Disaster in London. Nijel Amos PULLS UP injured.

He should be fine for September

But how much training and confidence building will he miss?

Could be a blessing in disguise. The WC's goes through October. He will be able to rest and get his form back.

He grabbed his injection site after 100m. They just need to shift to his arm until Doha.

Easy to see how this happened. He followed the 1:41 with a sub 45 400 then lined up for this race. Too much in a short period.

Disaster? I was afraid there might have been a plane crash or earthquake or volcanic eruption or something. Some dude got hurt running? Disaster?

At least he didn’t PULL OUT injured.

Nigel Amos pulls up Lamous! That's how you write a headline. You can use that with attribution, letsrun.com.

Whether he'll be ready to race by October depends on how bad he ripped it up, and if it involves a tendon. It could be a grade 3 the way he was practically hopping on his other leg and then sat down.

From his instagram story:

“Part of the game, nothing serious, will be back soon.”

Very close to the truth. They'll use his "recovering from injury" as cover for him being able to maintain peak condition all the way to the WCs.

Or maybe he was caught, and officials, as they do most of the time with certain third world athletes, allowed him to pull this stunt and lose out on some prize as penance, with a warning for his coach / supplier(s) to be more careful with his dosing.

Watched it a few times. Unconvincing. Looked like Kabuki Theatre nonsense. Not like he spazzed and went down. More like something he rehearsed somewhere along the way.

Probably went from Monaco to Paris to London and has slept 20 hours in the past week. Lost his passport in the 6th and there was no point in racing for no money. Smart move all around. Maximize Monaco and come back hard in a month.

Do you have any kind of evidence that this sort of thing happens or did you just make it up?

Fake news doesn't even come close to describing this website.

A stroke of genius, if he was glowing, nobody will ever know.

Shouldn't you be protesting Brexit or Trump or something?

The guy pulls up injured/hamstrung cramp after racing hard twice in a few days.

People try and say it's cause he is doping. I don't think posters like yourself know anything about athletics at all. Perhaps you should find a conspiracy website to talk about Area 51 or something

Pretty sure Subway knows at least as much about athletics as you. Though admittedly, he might not know as much about doping as you....

Are you saying the other guys in his races weren't 'racing hard' because they weren't as fast as him? Surely he's just better than them or in better form than them? Maybe he was peaking too early, but I don't see how that would cause him to be injured.

It's certainly bad luck for Amos and a massive co-incidence that he injures himself just when he's in the form of his life. It will be very suspicious if he's back in 4 weeks time running 1:41 again.

You have cited lots of injuries as excuses for Coe, Ovett, Cram, Jakob I., etc. for not performing well.

Black runner gets injured and he is a doper.

But no, you never posted anything racist on LRC. We are all Tyrones and ex-runners and El Ks.

Maybe if you actually attacked me under a registered handle I wouldn't accuse you of being one of the unholy trinity?

I'll shut up when the mods delete the thread currently on the front page accusing the Ingebrigtsens of doping solely on the basis that they are white and whites are genetically inferior to blacks.

And that thread's language and sheer imbecility bears all the imprints of TyroneXXX btw.

And you sound exactly like the schizophrenic Spanish 'moonshot' who accuses me of being racist even though he says exactly the same things about Kenyan runners (presumably I've upset him because I think a few Spaniards were dopers too).
