100m Olympic champ Marcell Jacobs lied. Here's proof

You don't need to be suspicious of a lot of people to be suspicious of that performance...before Jacobs only 12 men had ever run 9.80 or faster (without wind aid). 9 of those 12 men have served doping bans at some point in their career. That means 75% of all people to run that fast have BEEN CAUGHT cheating....and that's just getting caught.

English article

"His manager Marcello Magnani said injury was not a factor in the decision to take a break, but the time off is a preventative measure.

"It is simply that Marcell has given so much this year, all he had, so to insist [on competing] would only mean risking an injury," Magnani added."

So it's not an injury, but to prevent injury? And leaving a ton of money on the table for sure

He's a doper and a fraud who doesn't want to get exposed. That's why he's leaving all that Diamond League money on the table. Guess who'll be at the Prefontaine Classic in the 100M race on Aug. 21st?

Degrasse, Kerley and Bromell. Degrasse won Gold in the 200M and he ran 3 more rounds at the Olympics than Jacobs did. This guy has NO EXCUSE for not competing until 2022.

The training benefits from the PED's have probably worn off, he's surely in the AIU out of competition testing pool now so it would be harder for him to get away with doping this time, he's under serious scrutiny right now, his dealer ahem "nutritionist" is under investigation for steroids and now he's not competing until next year (if even then).

It's obvious, Dude is a fraud and if he steps on a track without those PED's he wouldn't even go sub 10!

What a cheat.

He’s likely doping like many professional athletes. To get to that level you not only need talent and hard work, but arguably pharmaceuticals.

My question is… is he going to get popped? If so, Kerley and Great Britain will get gold. Ironic given they are likely doping too…

Kerley didn't come out of nowhere. Jacobs's 10.03 PR pre-2021 is in no universe euqivalent to Kerley's 43-mid 400s from 2016-17. And, yes, that 43-mid from a speed-based 400 runner does strongly indicate sub-10 100 speed.

Lol Kerley had not even broken 20 for 200m before this year! And all of a sudden he's world class over 100m...sure sure lmfao

Am I correct that the Jamaicans are the only clean ones?

So the list is

Bolt

Gay

Blake

Powell

Gatlin

Coleman

Bromell

Carter

Greene

Johnson

Montgomery

Mullings

Jacobs

So... Usain Bolt, Trayvon Bromell and Lamont Jacobs the only ones "clean"? Greene never banned, but...

I admit the Jacobs situation is classically shady.

Talking about being tainted by association, Bromell apparently completely lost his shape after training partner Okagbare got popped at the beginning of the Olympics. Somehow, he was not mentioned in the British press "there is no suggestion of wrongdoing" dance about Gemili, Neita and De Grasse being part of the Reider training group.

The rabbit hole goes deep once you start looking.

All this whining about the Italian 100m guys and it's the British that will lose their medal for doping!

Pot and Kettle.

a european winning the olympics hurts some.. clean until proven unclean much like gatlin... hold on..

No boat in this race, but I've insert a quarter with my $0.02.

So Fred Kerley is some kind of pioneer then right?

Laughable.

Michael Johnson and Jeremy Wariner and Quincy Watts never switched it up after their monumental successes and Johnson had that 9.x speed in that 19.32. Johnson tried in that 150m pony show against Bailey and pulled up lame.

Why are Wariner and Butch Reynolds and Steve Lewis so slow in the 200m? It"s not simply because they never really gave it a chance.

In fact, Lewis ran the 200m the same season he just missed Lee Evans Olympic record. Watts kept injuring himself in the short sprint at both Taft and SC. Lewis ran the 100m in high school regularly, besting 10.5ht in a 45.76 season.

In my opinion, it doesn't seem very likely that Kerley could just pick up the 100 after virtually never running it and sprint this fast at this age. I mean people are hounding Katir for the 5000m jump on very suspicious grounds. It's fair to put Kerley in a similar category of dubiousness.

Italy was also responsible for two of the 28 non-analytical ADRV cases committed by athlete support personnel – an important area given the high level of influence exerted by some entourage members and the inapplicability of traditional testing when it comes to catching them. (2017)

Shades of unlikeliness that things have dramatically changed since

I don't think Kerley is a pioneer. I think his short sprint times put him in the same class of speed as the other men who've run 43-mid (and faster) in the 400, WVN and Norman, and Gardiner over the 200. I never argued that Kerley's recent 100 PRs were above suspicion. I think it's legit to ask how he got from, say, 10.2ish (about the slowest he could've run 100 and hit those 400 times w/ his style,) to 9.84. I never asserted differently.

What I argued is that how he got from 11-flat to sub-10 isn't a legitimate question b/c it's obvious that that time-- as well as the 10.5-- isn't representative of his flat speed. I argued that given his 400 PR and how he ran the 400 that he always had around 10-flat potential. How he got from 10-low to 10-flat and from 10-flat to sub-10-- your guess is as good as mine-- but whatever it was, it was nothing that WVN or Norman hasn't been in the vicinity of.

Wariner's 200 PR would've put him on the 2004 Olympic team (he ran it in '06) in that event so I wouldn't call it "slow" at all.

As for Reynolds, I think everyone knows how he suddenly went from a 44-flat guy to 43.3.

*the other men running now who've run 43-mid...

Sörgel: This Mr. Spazzini is a criminal who was involved in fraud and theft proceedings. That Jacobs was also in this shed says a lot. There were falsified prescriptions there to get certain drugs. Of course, this is also reminiscent of the history in Freiburg, where things like this have already happened. So it's basically nothing new - just an Italian model.

SPORT1: The development of the 100-meter winner Marcell Jacobs, who has improved by several tenths of a second within a year, is particularly astonishing . Do you set the alarm bells ringing when you see such leaps in performance in a 26-year-old?

Sörgel: Definitely . With increasing age one tries to get the degradation under control. Providing basic doping supplies can, under certain conditions, lead to an explosion in performance. It was surprising, but several things could just have come together.

Marcell: "I was convinced that he was the right person to help me with nutrition and interaction."

Nevertheless a couple of months before the biggest day of your life, on the world's biggest athletics stage, you severed ties with the very person you were convinced would help you crack the 10s barrier when you needed to do that the most?

Okay, #hoodwinked

This story is absolutely unbelievable. For those who haven't followed along:

Once upon a time in fairlyland, in March 2020, ca 16 months pre-Olympics and 12 months prior to Jacobs 'severing ties with Spazzini . . .

"Operazione "Muscle Bound" was being conducted by Milan's Mobile Radio Unit's Special Interventions Team. This investigation led to 21 people being charged for aggravated fraud against damages of the State (Italy) - estimated at circa €50K - and of another person also for abusive exercise of the medical profession, receiving stolen goods and false documents.

The investigation was actually launched in May 2019, when a pharmacy in Milan contacted a doctor from the San Raffaele Hospital concerning a prescription for HGH, something which had certain side effects and should only be prescribed in rare occasions and cases to people who would be constantly monitored by a doctor. The HGH costs around €600/ pack, and is actually paid for in full by Italy's National Health Service.

As this particular prescription was unknown to the doctor, the doctor who supposedly wrote this prescription went to the police post of the hospital and was put in contact with the local police's Special Intervention Team, reporting theft of his prescription book, initiating formal investigations.

Starting with the first false prescription, the agents from the local police task force tracked down other prescriptions in 20 pharmacies scattered throughout Lombardy; these prescriptions all derived from stolen prescription books filled in with stealth stamps, upon which false doctors' signatures had been affixed.

Next, the agents acquired the CCTV images from the pharmacies and identifed the people who had illegally received the anabolic drugs, tracing things back in particular to two subjects who worked in the world of fitness: AA, 36-year-old Italian, well-known nutritionist in the circuit of gyms , and GS (Giancarlo Spazzini), a 30-year-old Italian, personal trainer, both of whom worked in a fitness center in Desenzano del Garda. "AA" prescribed drugs in place of unsuspecting doctors whose prescription books and stamps had been stolen; Spazzini procured clients.

The agents conducted in-depth investigations, observed suspects' activities, wire-tapped phones, conducted search and seizures, and concluded that, while some of the people who were taking the drugs were unaware of how they were obtained, others, in fact, were aware of the fraudulent methods. A total of 22 people ended up in the register of suspects.

And Jacobs feels comfortable.

I smell cover-up.

I’m sure lots of sprinters have access or know people with steroids, this association doesn’t really prove a lot...

Everyone saying Kerley's 9.8 is legit because of his sub 44 time in the 400....not realizing that Kerley was most likely doping to run 43.
