Drummond sues Gay and WADA for defamation

is this comment meant to be a joke? Not realizing that injecting PEDS was illegal?!?

why is it so hard for you to admit that Tyson Gay is a DRUG CHEAT? Stop trying to pass this off as an "honest mistake" for trusting the wrong people.

I pointed this out before. Most SCRAWNY distance runners are jealous of Tyson Gay's physique. He worked hard for it and all the time in the gym paid off. Now that Gay made a mistake and trusted someone whom he shouldn't trust, he is under fire by you guys. Not fair.

What have you done for your country compared to Gay?

Glad this one time the Brojos and I are on the same page.

I give you a free pass on this because I always enjoy your posts. The one above is no exception.

Banned PEDS are not necessarily illegal.

So is letsrun changing its editorial stance now? That poor little innocent Tyson just wanted to run clean and was misled about the product he used in and on his body, a product which by the way was clearly labelled as containing a banned substance.

I am relative certain WADA/USADA would not have implicated Drummond with out due cause. Some of the information Tyson provided is starting to leak out and from what I am hearing, it is very through. He has provided samples, dates and a paper trail, etc...basically, Tyson has snitched on everyone. Also, between USATF/IAAF/USADA/WADA, Tyson has conducted dozens of meetings and the reason why the process took so long was to verify his statements and use that information to kick off other investigations, perhaps one of which might be Drummond. Btw, I heard rumours from almost 10 years ago that Rev. Drummond has some association with PEDs distribution, although nothing never came of that.

Tyson does not get a pass in my book, but the manner and ease in which Tyson was busted, was so incredibly stupid for a multi million dollar athlete, that you can conclude that perhaps his use was somewhat inadvertant or Tyson is incredibly stupid. You choose.

Please note that none of my information is from any official channels.

It's kinda ironic that Tyson Gay will be cleared to compete this summer before we know anything about which substances he tested positive for.

Correct, I should have been more clear, I meant "against the rules."

Rojo too, but nevermind.

well if I remember correctly he dropped Drummond as his coach before all this happened....so to me it sounds like trevor graham style....

Drummond got mad that Tyson left him, but had him protected somehow in the doping scheme, but as soon as he snitched or lied to Tyson that he wouldn't test positive or whatever then booooom he gets busted, now Tyson is pissed and trying to burn Drummond.

Tyson will get a slap on the hand, Drummond will go down, but when he does he will spill more beans than people want to know...sh*t will get ugly haha

I don't have the name in front of me, but it was the hard stuff, albeit at very low levels. What's crazy is that it is a substance that everyone knew WADA had a test for and he showed up to 2 competitions with it is his system. Also, Tyson has blood on file from almost a decade ago, before the BP and it appears he is not a career doper. From what I know right now, the hold up is the result of ongoing investigations. I have also heard that there are a couple of athletes who were asked not to compete in the World Relays and that one of those is 'likely' a U.S. athlete. And, for those who think Gatlin is dirty, Gatlin is not the the U.S. athlete because those athletes were 'asked' to skip Pre as well and I think Gatlin is running in that meet.

Isn't that the whole idea behind micro-dosing? You take a banned substance in small doses with the hope that it gets cleared before your next drug test.

Most of the smart doper don't dope at all during the competition season and certainly not close to a meet where you know you are going to be tested. You can usually tell an athlete is doping during OOC because they will have great early season marks and tail off as the season progresses. This was a consistent trend with Asafa Powell and I recall a couple of years where Russia would have about half a dozen female 1:57x marks in early May and by late July, none of these women could run sub-2. 2 U.S. sprinters I recall seeing this with also was Kelly White, who got busted and Torie Edwards you was never busted.

The main point is, nowadays, a doper will self test before a competition and if anything is coming up, you pull out of the meet with an injury. Btw, for those who still think Gatlin is doping, it would be very difficult to do so with the frequency he competes and continues to run well into the season.

I don't think Tyson is lying.

Drummond will puff his chest , sue Gay but in the end Drummond will be exposed for the drug cheat he was , unscrupulous behavior setting himself up for a ban for the sport. Lawyers would hope for a quick settlement clearly to make quick buck off Gay.
