In an interview on the italian Corriere della Sera, Ans Botha, the 75 years old coach of Wayde Van Niekerk, said that 12 days before Rio, in a day-workout he run 3 times 9"9 over 100 mt, and than twice 14"7 over 150 in the same.
She remained shocked and she told to the newspaper that in that moment had known that Wayde would win the gold medal in Rio.

I wonder if they were rolling starts? The workout is insane either way. Three times 9.9?!?!?
"South Africa's Doping Control Laboratory has become the fourth lab to be sanctioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) in the past month.
Bloemfontein joins Beijing and Lisbon in being suspended from carrying out any Wada-related anti-doping activities, while Moscow's lab had its accreditation revoked in April.
The decision leaves 31 Wada-accredited labs in the world, but none in Africa."
SABC:
"South African rugby has once again been in the spotlight, with several players from slightly lower levels of competition, having fallen foul of doping charges.
Tests show that doping and anabolic steroid use is still rife in school rugby."

Well, his 200 best is 19.94, so what do you think his 150 en-route in that race might have been? Way(de) under 15.89, don't you think?

Only the times are insane. 3 X 100 hard, hand timed by his coach, for a guy who has legit 10 E is no big deal. Nor is the 14.7, same methods. The 150 is a great training distance, you get the turn work and its over before it gets really hard.

Ahem, lowercase, no period.
I love how you tools are second guessing/calling bs on the Olympic 400m champ that nearly broke 43 sec. Really?
