Only if "it" is a drug test. Or the True-Hill Award. You know, the one for the white boy who wins the most useless race each year and then gets overhyped but never actually produces when it counts.

Centro takes it.

Correct. Centro had absolutely ZERO chance for Olympic Gold.

Yeah Centro was never going to win an an Olympic Gold if his life depended on it.
