I ask because I watched Rae's video and he was like Jamaica (their media/newspapers) protect their own as justification for why there was no mention in their media of a doping positive. But then this thread says US.
If you were to look at US:
Grant Holloway - Very recently active in Tokyo (yesterday during the day). Shared an IG Story post 9 hours ago...yeah not seeing it.
Daniel Roberts- Quiet, but he's not active on Social Media.
Devon Allen- Promoting stuff on IG Story as of 16 hour ago.
So I'd guess you'd go with Roberts as the most cagey at the moment.

The USA already has the best track and field team; if the U.S. gov't ran a doping program I can't image how good we would be.
You do realise why America is the best track and field team, right? It's because they're doping and USATF let's them off. If there was a government ran doping program in America like Russia, American medal hauls wouldn't change much.
Need I make a list of gold medalists from the US that have tested positive...? We can also make one for Russia and compare them if you want. The reality is most of the world eyes American performances with suspicion, because Americans have a history of being dirty.
Exactly this,biggest drug cheats in the world by far.
The act itself is so irritating and the content so limited that he better be right, because no one really wants to watch that stuff.

I don't know what's surprising about athletes flying in late. There's no real benefit to getting to Tokyo early and being under hotel arrest due to Covid protocols. I'd wait until the day before my race, fly in. And fly right back out immediately after.
I guess you have never heard of jet-lag and how incredibly it can make you, right? Some of the things you people say...

And yet the US did not let off its biggest sprint star since Flo-Jo, Sha'carri Richardson.
Yes they did. One month is a token ban. Should have been 4 years.

For a non performance-enhancer? Please.

Would seem as if today has left us...particularly in Japan. Perhaps Mr. Rae is FOS?
That's what I'll go with.
Rae stays at home devastated?
No updates?

Let's not start with this again.
It's about to drop. Refreshing AIU's feed every few minutes.
Is Rae FOS?
Looks like it

Lol how’s that working out for you, 3 hours later?
There's a lot of bribes when it comes to doping in track. Sport is corrupt from the athletes to the organizations and "integrity units" overseeing the leagues. Money talks and busting an iconic athlete is a zero sum game for the sports popularity and revenue. The Sha'Carri 1 month ban is another suspicious example. There's more to that whoch is swept under the rug for sure. Other sports cover up and don't even test their athletes as well such as the Marxist NBA of China (LeBron gets a free pass as did Usain Bolt).
^ Bribes appear to only apply to the USA. The UK already has the Lord’s protection.

A tokin’ ban.
So I’m guessing no one failed a drug tests?
Meanwhile… Jamaica sweeps the women’s 100m! Guess they’re back on those “magical yams”?
Track is already a fringe sport that isn’t commercially popular/profitable. It would make no sense to test top athletes and have them fail. It would ruin the sport…
With this being said, you have to be extremely naive to believe grant Holloway is drug free.
