SCR out of the 100, good. Now we can focus on real athletes without the distraction.
Maybe Steiner should have competed—with SCR out, she had a fair shot at a relay spot.
Even if SCR tries the 2, she will die. Her last 200m was horrible.
WTF is with her? Did Gatlin have any insight?
Maybe she is running “clean” because she knows that she in particular will be under scrutiny. How many times have I said on this board that she is an 11.3 talent, and BAM 💥 11.31 (0.4). If that is the case, there is no shame in that.
You need to stop with this nonsense. She was at 10.7 her first year at LSU in 2019. Was she on drugs then?
That performance, at that time, by an athlete with that history, has indications associated with performances done by others, who were subsequently proved to have been using.
In other words, if I had to give you an opinion, then yes I believe it likely to be the case.
Is there something magic about a first year “in college”, other than access to things and no testing? Oh yeah, all those great programs and coaches. Spare me, coach😂.
Just look at Sant—great in HS, goes to college and gets destroyed, leaves and picks up on her own at a “nothing school”, and now she’s a world indoor medalist and in the semis at outdoor nats.. That’s what can happen to a clean athlete if they try to roll with the program.
I should start a surveymonkey poll as to whether or not people here believe that SCR has used PED’s.

So a white athlete who was great in HS goes to college and didn't perform; she disappears and returns and now is competitive and not a suspicion of drug use about her performance from you. But a black athlete who showed promise from young is on drugs since 18 years old at college. Alrighty then.
Sighhhh. The twists on turns in your logic.... you should be ashamed to put what you said in writing...
So a black athlete can’t be a POS and a white athlete can’t be a role model?
Man, take your race shlt and shove it up your azz. Am I racist against whites because I said in the Steiner thread that there’s good reason for people to be suspicious? Matter of fact, I don’t even care as much about Steiner, I haven’t even looked up her progression history; SCR’s, I have.
Your race shlt is nothing. Whoever it may be that SCR has been taking spots away from is overwhelmingly likely to be black, you ever think of that? HELL no.
You’re so thicc that you don’t even hear that I’m taking up for her. 11.3 talent, going 11.1, is insanely good, and is competitive against clean women. Like I said, no shame in that. No shame in qualifying for and competing at nats, and going an honest 11.3 in the heats. NONE.
Get off her case, and leave her alone. Watch the remaining competitors, and enjoy without the distraction of the BS that everyone has built up around SCR. Understand that 11.1-11.3 is an excellent honest time. IMO even if she blew the race, she wasn’t going to go any faster than 11.1 if she hadn’t. That’s a big difference.

So a white athlete can't be POS and a black athlete can't be a role model? According to your many posts of Richardson and many other black athletes, no they cannot.
Given the performances of Richardson and Sant-Price, it is highly more probable that Richardson is clean and Sant-Price is not.
Have you ever thought that Richardson's behavior just may cause sponsors to increase the value of contracts for other black athletes? Have you ever thought that Richardson being in the sport, just may be a motivating factor for other young black girls to get into the sport?
Going from 10.8 to 11:3 in two weeks is not an honest performance. Your continuing attempt to denigrate the ability of this young lady by making her out to be on PED thus casting disrespect on her potential -will not stand and will be challenged as it is bigoted and illogical in light of empirical evidence.
While I have no particular love of Richardson because of her arrogance, you need to get the hell off of her back. Back the hell up and stop casting aspersions about PED use.
Yes, runners whose strength is kicking should lead, push the pace at or above their PR pace, and somehow magically they will pull away rather than fade to the back like every other person who has tried this.
There aren't any women at USA's who can't run sub 4:10. They can almost all run at least 4:07 and make it on time if they had actually tried. But they didn't even try to run a 4:07.
Even the heat that went that fast was extremely tactical, it was just the most loaded heat featuring two olympians. The only surprise was Mackay closing in 2:06 for a 4:08. Where the heck was that when she finished only 6th at NCAAs two weeks ago?

Shacarri's progression is actually less suspicious than Sant-Price's to be fair. 19-22 is a huge improvement window, with smaller improvement windows occurring at 22-24. Peak is 24-26, and a well-trained athlete that avoids injury can maintain peak until 30, but they shouldn't improve. Sant-Price just made a huge jump at 27. That shouldn't happen......
I'm suspicious about Sharcarri too, but not because of her progression. She looked like a future gold medal winner in college and was a favorite to medal at the Olympics going into the US Trials last year. Then, she gets popped for weed and can't run fast anymore? Also, she seems like an insane person.
Not suspicious at all about Steiner, McLaughlin, or Mu's progress and there's nothing there that would indicate they are doing anything.

My observation is that you’re someone who doesn’t know how to argue, doesn’t know how to express himself well, doesn’t know how to order his thoughts.
You can’t argue generalities where specifics are available. I couldn’t care less what you call me, all my posts on here stand on their own merit, people can decide for themselves.
The fact that Sant is white is relevant only to you. The important fact here is that she went to college, got destroyed by the “experts”, took time off and rebuilt herself, went to a “nothing program”, and has had success. As she is a world indoor medalist and now in outdoor semis, she is the single best current example of the point I was making.
Same thing with the fact that SCR is black. That fact matters only to you, because you think that bringing it up helps further your agenda. It has EXACTLY NOTHING to do with her sprinting.
It does get boring af when you trot out the same old flame shlt, and think that it will still work. The world has moved on, you should too.
The bottom line is that SCR went 11.3 in the heats at nats, and is not advancing after a performance I find laudable. All the other bs you’re building up around the performance, and around her, is a distraction to try to get people to think about what YOU think is important, not about what actually IS important here. It is a TRACK MEET that you want to turn into a 3-ring circus. That is disrespectful to all the remaining competitors, who are just trying to do their best.
Maybe you should find another board, a political one, where you will find people who will respond to your tired rhetorical devices. I see right through you, which makes you powerless.
Coincidence? Maybe, but I think not, and I gave my reasons months ago. Yes I could be right for all the wrong reasons, and I discuss it elsewhere with people who know things, and we can and do disagree, but for good reasons. You, otoh, have offered nothing of value, just bs, unless I have missed it. ZERO analysis from you of her race on the track, and your attempt to distract from it, tells me all I need to know.
Fred Kerley 9.83 (1.5) PB WL in the prelim, with a winning margin of 0.24 in a race where the first 3 advance.
Ridiculous, wtf is he doing? Either he is a complete moran, or he’s running on nitrous and is unlimited.
Either way, I don’t like it. I told you, he is insanely serious about this. Not good.
It's a 100m... He'll be fine lmao
Yeah, he looked super good in that race. Holy shlt if he can get that start again, IMO he can go 9.7-low/mid with the same wind.
I hope he and Bromell both go easy in the semis, maybe take second to someone, just take it to 70-80m and shut it the f down.
If this was actually “easy” for Kerley, look out—but he just doesn’t have that impeccable form that Bolt had, you know? I will say a PB for him in 9.7-mid/high, if the wind cooperates.

Fact: Sha'carri at 19, in her freshman year at LSU won the NCAA title running the still standing record of 10.75. Where were your posts then claiming she was a mediocre 11:3 athlete?
Fact:2021 she returned dropping 10:75 times practically every time she ran and anointed herself the next sprint queen because she was the only one consistently running sub 10.8s at the time.
It is beyond credulous and incredibly stupid for anyone to claim that she is a mediocre athlete and has been on PEDs since 19 years old. And to make general statements about college athletes don't get tested for PEDs when you should know they damn well do.
You idiotically brought up a white athlete who disappeared for years and is suddenly running competitive times even though she's at the age when retirement is knocking on her door; and making declarative statements of her being clean, when it stands to reason her performance is more unbelievable than Sha'carri's.
Given that black sprinters outnumber whites 9 -1 it is amusing that you used a white sprinter with suspicious performance as your barometer of who is clean. A more logical and statically more appropriate non bias non-racial pick would have been to use another black sprinter - because they are a dime a dozen. The fact that you did not screams your bigotry.
It becomes a race issue because Sant-Price's performance does not pass the smell test yet she is given a full pass by you. However, this is quite consistent with your comments about Bolt's and Shelly Anne's Fraser-Pryce PED usage. Three black superlative sprinters and all three of them are PED users as far as you are concerned.
Sha'carri went 11:3 in the heats. She also ran 11 in her first year at Nationals. Racing is both mental and physical you have no insight into her state of mind at the time of her racing. To claim this is her true performance when she has demonstrated it is not, by running much faster several times is bloody stupid.
Heck, using your idiotic analysis - anyone can claim Hocker is using PED. As a matter of fact, any athlete we do not like, who performs outside of our parameters for them are just PED users.
You’ve way overplayed your hand. I’m going to the track to work out, while you stay here and blather. Honestly, I’m not going to play your lame game anymore. It’s boring af.
One word of advice: improve your listening skills. Rather than responding to what I have said, you are substituting your own issues and addressing them.
It’s the height of fanaticism and disrespect, and gets you nowhere but ignored.
So a black athlete can’t be a POS and a white athlete can’t be a role model?
Am I racist against whites because I said in the Steiner thread that there’s good reason for people to be suspicious? Matter of fact, I don’t even care as much about Steiner, I haven’t even looked up her progression history; SCR’s, I have.
Never has there been a more clear and concise admission. Applause to you for taking the 1st step. Step 2 is figure out for yourself WHY you don't care as much about Steiner.
As for you guys, you personify that old saying that to a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. You are the true “racists”, you construe everything within a single critical paradigm. Your value is seriously limited and circumscribed.
I write this from the track, between sets. We’re doing 4x1 sets, then barbecue, then watching the meet tonight. AT A LIBERIAN FRIEND’S PLACE. Can you American ignoramuses find that on a map? Charles Taylor much?
