De Grasse out of 100m. "Training Injury"

Lies.

Andre is NOT injured.

PUMA offered him a $375,000 + a 25% pay increase and a 4 year extension on his existing contract to pull out of worlds.

PUMA & Bolt were legitimately worried about De Grasse.

Also in the deal is a huge marketing surge to make Andre the next star after Bolt leaves this year. WIN - WIN for Puma, Bolt, & DeGrasse.

Ok, thank you for the info sir.

However, can you share the source?

Mods, wake the fcck up do something. How has this been up this long?

Ahhh my brother. Time to bend over and drop those little panties. And same to all of you who doubted big Sal. So I would apologize for only being "partially correct" - except I wasn't because the first word was that he was done for the first 100 (conveniently) but okay for the 200. So I was right 100% (maybe 200% as well - see what I did there) of the time.

The reason some of us know these things and not others is because some of us really are on the inside of this sport and the rest of you are just message board bottom feeding muppetweasles.

Big Salvatore out...

Based on his IP, it looks like he works for a competing shoe company.

Did you just publicly reveal that this guy lives in Beaverton, Oregon? Is that kosher?

This is concerning. The beauty of LRC is anonimity so time to be more reserved (less fun) with my posts.

You are a marketing genius. The guy beating the greatest sprinter of all time in his last week wouldn't get an insane amount of free media or anything. You know, like launching his name into the world conscious. Good thinking.

Hate to agree with this guy but I think he's right.

First De Grasse kicked out of race last week

Now a pulled hammy the week of Worlds??? Highly unlikely

DG didn't break 10 seconds at the CDN Championships and he hasn't shown the form to beat Bolt this season. He's never beaten Bolt. Bolt will peak this week for a final gold and move on. He has nothing to prove with 8 Olympic golds and 11 World championship golds. Talk of DG being a favorite or being in contention to beat Bolt is a joke.

Grade 1 and then a grade 2? He stated the hammy only "grabbed." I say get a 2nd opinion because if it's a grade 2, he would've known it was bad..

he didn't need to break 10 at the Canadian Championships....

wow are you serious? this is pretty suspect. next thing you know galen rupp is racing a weakass chicago field to increase his chances of winning.

Bolt only ran 9.95 this season. DG ran 9.69. 9.95-9.69= 0.26 seconds faster than bolt.

I don't get the Joke

Salvatore strikes again!

OG call was just the hundo but now also out of the deuce.

Bummer we didn't get to see him destroy the biggest fraud in sports history in Monaco.

Y'all be sleeping while be grindin

The Sauce

I'm glad the guy broke the news on letsrun but why was his IP location given out?! I would hope we could keep real news posters on letsrun but I don't think they would like to post a comment if we give out their locations.

He said a shoe company.

It could be Nike, Adidas, Brooks... he did not get specific. Remember, any semi skilled person can trace your IP if he wants to. You are not truly anonymous whether you like it or not.

Bolt's 9.95 is equal to 9.98.

Ok, let's say Bolt always improve for the majors...but this time, it will be, no more than mid/low 9.8s.

What if a clean reputed athlete (Gatlin doesnt fall in the description) is in the shape of his life?

Remember. In 2011 Bolt was worried because Yohan Blake was beating him in practices. Later, he made an atrocious/infantile false=start. And Blake ran 9.93. (Not otherwordly, but was Bolt at least in 9.92 shape until that moment?)

In track and field, never rule out conspiracy theories. That is what the last ten years of IAAF actions have taught us. Nevertheless, on the face of it, I don't see Andre De Grasse as having proven he was a threat this year even to a weakened Bolt, who will run sub 9.80 if necessary to beat what seems like a weak field.

9.69 was hurricane aided.It was 9.88 basic.

Bolt was definitely in sub 9.8 shape in 2011. He ran 19.4 in the 200 final, so clearly he could have gone 9.7 in the final.

You pay the cost the be the boss kimosabe. Either way I find it amusing the Bro-clowns actually bowed to muppet-board pressure and removed this post only to jam it right back up when the intel was confirmed. And for the record this wasn't a stab in the dark "guess" and originally ADG was only supposed to sit the hundo. Still if anyone else wants to lick a set of balls after doubting me first time round these nuts are nice and PNW sweaty so just DM me.

How much is actually revealed through your IP address? City and state? Actual residence? Does it have the name of the person who purchased the device being used?

What would come up if I bought a phone in New York but posted on the message board through my phone, except on vacation in Texas?

Thanks for the learning opportunity.

Most are not "semi-skilled" so you trust that your identity will be hidden. Whenever LRC hints that identities can be revealed, that trust is gone.
