Oh no!

I love this girl. She is to me a younger version of Shelly anne. Very fast! I always root for her to do well.

you've been duped into rooting for a cheater. How could you love someone this despicable.

Seriously,

The entire sprinting thing is just wrong!

Almost everyone is testing positive. sad!

i see the traps but not the delts?

Nickel Ashmeade train there

how does the ncaa deal with athletes who scored at ncaas? does the athlete get removed retroactively and the team scoring adjusted?

It pays to cheat in Track and Field because there is no shame or huge punishment for cheating.

If she didn't do drugs, she probably couldn't make a living with Track. Do drugs, make money, and if you get caught...so what? Apart from diehard track fans, who cares? At least you were able to make a living for couple years running rather than at a desk job.

Staggeringly stupid to get caught given the events of the last few weeks. People are so dumb.

It's possible she tested positive several weeks ago and was only just notified.

Of course, you are destroying the sport in the process...

But I guess "you" just don't care.

S/he might be destroying some fantasy version of sport that you're clinging to, but your fantasy has never been reality. Them 1, You 0

Money isn't everything.

Being able to sleep at night knowing you did things the right way - 1

Drug cheats who know they're lying scum - 0

Yes just like drugs have destroyed the NFL

The National Football League players union, alarmed that its members die nearly 20 years earlier on average than other American men, has selected Harvard University to oversee a $100 million accelerated research initiative aimed at treating and ultimately preventing the broad-ranging health problems plaguing the athletes.

What's 20 years of a person's life worth? Not that you care, as long as the hits keep coming.

Is this our goal/dream for track athletes?

That must be the repeated hard hits, I heard last year that quite a lot of retired NHL players get depressed from brain damage and commit suicide? Look at Ali struggling with his movement, he was the greatest, the list goes on and on..

Does drug use decrease athlete/baseball/cyclist lives? We know so far that gender can be effectively changed from too much, surely there must be other hormonal changes due as well that affect other aspects.

Question: What do all these athletes below have in common besides their positive drug tests?

Veronica Campbell Brown

Tyson Gay

Steve Mullins

Kelly Ann Baptist

Semoy Hackett

Answer: They were all coaches by Lance Brauman at one time or another.

Actually Semoy Hackett has never trained with Brauman. She trains with Dennis Mitchell who coaches Gatlin.

Fair enough, I guess a fair amount of it was Bravado. Probably wasn't Bolt-esque in dominance, and a good rivalry always heats things up. I wouldn't at all be surprised if the better boxer was actually the one not praised as much due to a lack of extrovertism.

Ali the greatest? ... Meanwhile he scored 80 on an Army I.Q. test.

I don't know about the Army test, but Ali's IQ is generally listed as actually being 78. See, e.g.,

However, that is well within the normal range for African Americans, whose average is around 85:
