Were We Wrong About Carmelita Jeter?

Would you just kill yourself, you moron.

A small minority of elite athletes dope. Of those that dope a majority get caught, but there are several who get away with it.

Regarding the still unrevealed marathoner from 30-35 years ago - fair enough - I can respect your desire not to out the runner, but on the other hand, it does seem like this type of attitude that contributes to the problem. Not that revealing a 2:12 guy from the mid 80s would solve anything I suppose.

And some of us youngsters are enough of a student of the sport to know how good that era was. The number of American guys who broke 2:20 at Boston and NYC that year is mind boggling. I have looked at the results and wondered--was it drugs, or are 75% of those dudes just doing other endurance sports today?

Me not revealing something someone told me when neither of us could have ever imagined something like an internet forum where people lap this up (25 years after the admission) is not contributing to the problem.

What would it solve? You would just shame him and drop his name every chance you ever got. I choose not to.

We don't have any shortage of track athletes to shame if you look up the Dubin Inquiry, East German track and field research files uncovered by Werner Franke at the Stasi headquarters, the BALCO scandal, the current Russian scandal, the current rash of Kenyan positives, the USA sprinter positives ...

There is no shortage of examples that the sport is not drug-free.

Jeter has THREE main connections with dopers.

1) Made huge improvement when she spent 07 & 08 training with Larry Wade who was hurdler banned for life in Balco deal. He is CC coach in LA area and whom she still sees for some help.

2) Mark Block is her agent still even though it says Block's assistant Chris Layne is her agent. Block helped her get juice. Block was Wade's agent.

3) John Smith has had over a dozen of his runners busted or news broke on their drug issues such as Mo Greene being named by convicted drug king pin Angel Herrera.

Nuff said!

Now is the perfect time for her to go all out with the roids. She's so slow no one is going to bother testing her!

On a serious note though, I'm sure she's still doping and her huge/rapid decline in performances isn't really relevant to the issue. People need to remember she got seriously injured in 2013. She was wheeled off the track in a wheelchair. She's 35-years-old. Some injuries are serious enough where no amount of doping will bring you back, especially at that age.

She was injured, but also came back three months later and won the bronze. She certainly wasn't finished at that point.

I would have to look up the exact timeline, but almost positive she ENDED 2013 with an injury because in 2014 she was still coming back from it. Maybe she got surgery in the off season or just was coming back from something serious, but she was definitely coming back in 2014. 2013 did not end on a high for her health wise.

I hate to use the "C" word when describing a young woman in reference to her attitude and questionable performances, but indeed I think she is a "cheat."

When you see her again at the Olive Garden in Compton, order the Shrimp Scampi special (under $10) and don't leave a tip because her service was slow.

She ran 11.7 100m in high school off basketball training.

Two words: O Bama

No she didn't run 11.7 off basketball training and thats it. Why do people insist on defending people who are swindling you? Taking you for a fool? This sport, human beings, we deserve better. Running is such a pure and raw thing. Its what makes it so special. And you want to defend those who CHOOSE to corrupt that and put a price on it. That's really absurd. They are unworthy of such loyalty. Unworthy of the ones they have betrayed, which is all of us.

I heard that Volkswagan was supposed to use Carmelita Jeter to help promote their 2016 Volkswagen Jetta. I guess maybe it's not true.

I've never heard that the biopassport got implemented last year for steroids. Anyone have any links on that or any other info? Feel free to email me as well wejo@letsrun.com

Why do so many twist themselves in knots in order to defend/rationalize PED users?

She, like Barry Bonds before her, has never tested positive for Personality-Enhancing Drugs.

I agree that fast times alone is not enough to conclude it must have been drugs.

Were "we" right or wrong? When you have no evidence, you can't really say either way.

Only Rekrunner would defend an obvious cheat.

It's actually spelled "moron."

^^^^^

This is some serious irony right here.

Defend? I did not say either way. If she cheated, she should be punished accordingly.

Fairly common knowledge that people like Calvin Smith raced clean.
