Then again I don't watch other professional sports. No matter how "popular" they are, I don't see the appeal to watching drugged up jocks smash into each other. That's my opinion. Whether I'm important or not, I care about track. Quality > Quantity

You literally said both of these in the same post.

Just so we're clear, you do not value jealousy, xenophobia, lying, or cheating to win, but you have no problem calling all football players "drugged up jocks" smashing into each other.

What about that strikes you as inconsistent?

It is amazing she continues to come to these boards. You criticize her for generalizing a subset of the population and your username is "dumb girls".

Can we just all agree that NOP is great for the sport since it now has a villain? They are like Miami U in the 80's or the Pistons in the early 90's. I would bet this has been Letsrun's biggest traffic month since the launch of the site.

If Gatlin is actually clean and wants to convince people that he's clean, he shouldn't be acting so sensitive and unfriendly to the media about these types of questions. Especially given that every member of the NOP have spoken out about doping allegations. I don't think NOP is doping, but I'm not convinced with Gatlin at all.

Gatlin is clean? I'd bet my house he's not. Hasn't been for a very very long time. He actually came back from his second drug suspension and ran faster? That makes no sense. More laughable is this idea that track wants to be portrayed as wanting to be clean, yet they still allow drug cheats back in the sport. Should be a one and done system. Caught once and you are out. But there might not be many athletes left to compete.

At what point do we actually take a look at our sport and openly accept the fact that to be competitive on the world stage you need artificial enhancers? Why not just make this stuff legal? Is the slop that slippery?

BTW Letsrun, keep asking the hard questions. No softballs. If they don't like the hard question, don't cheat.
