Guliyev is a more established, older runner with faster times, so that should be expected I guess

Just seems like an interesting talent from a country with an impressive sprinting history that has been pretty unimpressive since Mennea

kid runs 10.15 and that's your reply? You must be a hoot at parties.

The next Lemaitre.

I dont think theres ever been anyone like Lemaitre. Ridiculous top speed that closely matched the heavily doped Bolt. No one clean has been able to run a 19.80 200, or a 9.92 100.

I must have missed the failed drug tests proving that. Could you please post them?

And yes, I know all about Lance and others never failing a test. Buy you are the one making a very specific claim, so let's see some evidence.

Lemaitre is a very talented athlete. But you know he's clean...how? And you know all other athletes with equal or better times were/are dirty...how?

Besides the "sacred cow", Bolt, who is protected at all costs, how many have not been caught doping, and some twice??!!! Seriously, have you just started following track? From the old days with Lewis, Montgomery, and Greene, to now with Gatlin, Gay, Carter, Rodgers, Blake, etc, etc. Its ridiculous! They have juice coming out of their ears.

With Lemaitre, he was just a scrawny teen, and developed only slightly as a normal adult would. If he doped it would be rather obvious. He could certainly have doped and become a jacked freak, with crazy skin conditions, wild vasculature, and singing and dancing after running 9:75, but no, he chose the right side..

How do you know "no one clean" has been able to run those times? And how do you know this young Italian kid is clean?

In the end, it's professional sports, surely nothing like lucrative like basketball or baseball in USA, or football/futbol internationally, but like many letsrun posters have mentioned, the sponsors, athletic companies, supplement companies, whoever that has something to gain in power and finance, will find a way to use/protect the athlete. which is passing an urine test. Enjoy the show.
