Justin Gatlin 9.74 letting up - Are you kidding me?

So why did Ben Johnson need to re up to improve his times when he came back in the early 90's?

I'm not smart. But even if he did, why does that mean drugs can't help other people for a long time?

sorry if this was stupid

only in huge doses & then maybe

laughable !!!

witch-docter ???

mutt-doctor ???

i know helluva lot pharmacology

more than inepts

complete fool

he was taking it since 9y ole

he took it for decade

your inept think it was making him run 10.00 at 12y ole ???

& his high-profile manager in a rage beat the living sh!t out of that masseuse

his manager faced no charges & that masseuse, made no criminal complaint

so who who was the perpetrator in the case ???

justin ?

or the massueuse who administered that crap ???

utterly clueless

you have no damn clue about justin

don't waste my time

i asked you if you knew the full facts

you don't

i wan't to know

if you have no offer, then don't waste my time

because your are completely inept

testo is from a jab or pills

he got +ve for testogel, which is crap testo & needs bucket/day to for weeks to shave off 0.01s

only a complete & total moron woud dope with testogel

he was 100 champ

do you think his camp was filled 100% of total & complete morons ???

testogel ???!!!

the most pathetic & laughable method that can possibly have existed to dope !!!

utter inept

he found out his drug-accusation when confronted with details of +ve result

how clueless are you ???

offer

don't waste my time

hmm..

i'm clearly encountering hilbert or ameoba...

utterly clueless

If you know a lot about pharmacology can you get yourself operating at normal please?

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.

Obviously you were never a sprinter. Nor do you watch a lot of Gatlin. He was not letting up. That's his big gear.

He ran that fast today because he has improved his technique since last year. His first foot out of the blocks set up his acceleration, and he didn't get himself into the big gear until later than usual. He usually throws that first step out but today he got it under his power.

A very nice run, and if he continues to run the first 50 out of the blocks like that, he may run faster.

I'm not sure what made me laugh harder- hearing Crams's announcing (see second post on this thread if you missed it) or reading that he got his first step under his power. Are you sure that it was not the modified position of his pinky finger during the drive phase?

It's ALWAYS impressive when a two-time drug cheat champion can run one of the fastest times ever. Kudos to Gatlin for showing us all how long PED benefits can last. Hats off to the guy.

Do you seriously think Gatlin in benefiting from PEDs he took a decade ago?

cram is clueless commentator

he knows when pace is rubbish, but not much more, such as likely finish

hutchings

is chump level commentator, even having nearly 3 decades experience of this

i have not had to watch eurosport athletics for a decade until today

why is hutchings still in the job ?

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.

I actually don't believe this. In my mind, he was really caught once. His college thing was a joke. He was taking ADHD medicine and got busted for that.

You are absolutely correct, he actually mentioned in a H.S. interview that he had ADHD and required medicine. TN was also aware of this but no paperwork was ever filed; generally athletes don't file exemption paperwork, coaches and administrators do that. Gatlin never attempted to fight the first bust because it didn't entail a suspension, it only becomes an issue because he got busted a second time. To be fair, Gatlin is absolutely an ex-doper and although technically he has been busted twice, but if you know the story, the first time can be excused.

This is a terrible way to judge, but his performances feel so wrong. If you examine the facts around Justin, it strongly points toward him having an unfair advantage

Testing on mice has indicated lifelong benefits from steroid use. His current steroid use could be irrelevant as his former actions could still be paying dividends.

I'm sorry Justin, I want you out. You don't deserve to be on the top if you cheated at some point to get there.

Forget about rats, all of the human dopers I know started to decline with in months of stopping. Most athletes in all sports can't come near their doping performances a season or two after they quit.

I have seen documentaries on steroids and within a few weeks of stopping a cycle a weightlifter was doing 50 percent less in totals than he did before.

Pft. The guy never broke 9.8 when he was doped. What makes anyone think this 9.74 was legit? And not to mention he's 33 years old.

1) How long do mice live? How did they train? How did the lifetime clean PRs of mice in Group A compare to those who doped, discontinued doping, and continued to train in Group B?

2) With people (humans) who do the above, the anecdotal evidence suggests that with some drugs the benefits last months (EPO, for example), with others--anabolic steroids--they can last over a year (longer in women, who don't have testicles that get "shut down" by steroid use) if one continues to train hard, but many years let alone almost a decade? Hell no, and the decade going from mid-20s-mid-30s is all uphill from an aging perspective RE strength, recovery, testosterone HGH...One of the adaptations one makes to steroid/HGH use in conjunction with lifting is a positive one: more muscle mass. BUT it is offset by a bunch of negative ones that one faces once one gets off the drugs (true of most drugs)-lower natural production of hormones, lower sensitivity to them, lack of experience with how to train in the "new body" one now finds oneself in, etc.

Interesting, but I'm not clear on the take away. Are you saying Gatlin's cheating now, or that he's clean now?

Does anyone know whether Gatlin was tested during his ban?

Do we know how often he's been tested since he came back?

Ventolin who is your favorite commentator?

Never heard such apologiseds for gatlin.

and ventolin are you his ultimate fanboy...

1.

Not just gatlin but athletics as whole is

disgustingly dirty at moment.

not one guy in that 100m isnt doping

using peptide of choice IGF-1 lr3 .

qatari and collins very obvious.

have also triple jump

and womens hurdles , obvious at meet.

Certainly upped game in terms of doping

even though conditions where very good.

2.

look doping in the past might help you many years later if only can dope again

to utilise them extra muscle fibres.

but still not much.

hormonally speaking in natural setting

wont happen.

igf-1 great little peptide will stop post cycle

crash ,own hormones fine. Keep gains

3 .

this is iaaf sponsored doping if they

refuse to use ISOTOPE test for testosteron

on gatlin .

they could catch if wanted .disgusting.

He got screwed by the system for his first bust (wasn't it even worse that he had done the paperwork for the NCAA but not the USATF/IAAF?), and because of that, got doubly screwed with the second bust, having to serve four years (only after appeal), rather than two, and continues to get screwed in the court of the public opinion of armchair drug experts.One thing in Gatlin's favor is that he didn't compete for four years, saving four years of the wear and tear on his body caused by continuous competition. He's 33 now, but shouldn't be compared to other 33 year olds who competed continuously.

The paper found a three month memory effect in the muscles of mice.Any talk of a decade lasting effect in humans is "(Professor Gundersen's) speculation" without "data to back that up" (can also be found in the article).

I guess you missed the article about how the effects of steroids are "long lasting", possibly up to a decade after use. Gatlin is "human" support (of the animal study) that the effects truly ARE long lasting.

Meb runs a PR at 39. Everyone Meb just works harder. Nothing to see.

Comparing a 2:08mid to a 9.74 100m? Even you can see the ridiculousness of this attempt I'd hope.

That study never came to the conclusion that steroids can benefit athletes for decades.
