Justin Gatlin 9.74 letting up - Are you kidding me?

Steve Cram's commentating was right on the money.

"Well whatever the secret is, he might want to keep it to himself. 33 years of age and he's just run his fastest 100 meters ever - with all of his history. 9.74. What a start to the season.

Is he going to go quicker? The questions will just keep coming about Gatlin."

ever hear of hard work?

guess not.

Bolt ran 9.72 in May 2008.

He also ran 9.76 in early May that year.

Also, Gatlin himself ran 9.77 in May 2006 (but the time was later removed from the books)

It may be fair to be suspicious of anyone running that fast in May, huh?

I had my best speed at 33. It's really not that big a deal to be faster as you get older.

He needs to be piss tested 3x a day for the next two months. Whatever new drug he is using, test until it's found, cos it's fvcking there, guaranteed.

And I thought Carmelita Jeter was the most obvious juicer of all time!

If Bolt isn't doping now, he will be tomorrow. He won't let Gatlin beat him.

Why do sprinters let up all the time. They must be able to tell they're having a really good race. Just go till the line.

Not a big deal, except that it hasn't happened to anybody else, with the exception of the equally suspect Kim Collins.

Yes. Coupled with the correct drug regimen it can do wonders for a talented athlete. A talented, cheating afflete.

I was never really on the bike for 6hrs. That is all a bit of a myth. I would ride 2hrs to Chris and Johann's place to get my vitamin S and Vitamin's E P and O for 2 hrs and then ride 2 hrs home.

Wow. I want whatever Gatlin's got. Jesus. 9.74 letting up. Seriously. Hand the guy the gold right now. Barring a doping positive, how does he lose?

That has to be the fastest time ever run in May right?

That was amazing.

He is one of the most drug tested athletes in the world. No meet director want a blemish.

That said, he will run faster and yes Im sure the deals are being cut now for the super match up with Bolt, big appearance money for both and huge world record bonus. the question is pre or post world champs? My guess post Beijing.

he's been caught doping twice already! What other proof do you need? On the positive side, this might actually get Bolt to train hard for World Champs.

Drug testing is ALWAYS one step behind the latest drug regimen.

If anyone thinks that Gatlin is clean I've got a bridge you might be interested in.

I ran a 2:03 when I was past 40. I have secret for Justin: Be like me, like Michael Johnson, like Hicham. Like Flo Jo. Retire in time--that is secret.

1. No, you don't want what he's got. Roids will give you cancer

2. Take away his gold from '04 that he won with roids

3. He loses because even on roids he is nowhere near Usain Bolt
