You're a registered idiot?

Obviously it's normal to have suspicions about anyone who can break a WR, but if you wanted to come up with a profile of someone who is likely to be clean, it would probably be someone like Syd who was already world class as a kid and became the best in history with a pretty unremarkable progression between the ages of 16 and 21.

This is unfortunate.

SM certainly had the pedigree from a very young age to be doing everything she is doing clean, and may very well be. However, when you lay with dogs you get up with fleas. Not that Kersee is a dog, but he used HGH like candy over the years and who knows what else. Let's see if SM is wearing braces in three years? From this point, any success will be suspicious.

Being a big fan of the sport for a very long time I cringe whenever a big HS or college star with huge potential sign with a Kersee, NOP, now Bowerman , and other sketchy clubs. When I hear people like Kessler or Henes is going pro, I hold my breath hoping for a club that does not wreak of chemicals.

Clean or not you are judged by the company you keep.

Been watching her since age group, she is doing what she has always been doing. Her body has matured some as she gotten older but certainly no more than you would expect. What would be the purpose of doping when have superior natural talent, you have won at every level and there is nothing to suggest what you are doing is out of the ordinary?

Because of the delay, many casual viewers won't even know it happened.

I agree with most everything you said. She had not won on EVERY level, losing to her rival who set the WR on the world scene.

If she indeed has superior natural talent, and like you I believe she does, why would you align with a guy most known for very suspicious transformations of his athletes? I wish more could see who they rub elbows with will affect how they will be viewed in the sport long-term.

Must be the shoes...

Tokyo will be interesting. Muhammad got a slow start to the season. She will peak in Tokyo. Sydney might beat her but she better bring it.

She already brought it.

Note 51.9.

The one and only sub 52, now she has the bear off her back. Look for 51.5

Possible. Would be like a 46.40 for men. That might happen as well this year.

yes,and im good at it.and im also right !

and you have the intelligence and maturity of an inverted amoeba.

A few of the world's greatest sprint / hurdle coaches...

Lance Brauman

Tom Telez

Dennis Mitchell

Dan Pfaff

John Smith

Glen Mills

Mike Holloway

Pat Henry

Brooks Johnson

...tell me which one has 100 degree separation from doping?

As a young elite athlete, step one is finding the most qualified coach and overall training setup to help you succeed. If the federations USATF, IAAF, etc., deemed this coach worthy of coaching, there is no proof this coach provided or encouraged his athletes to dope; who are you or anyone suggest an athlete should not be coached by this individual. Successful athletes have successful coaches; they seem to find each other. I am absolutely certain Sydney, Felix and the many other athletes Kersee has and continue to coach are focusing on running fast and not Kersee's personal life and the doping related things that have been said about him.

This also suggest she is in around 49 mid shape which would make her one of the top 400m dash sprinters in the world.

Good at what?

And how many Olympic medals do you have?

So you are suggesting all the best hurdle coaches are suspected of PEDs so damned if you do.....? For the record I have never heard of Mouse ever being remotely associated with doping.

I will throw the question back to you? What is the first thing you think of from a coaching standpoint when you here those names?

For me:

Telez=Lewis & Houston

Mitchell=Multiple drug convictions yet USATF approved & promoted

Pfaff=Technician

Holloway=Exceptional sprint coach & great program

Kersee=HGH & PED's

Maybe you have other thoughts, nothing wrong with that. This has nothing to do with Kersee's personal life which I don't even know. It has everything to do with his coaching reputation which in my circles was "great coach, but athletes using." Similar to Sydney joining Kersee, when Clayton Murphy, another exceptional talent, went to NOP my first thought was "he will never be without suspicion from now on, warranted or not."

As I said earlier, you are lumped with the company you keep, and if I had talent so far above others I would make that part of my decision. I never once gave an opinion who SM or anyone else should hire as a coach. I said, SM will always be suspect from this point on in many if not most people's eyes who know the sport, accurate or not.

She is always in mid 50 's shape.

Not enough has been said about her hurdle improvement and her coach's preparation.

She was running all the 100h with different lead legs earlier in the year.

All that happened here is she alternated perfectly through 200 then got her game on. Her last 100 has always been stronger than DM.

Now she has got this out of the way she will go on to better things.

This will definitely get her more Insta followers. Congrats!

Weren’t people saying she was finished or some crap as well?

Letsrun really do be shooting a shotgun from the hip

Yup, whole pages of them!

She’s taken the baton from Felix as our top female track star. She can run 51.50.

It’s a shame she can’t do the open 400m as well. She’s would definitely medal. I don’t think she could beat Naser tho. At least not a doped up Naser (who I also like). Since Uibo isn’t running the 400, Sydney would be about the only comp for Naser.

Naser has an easy win coming. No Uibo, no jackson, no Sydney, no Athing.

Sydney is the goat tho. Her and Rai have single ha deadly made the 400m hurdles must watch. Well some credit to Muhammad, Warholm and Sampa.
