Congrats to Christophe Lemaitre - fastest clean man in the 100 meter final!!!

Oh, and the perception that T&F is massively popular in Kenya, Ethiopia and Jamaica with millions of participants and spectators is wrong. The only sport East Africans pay money to watch is Football (Soccer): they'll fill out stadiums, subscribe to satellite TV packages and read about it in papers. Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are not African or even black, but they're household names ... yet no one has ever heard of Tom Brady and if Roger Federer walks the streets of Nairobi, few will recognise, let alone bother him. If you gave a kid in Africa a choice between being the next Usain Bolt/Haile G or a chance to play for Arsenal, ManU, Real Madrid, Barcelona or AC Milan; they'll pick Football (Soccer) easily. Again, soccer is by far the most popular sport in Kenya and Ethiopia, yet we suck at it and never even make the African Cup of Nations. Why?

Now add...

running back

defensive back

wide receiver

Where is that speedy/quick/elisive white running back? Why do people struggle with the obvious?

I can see you get it.

A white female sprinter from te USA....where?

The genetic requirement for these positions have changed. Before the game of football the genetic requirements favored stronger players and the speed emphasis was less essential. Wide receivers had to fight to get open a corner back could literally rape a receiver and running backs had to hit a stacked box. It's not a wonder that Larry Csonka was the prototypical running back 40 years ago and slow White corners like Pat Fischer or big corners like Mel Blount could manhandle receivers down the field.

Blacks started to enter into international competitions in large numbers

only since the seventies.In fact the first African participation in the

Olympics was in the late fifties.From the seventies when African

participation started to risee,their domination has increasingly

become more pronounced.So to say things are going to change,

is wishfull thinking.In fact as blacks become more wealthy and

have more disposable income,they will move into the so called

club sports and then it will only be a matter of time before their

superior abilities assert and dominate those sports.

You could argue they genetically purer(for the most part). The average Black American is about 1/6th Caucasian, I doubt the average Jamaican has that much White ancestry. All you have to look at is Trinidad where the average Black person is Mulatto but their athletes are overwhelmingly African looking compared to the general population. Of course this still doesn't mean a hill of beans as many more African people have been historically discriminated against more by Mulatto and White people post slavery. Ps I am saying this as a Caribbean of a Mulatto background

And it's obvious why people here are rooting for Lemaitre to succeed because the impact would be equivalent to that Tiger Woods in golf or the Williams sisters in tennis. But he's not good enough to compete with the top tier so the wait continues. When Jeremy Wariner was winning the 400m, he and the event were getting as much coverage as the men's 100m.

Right, not even close it peaked some interest because he was White but no 400 meter champion ever gets the press of a 100 champion.

Continental 100m record holders:

Africa (90 % Black) - Olusoji Fasuba 9.85 black man

Asia (98 % Asian/Arab)- Samuel Francis 9.99 black man

South America (80 % Latino)- Robson Da Silver 10.00 black man

Oceania (80 white)- Patrick Johnson 9.93 Mulato

Central America (80% Latino)- Silvio Leonard 9.98 black man

Europe (90 % white) - Francis Obikwelu 9.86 black man.

North America (80 white)- Usain Bolt 9.58 black man.

Just the facts,just the truth staring you in the face.

Johnson isn't a Mulatto he is half Aborignee. The people are related to ancient East Indians. No sane person is debating Black dominance in the 100 meters. You are stating that because of this Blacks will and can dominate any athletic sport, which is a huge leap.

Cuba is part of North America. The Central American record is held by Alonso Edward and it's relatively slow at 10.24. Maybe Sebastien Kietel can take juice to the max and move to Panama and break this record

He was also a dominant 200 meter runner. He also was totally unique who did something what nobody has done since or may ever do again at the world class level.

Hey buddy, I guess you didn't get the memo. 90% of people that enter to run track professionally are black. I would hope they would have some records. Most people don't care much about some running events. There are more interesting things out there.

Whites left the sport in droves decades ago, but they still have times that are close to the current world records. If they really took the sport in large numbers and as seriously as blacks do, we could see much lower world records, especially with the current doping programs. Might even see everything from a 8.9 100 meters, to a 1:36 800m, to a sub 2 marathon. BTW, most of those Continental record holders are slower than Lemaitre!!

Now add...

NCAA

100m...black

200m...black

400m...black

4x1...black

4x4...black

High School

100m...black

200m...black

400m..black

4x1...black

4x4...black

Last white American to win the 100m...1956 Bobby Morrow

Last white American to win the Olympic 200m...1956 Bobby Morrow

last white American to care about 100m...1956 Bobby Morrow

Wrong!

We have two different body type here and science has proven that. It doesn't matter what white athletes want or do they simply don't have the same unique physical characteristics to compete with blacks in speed type athletic events.

Most whites left the sport in doves.Big lie.

In Europe and here in the US IAAF statistics show the overwhelming

participants in running are whites.They just are not very good at it.

Check your NCAA stats,it will show most participation in running

is by whites.It's just that the few blacks that participate dominate.

Wrong. Whites in Europe provide the largest audience/spectators and participants for track. Usain Bolt makes most of his money from Europeans. All major marathons in world (London to Boston) are lined with white spectators and participants. What are you talking about? East Africans would rather watch soccer and Caribbean people cricket.

What Germsn set world records in the sprints ?

Armin Harry ? He ran a hand time 10 secs in '60 which

was actually inferior to Eddie Tolan's electronic 10.3 secs from '32.

Armin's time was never officially recognized and besides everybody

knew he always false started.

it may very well be that the non PED 1-2-3 is lematre - chinese guy - and vicault and then the japanese youngster. infact this is the way i see it.

that result would blow the racists here out of the water wouldn't it?

what can you say about the jamaicans and the americans regarding PEDs at this point? anything you want. they have no credibility what so ever. plus look at their physiques ..... sheesh it's a WWF out there. bolt's eyes after the win -looked like he robbed a candy store and got away with it.

lematre looks clean because it would be impossible to take steroids and have your clean at 100lbs or whatever

chinese might be clean because the chinese cleaned up after the dirty pre-olympic -beijing days. then again they might be onto the latest micro-dose techniques.

the japanese might be clean because you get busted hard in japan for a joint, drug abuse of any kind. has any japanese EVER tested positive for anabolics?

vicault, i throw him in the mix as possible clean because he ain't from a country known for rampant drug use - in track that is - ...
