Read the old threads. Everyone thought he was never going to return to his top form after his races in 2008 and 2009. Now he runs worse times than those years, and people think he will easily return to his top form. How does that make sense?
He didn't take off 15 months in 08 and 09. That's why this is light years different. It will be a slow and gradual comeback.
Alsal and Nike want us licking our chops all the way up to London. Same thing with Galen..."his best is a few years off". This way no one gets too upset with less than stellar performances. It's a shrewd way of building a stable fan base. Fans who won't bail just because the flavor of the month has a off day.
Get it?
