Yeah, most likely did, but keep it quiet, no one will notice. Anyway, I'm Jake from the Cal Poly Running Club. We only ran together for a short time, but the Rainwater bit gave you away in your letter. How's the running going?

Well done, did you know that Deeja Y. is running the nationals that your site is sponsoring? You're planning a highly vocal and visible protest, right?

Like she isnt the only who has cheated. Everyone has. and even more in track and field are, just hasnt been caught yet. Let her have some time...who cares..she isnt running now.
Oh sure good idea. Just let someone destroy the sport by taking awards out of the hands of people who really earn them. Don't people understand what a big deal cheating is? The people inducting her into the hall of fame electing her are promoting cheating.
So did anyone go?
How many posters on this thread have joined and supported this organization?

Deeja Y served her suspension and is allowed to compete. I have no doubt that Wejo would object if the USATF (Slaney) or the Ethic Hall of Fame (Jacobs) were planning on honoring her.
So what?
Deeja is in my Hot Babe Hall of fame.
Just got this message...don't have any idea what to make of it. WHAT IS THIS GUY THINKING?!
we received the enclosed letter from one of our advisory board members who was made aware of the objections of our nominating Regina Jacobs for induction.
Regarding your selection of Regina Jacobs to be inducted into your Hall of Fame. I recall that when Mark McGuire was making his home run championship run, there were many articles that alluded to his use of performance enhancing drugs. One drug was mentioned specifically, and as I recall, McGuire admitted to using it...it was not on any banned list, and nobody paid any serious attention to it. So, Mc has not been hypocritical in any way that I know about it...the fact that, during that same period, say 1998-2004 or so, many athletes at every level were experimenting with these drugs was no big secret, and no big deal, and of course, baseball, particularly, had no policy against their use. That's why I regard the crusade against Barry Bonds as akin to the "white riot" that ensued after the not guilty verdict for Simpson. These people have their racist prerogatives that they will cling to until the last dog has died. The reduction absurdum of it came with the revelation that Bonds had tested positive for amphetamines...can you believe that? Even little leaguers know that "greenies" and "reds" have been as common in club houses as rats in tenements! What major leaguer would ever have thought that their drug of choice would someday be on a "ferboten" list? Yet, not one sports writer I've read has said a word about the absurdity of that! The same with the steroid issue in the Olympics...everybody knew they were widely used in Eastern Europe, and everybody knew that many American Olympians used them as well..yet what was common knowledge to those of us who have followed these sports gets buried under the hype spewed by these revisionists, who will not admit that the greatest "drug" enhancement of their Babe Ruthian heroes was the discrimination that kept non-whites from competing against them! That was worth a thousand amphetamines to their chances of winning and become heroes and legends! These people should confess to their sins and get a life. If they want to ban all drugs, including alcohol or whatever, they should do so; they can wipe the slate clean infuturo; they can put an asterisk at 2008 and simply say: "all records before this date were achieved in the absence of a comprehensive drug policy"..and go on from there. Everybody will understand. But, when they see the police-state type apparatus they will be required to erect to police their new policy, I predict they will long for the olden days, in which athletes were free to compete on their own terms, by their own rules, and where records were accepted for what spectators observed on the field, rather than what records were ratified, ex post facto, by officials and laboratories, whose methods and motives will ever be more suspect than the athletic performances they were called upon, in an act of dubious wisdom, to verify.

That was sweet. Oh, and I found the rest of the message. Here it is...

Wow, I guess we know how those who cheat think. I have often wondered how people can live with themselves when they take drugs... now I know.
I bet they next claim that Barrack Obama is black and is "theirs".
BTW - Sen. Obama is half black/half white and was raised by a white family. The seems to make him 'more white' (50-50 on the genetic thing, and 100% on the culture/raising thing).
You just have to look at Regina's small butt to see that she aint black.
Nobby,
Don't worry about being a dumb foreigner. You are in the dumbest country of all, so relax, you fit right in.
Now if I get blasted for the truth, I call on my Commonwealth Brotherhood out there to help defend my actions here...Kiwi's, Aussies, Brits, Hong Kongalongs, Canadians, Kenyans, Indians, Jamaicans, South Afrikaners....
We can be our own UN.
Well, it looks like Regina might eventually make it into a different Hall of Fame. Apparently, she is in talks with the WWE to appear in several upcoming episodes of Monday Night RAW, along with Kelly Holmes. (Think Kurt Angle).
Do you think this is a wise career move? For Vince McMahon or either of these two cheaters?
Bonds, Jacobs, Armstrong, Landis, Toth, are my biggest heroes. I dope too.
