WR's going tonight in the 100m lads. question is... how quick will it be

 

[Richie]

Why? let it go.

If you dope, you shouldn't ever be able to represent your country again

Blake 9.85, wow.

Shame to see a drug cheat get fastest

Gemila ran 10.06 with a bad start! He's 18 and only just started taking athletics seriously. Must be nailed on to be our quickest GB sprinter ever soon

PP are doing money back on the 2nd place if the WR goes tonight.

Well he's served his ban so it's only fair he competes. Those are the rules and he's done his time so let it go.

Thought Gatlin suffered from ADHD since childhood and was widely known he was on medication? I hate drug cheats but is there no extenuating circumstance here?

Seems a very nice kid in the interview too. He's apparently meant to be very good from the blocks but sadly that's the only reason why he's not in the final tonight.

Hoping for a massive performance from Bolt

Be good to see him ram it down the doubters throats with a 9.5

Unfortunately, they cater to the masses and they want the trash celebs.

Saw that earlier on facebook. Maybe if people took more of an interest in these events a bit more than once every 4 years then the media would focus on it more.

Is our triple jumper an OAP ???

Ask a journalist and he will tell you that. They might want to report on it, but their bosses decide what to print. It's a catch-22. No interest without coverage and no coverage without interest.

:lol:

I think she came here from Cuba recently. Saw her get interviewed on ITV news a while back and she seemed a nice lady so good luck to her.

Carmelita Jeter must use more hair gel than Ronaldo.
