And Dix' 19.53 is clean?

Yup! He is the ONLY male athlete I am sure has always been clean. The only one.

Must be .. when you think of all the great sprinters who never broke 19.70, and suddenly Dix runs 19.53, it's almost amusing to see the finger pointing at Blake ... Walter may well be 100% clean, I have no idea .. but if he is, then it's just as reasonable that Blake is as well.

Well mainly because Blake was already banned for 3 months for a stimulant. And no one, not even Bolt, has ever looked like Blake in that 19.26. No one ever. Watch the video LOLLL just posted. That looked like FloJo's records the way he pulled away at the end like that. Bolt ran a crazy curve in both his records and even he faded like any mortal. Blake did not. I think I remember seeing an article on Speedendurance.com saying Blake's last 100 was the fastest ever.

wejo whats up with you deleting all my comments? and my threads i try to start...like the one i started "where is xavier carter?"

i mean come on you let vent push on and on with his insults and annoying replies that bog down my computer, when everyone else can write coherant sentences, use periods and commas and break long winded "vents" into paragraphs.

so how about you stop your PC crap, and if you delete my threads then you should delete his too. like wtf

well, actually, it didn't look like FloJo's WRs at all. Flojo was comfortably ahead at 80m.

Blake didn't run a crazy curve. Dix did. Dix also ran a crazy time. Nearly two tenths faster than he ever ran in his life. That's not suss to you, but Blake's run is?

I'm not suggesting either run is clean or dirty .. just that if one suspect, I'm not sure how the other is not.

I'm talkin bout the lack of breakdown of form and how fast they actually ran the sections of the race, not where they were relative to everyone else. Dix's good curve is why he ran fast. How can Blake run that fast without a great curve? People don't do that.

But its also cause Dix is the only top sprinter that I have connections with their circle and know their history. Man, of course he could have duped everyone who knows him and done something completely against his character and what everyone says about him, but I doubt it. If you are actually in the sprint world you hear things and people know who is really clean and who isn't. Never heard anything from anyone talkin bout Dix like they do with others.

Man... Sprinters are people like anyone else, and just like kids who think they can hide stuff from their parents and think they are being slick, there are usually lots of body language signs that give jokers away. Yohan isn't happy, he doesn't smile... its all show and bravado. He's reserved and contained bc he is guilty.

Top of all that, Dix's reaction after the race is the thing beyond any talk that makes me feel that he really is clean. Most people, if they are on the same level with someone(whether both doping or both clean) who have a big PR they are ecstatic man. They celebrate and you see the relief in their faces. Dix is literally disgusted. He knows he's better than Blake and he knows he's clean and Blake's not. He walks off with righteous indignation.

It is funny that you and rojo only ever have to intervene and remind everyone to be civil in threads that contain a significant Ventolin^3 influence.

Never thought that perhaps his incessant habit to call other posters 'stoopid', 'imbecile', 'moron' multiple times in his posts angers other users of this site and causes arguments?

Wejo,

If this is the standard you want then you really have no option but to ban Ventolin permanently from the boards, just as Track and Field News and several other forums have done.

Ventolin doesn't add anything to these boards. Everyone is capable of speculating what runners might have been able to achieve without insulting everyone.

Nope.

When we start seeing him down around 43.3 on a consistant basis, then we can can the WR.

a pseudoscience-laden quote that looks good on paper & make the poster sound smart, but has no real evidence or stats to back it up. kudos!

eh ???

why didn't someone tell butch that he coudn't run 43.29 as he hadn't run consistent 43.4/43.5s beforehand ???

A classic example of where you fail to understand, perhaps deliberately, and ignore indisputable facts.

wtfunny, "There's only one comparable 400m runner who's ever run faster than him over 200m, and that guy was the 200m world record holder"

ventolin^3, "no

think

in 43.18 year his 200wr was 3y ole

he ran 19.93sb"

Anybody from reading this statement can tell that wtfunny is stating, correctly, that only one 400m specialist has ever run faster than Merritt over 200m and that is Michael Johnson.

This is an indisputable, recorded, verified historical fact that is based upon a real life event that happened and is recorded on video for you to watch for eternity.

Why are you being obtuse?

i hope ya know that this is all down to

one common ingredient regardless of other dope .

the best ped to ever hit sport .

van niekerk is absolute doper like

the recent south african sprinting emergence

down to this peptide.

and kirani clean ,no chance been on this stuff at very least

for the longest . years .

as for blake like bolt if you can combine it with strong steroids

then watch out and that is what we saw .

simply cant get away with that again and not a more natural

sprinter like bolt with natural bigger stride or height and get by on lesser forms of dope

like nike lab sponsored doping of gatlin and now merritt

For you to say Kirani is dirty basically says that you feel anyone with a world class marks these days are dirty. Kirani I believe is clean but Van Nierkerk is very suspect however. My opinion anyway.

... i said mj was likely in 19.7 shape when he ran 43.18wr

i said mj expected to run 19.5+ in atlanta final not 19.32

I also said that I think Merritt needs to be in 19.5x shape to tackle the WR, you said nonsense

no

i woud take 19.7+ speed right now & take it to rio

that woud be fine to run ~ wr

19.6 or even 19.5 woud be a bonus which coud get him from slivering a thin slice of 43.18 to ~ 43-flat

Next think you say is that Merritt will be in 19.5 shape later in the season and ready to tackle the record

i expect him to be in 19.5/19.6 shape in rio which woud give him shot at ~43-flat as he has arguably best 400 endurance of any man ever as evdenced by 44.93i wjr at 18y

however, 19.7 is quite acceptable shape for rio ....

Your mathematics don't add up:

MJ was in 19.7 shape when he ran 43.18.

Merritt has the "best 400 endurance of any man ever".

"lashawn coud run as fast as 43.3 right now"

So

Merrit ruling 19.7 -> 43.3

MJ running 19.7 -> 43.18

Tell me again who has/had better 400 endurance?

One interesting thing to note.

Nearly all of Merritt's season bests in the 200m have come in April/May. Maybe this is the fastest we will see him run 200m this year.
