCAA competition?" ?? Many of the people at or near the top of world sprinting and hurdling are presently going to Florida, Baylor, USC, and such, including the #1 in the world in the 200, and including USC where both a student athlete and his coach are in the top 5 of the 110H. I guarantee that the people running Diamond League and the people running anti-doping programs are paying attention...and the folks in Jamaica are paying attention. Probably the only people too stupid still think UK athletics are somehow important.

But this points out how out of touch people on this message board really are. Yes, Doha was a good meet (but Shanghai will like be a better one). But to most of the world (including SI and Universal Sports), Doha was mostly about Fraser-Pryce:

You can see this also if you look at the views on Youtube. Doha was also about:

Maslak setting a national record in the 400 but losing badly to Merritt.

David Oliver in the hurdles

Pavel Maslak could be the next Wariner, but you wouldn't know it from this site.

Distance fans are in denial, and that's why it's a dying/dead sport.

Kiprop and Obiri compared to Fraser-Pryce? Seriously? Most track fans, particularly Europeans, would put them under the heading "nameless Africas that nobody cares about."
