Coevett - happy for you to call athletes out, but you should do so using your real name.
You mean so the trolls here who have posted extremely violent and graphic death threats against me over the years can follow through with them?
Sorry man, I have great sympathy for your athlete if he is indeed clean and innocent, but with the doping problem in this sport, it seems a bit ridiculous that we can't jest a little when it comes to an athlete who tested positive in an A sample and whose suspension was lifted because the B sample was 'atypical'. Even the kid we are discussing in this thread has been subjected to doping allegations on no other basis that he's fast.
Unfortunately, in a dirty sport fast suggests doping.
ArmstronglivsUnless you've followed it for over half a century, I've seen more of it than you have and seen how it has changed.
Yes, you told us that you know the history of the sport and watched it for 60 years. And if I say: 65 years. So what? Totally irrelevant AGAIN. What's your point?
Good on him, he's a special athlete. Would've been nice to thank the coach who got him to this level. Managers just swan in when there's money to be made.

It is hardly "irrelevant" to form conclusions about the nature of a sport on decades of observing it - and informing oneself about the factors that have led to changes in the sport.

Yeah... whoever heard of such a crazy idea, of accusing someone of doping just because they are really fast! I'm sure covett has never done that too any one!
Well to be fair Coevett he has a simple 2 question test to determine if someone is doping -
1] are they white? If yes, then they are clean. End of discussion.
If no, go to question two .
2] The second question is - are they fast?
if yes [ and not white] then they are definitely doping.
Should’ve been running in Stockholm instead. Much smaller field. I understand many of the athletes probably picked Ostrava to have more time until their Trials races, but that was a non-factor for Myers.
