Yeah, the majority who have run under 9.80 are dirty. They also have something else in common, most are American. In recent history Montgomery, Gatlin, now Maurice Greene have been implicated.
Then there are Calvin and Alvin Harrison, Jerome Young, Kelli White, Carlette Guidrey, Antonio Pettigrew and the list of American dopers goes on and on.
By the way, to date, of all the names mentioned by drug dealers who testified against the American athletes, did the name of one Jamaican athlete get mentioned?
Has anybody ever mentioned the name Asafa Powell or Usain Bolt\'s or any Jamaican who lives and trains in Jamaica for that matter?
This is something that you all seem to miss. Just because the Americans do it does not mean that everybody else thinks that they should too.
And that we dont have an independent authority doesnt mean much. Our athletes are tested very often. In fact, Jamaicans are the fifth most tested athletes in the world.
So far this year Asafa and Usain have been tested 13 and 11 times respectively and as the WADA head said there is nothing suspicious about their blood or urine profiles.
He even came to the defence of Jamaican athletes, adding that Americans should look into themselves before they start accusing others.
Why would he do that if there was something to be suspicious about concerning Jamaican athletes?
What you are suggesting then is that economically poor Jamaica has some hidden lab down here that is producing some expensive PEDs exclusively for Jamaican athletes that no one can detect.
The other thing I am curious about is this. How come nobody publicly questions the validity of a home run or a no hitter even though baseball is increasingly developing a reputation of tolerating \'juiced up\' players.
It took an act of Congress to get MLB to impose more stringent regulations regarding testing.
In the NFL, you dont even hear testing mentioned but track and field that aggressively goes after cheats is villified when it exposes its cheats?
Crazy, that\'s what it is. Absolutely crazy.
