Do you think he's getting treated with actovegin? He's seeing The Healing One...

Unless this has been broken on this board already y'all heard it here first.

A "training" injury will mean that ADG does not race the 100m in London, however will be fit and raring to go in the 200m

Salvatore FTW.

Close enough. Criticism mostly retracted though it, the injury, sounds legit but, who knows? Seems out out too, not just 100.

Close enough? What because it isn't plausible that in the time between this news being broken and the "official" release that De Grasse was holding onto maybe being fit enough for the 200?

Close enough?! It was right on the money. God bless Letsrun.

But I don't know what city he or she was posting from. WHen I looked up the IP, it literally had the name of the company in there. Who said it was Beaverton? Posting at work.

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.

Go there. People can hide IPs. People can do all sorts of things. If you post via your phone, your IP changed depending if it's cellular or Wifi.

His medical team, which is paid by his sponsor, diagnosed the injury.

And announced this where?

He announced it on his Facebook and Twitter pages.

Altis retweeted it, so that confirms it.

Bro, these posts went up 24 hours after the original post, obviously we all know it's confirmed now.

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.

This made me laugh. Good on you, Sal. What do your sources tell you on the behind the scenes Aden scandal and/or involvement with Farah?

Putting my absolute most cynical hat on...

A grade II hamstring strain is either the new code for a positive A test, or Healing Hans being notified of an increased test detection window of some substance, i.e. De Grasse is still glowing and has to miss the champs?

Then again, it could be, you know, just a hamstring strain.

What a pathetic existence you must lead.

You are either injured or not, you can run or you can't run. This is the WCs, half of the athletes aren't 100%, if you can run 200m, you can run a 100m. How in the heck can we have a sport and two of the best athletes not face each other in an entire season.

Were you a track fan in the Coe/Ovett era?

"Bolt warns fellow athletes: stop doping or the sport will die"

"Usain Bolt Displeased with Andre De Grasse's 'Disrespect'"

BREAKING: "Andre De Grasse Pulls Out Of Worlds"

Why settle for a Puma payoff theory when you can have a full-on Lance Armstrong "get rid of your competitors via friendly doping testing" conspiracy theory, too?

You're speculation could be true. Theoretically, an athlete can be tested anytime. Pulling out of a major championship doesn't prevent an athlete from getting tested. Pulling out could even increase the odds of getting tested, in an ideal world where the governing organizations weren't corrupt.

The reason I think your speculation is false is because Bolt is the one who has been visiting Dr. Wolfhart repeatedly in recent weeks. If there is any special substance causing a glow, Bolt would be flashing like a neon sign. Check out photos of Bolt a few short weeks ago compared to this week. My, the lad gets in shape quickly.

But your speculation could still be true. Perhaps a new potion was being employed. Perhaps the powers that be don't want a young upstart negatively impacting their future profit potential.

Dude I don't need behind the scene sources to know what is going on there. I have two eyes, two ears and perfectly functioning brain. Get my drift brah?

Is he good?

We now know he isn't running at all but ...

The 100 is two races on Friday and two races on Saturday

Then the 200 is round 1 Monday, semis Wednesday, finals Thursday

If it's a slight injury, your best chance is to give the extra few days to heal and run the 200.

That would make total sense.

And track is not like a team sport where you can be less than 100% and still win because your skills are good.

There are no skills in running. It is all physical effort.

Wow...you sound like a football coach, not a track coach!👍You tell em coach - they need to play hurt or go find another sport. These sprinters get a little injury and they wimp out - not the football mentality.

Is Yohan Blake now the only one left to challenge Bolt? How about Gatlin? What's up with Coleman, too tired at this point of his long season?
