Actually, Mullings has never been formally sanctioned by the IAAF. This usually means they don't have two positives ("A" and "B") as required. In other words, he ain't guilty.
The NCAA is working on changing its rules to recognize suspensions handed out by international bodies.
Myerscough DID compete in NCAA events while under IAAF suspension.
Mississippi State was 7th out of 11 teams with 42 points last year. (Arkansas scored about 150 points). They are not one of the best teams in the SEC ,and have never been. That is the best thing about track....it is not very subjective...you are either good or not, you either cheat or you don't. Steve Mullings is a proven drug cheat ( 2 failed tests ), he is banned for two years... and by some loop-hole he is able to compete against clean college kids in the NCAA. And according to IAAF rules, anyone who runs against him will also be banned. But I guess as long as Miss. State gets 6 or 8 points it's worth it.
So...did you not read what the last fellow said?
What do you make of this?
Why don't they have the owners and policy makers instead of the players?
What the hell does that mean?
If he has been banned by the IAAF then why has that never been released and why are his times still on last years rankings. No other banned athletes performances are still on there?
Crystie Gaines times are stil on the list too.. So what are you saying, he didn't fail two drug tests? How do you explain the failed tests, and the removal fro the Olympic team?
mississippi state is an athletic joke anyway, so who really cares.

You would if he kept you from becoming an all-american.
MULLINGS HAS NOT BEEN BANNED BY THE IAAF. THERE WAS CONFUSION OVER HIS TEST. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.
It's a "B" level program that needs points anyway they can
get them.
Reality has hit home by now in Starkville and the fact is that Miss State is not a sprint powerhouse. The guy that recruited the boys "Coach R. Alexander" is long gone and his training magic has worn off and now you find out how good Coach Dudley really is?

I disagree. I used to run at Miss. State and for Coach Dudley, and it is obvious that he is a good sprint coach. Last year's 4x400 was amazing, and were all athletes he recruited and coached. He also signed one of the best recruiting classes in NCAA history last year with Elzie Coleman, Steve, and Adian Sanderson. I think the actual reality is that Mullings and the rest of the sprint crew at State will be putting up some fast times and big points at NCAA's this season.
why would all the guys stay if dudley was such a bad coach, the only guy that has left is Glen McFadden and he has been looking to come back.
Coach R Alexander my ass...if he is soo great there would be more mention or at least some mention around MSU...and there aint.....the guys are all pretty damn happy here....and we may have lost Trey Hardee, but we gained alot in the recent recruiting class
Are you sure about the sprinters not wanting to leave? Word is Brown and maybe Davis are looking to leave. They have not been in town lately.
i cant say that would be a bad move, i actually think it would be a good move, you arent going to get full commitment from a coach when they have their own athletes to worry about, another reason is if they were to run some great times coming up (and i hope they do) coach dudley would probaly try to take all the credit just cuz he is like that....i mean msu does have a good sprint group those guys can work out with, but sometimes to get to the next level you have to workout with better people.
he failed two seperate tests (and no, I don't just mean the A and B sample from the same test), and seems to have been cleared on some technicality. Now, unless you have some information which proves that he never failed a test then drop the stupid gangsta act and crawl back under the rock you came from
duh, 2 fails = a positive.
Wow, you must go to school at Mississippi State. Go back to Track Shark(and to English class).
