Actually, claiming you took a male enhancement product is a good lie for that very reason. People will think -- My God, nobody woyld embarrass himself like that if it were not true.

I have nothing against Merritt and I do root for him.

What I am opposed to is letsrun posters who accept and present assertions and opinions as facts, who appear to be completely devoid of common sense, and who stand reality on it head rather than being open to the possibility that they are fallible

My coach's college roommate is a USAT&F insider. He was told that during the hearing Merritt requested to show one of the panel members why he took the male enhancement product. In a private room, Merritt revealed a shorter than 4 inch penis to the panel member. Merritt also showed photos of him racing with a prosthetic penis in his tights because of the humiliation of appearing in public with a less than manly bulge. Merritt was told that the only method he could legally use was a penis vacuum pump. He is permitted to continue using the prosthetic.

I trust you are joking.

re: lold

Well, maybe in the 43.5-43.7 range. I think he will run that fast for the very reason that he has been embarrassed and will want to really lay the smack down to silence his critics. Yeah, I hope the 4x400 pulls together and puts politics aside to get the best team in the finals.

43.5? lol
He was flatlining at 43.7 and that was probably the most pumped race he was in.
I think he can go under 44 again, but his career is now on the downslope.
His confidence is shattered, in more ways than one. That does affect you as a male athlete.
But I for one am not very happy with the US 400 men, including Wariner and Merritt. If both of them got healthy and got another 2 guys together and all 4 of them ran an honest race they could have the WR in the 4x400 by a significant margin.
All of them are to blame. Me mentality. Disgusting.

Well good, I hope that most US track fans will still root for him. Whether you believe him or not, he was punished under the rules we have. I for one just tend to believe him though.
