I do not work for them and was not aware of any infringement. I am a very regular poster on these boards and was just trying to share viewing options. I will note for future reference.

Men's 100 should be awesome. If Gatlin wins, he's undefeated on the year.

Bolt has only had 1 undefeated season in his life. 2009.

In 2011, he also never lost a race he finished by was DQd at Worlds.

Gatlin runs WL 9.77.

god I hate justin gatlin

Great race for Gatlin - 9.77

Are you ready for an amazing end of the season meet?

End of the season meet?

Diamond League season maybe.

We still have Rieti on Sunday and the IAAF Continental Cup next week.

WHAT A TANK- UNSTOPPABLE!

No one can touch Gatlin in the 100 right now

I feel as if I've been watching the same group of sprinters race each other for the last 10 years and the rest have either gotten old or tested positive. What happened to the young guys, like Bailey?

We are going to start the JG hype machine.

I believe his first doping expense was ADHD. Tennessee simply failed to turn in the TUE. Of course, he was doped under Trevor Graham (that's obvious) but he's viewed as way bigger of a pariah than he should be.

He served his time and is kicking ass. To be out of the sport for what 4 years?

I just think that dopers aren't viewed correctly. He's viewed as a two-time cheat when in reality #1 was likely a simple mistake. Similalry, others who take cold medicine are viewed the same as steroid cheats.

His association with TG was BAD. Don't get me wrong but I respect this guy a lot for making the most of a second opportunity. He says he'll run through 2020!!!

You are so inconsistent... you can't even say the words "Mary Decker" without saying "drug cheat."
