Usain Bolt false start

Everyone wanted to see this final, period. You have to be insanely cynical/petty/jealous to think otherwise. What a disappointment.

oh shush: THANK YOU! No matter what people say about the false start rule and ridiculous doping allegations, everyone wanted to see bolt run

Only idiots use during a championship....or they think their substance is undetectable. You use during training, training harder and faster and with better recovery, you then cycle off before the championships yet you still maintain the results of the training you put in. That's why steroids will always be the #1 PED of choice for all athletes, it's a training drug.

There are drugs like HGH that are only detectable within 2-3 days of administering but have effects that last for not more than 10 days, from what I've read. The blood test was ~August 19 and the prelim heat was on 8/27. That's plenty of time after the blood test to take something like that. If they took on 8/22-23, the effect would last until the end of the month.

Look at the bodies of not just Bolt, but the other people that have been training with Glen Mills: Blake, Bailey. They don't look like the other sprinters. I'm guessing that Mills decided to hold off the cheating this time until after the blood test that everyone knew about.

Who cares, it's sprinting. Everyone knows sprinters are idiots. If some of you are this worked up, start letssprint.com and go away.

I'm over the Bolt false start ... what I still can't believe is 2 French guys in the final and just 1 U.S. guy.!

Who is David Ortiz? Is he a track athlete. Thought so. Let's stay on topic shall we, it's called Letsrun, not LetsX.

Two false starts were a problem, most people recognize this.

One false start is patently unfair as someone will certainly go off on purpose to negate the great start of another athlete, effectively creating a no false start situation.

If David Ortiz strikes out in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded to lose the game, to people complain that he didn't get the chance to actually put a pitch into play?

This is going to be a good rule ... growing pains.

Looked to me like he did it on purpose!

That's like saying Kim Collins would go sub 10... 9.99 with NO Wind. He hasn't broken 10 in like 7 years.

In fact, a quick look at his IAAF profile shows his PR is 9.98 with a blistering 2.0 wind behind his back.

I'm calling it, Collins will test positive. Three great races in a row and a PB quality time (wind adjusted) at age 35??

if Bolt, Gay, Powell, Mullings are there then he probably wouldn't get a bronze but the times are still suspect.

Haha, good one. Made me laugh. Not because i don't put it past him to be juicing, but because of all the runners you pick to cheat, Collins!

He has been lackluster for a long time, i have no idea where he came from winning all his prelim heats.

Left knee twitch by Blake was before Bolt bolted? Similar amount of movement to Chambers FS? I could not tell.

Nice to see a false start be a positive for Kim Collins (NCAA Championship false start "victim".

The One and done rule has been in US HS and College Track with no big problems for years! Many Jamaicans and other Foreigners now running Pro came up in our Collegiate System under that rule including Bolt's Female Jamaican Counter part Veronica Campbell Brown who ran for the U. of Arkansas and now as a Pro seems to have had no problem as have most others. Bolt did not run Collegiate Track.

but in the trials of the 100 the UK's "Drugee" Chambers was adjudged to have triggered the false start and therefore followed former world and Olympic 400m champion Christine Ohuruogu of the UK in making a shock exit.

Could they be avoiding Drug testing!

She has been running poorly this summer in the Diamond League Meets,finishing last in London the last Meet before World's I believe?

This is actually an excellent idea.

They need to start sprinters in cages, just like they do with race horses.

Yeah, and how about little tiny jockeys riding on their shoulders???!!

The real question is how long until the clowns at the IAAF change the false start rule?

It always should be charged to the whole field, and then next guy is toast.

Already under discussion!

"The false-start rule that saw Usain Bolt disqualified from the World Championships 100m final will be discussed by the IAAF next Sunday."

I agree with 'cp' and think the IAAF will decide to go back to the old rules.

The 1-and-done rule for sprinting is like the cut-in for the 800m. If Rudisha cuts someone off and is DQ'd, do you really think people are going to throw a hissy-fit about "reconfiguring the cut-in"? No. The start is part of the 100m so get use to it.

The women's marathon had two false starts of several athletes without one dq. Just saying.

Please give me an example of an 800 where the overwhelming favorite was DQed for cutting in too hard. It happens but I doubt it has ever been enforced. It's a non-rule. They can technically DQ for false starts in any event, up to the 10,000, but they never do, even when someone gets jittery and jumps.

What's the big deal? Just restart the race.

I'd rather watch a hundred restarts than one watered down "championship" like we saw this morning.
