JamieD 18,932 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 What did you think of his commentary in the 100m tonight? It sounded as if he came quicker, than Bolt came across the line."He may well have saved his sport."I think my eyes rolled out of their sockets.

JamieD 18,932 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Michael Johnson just gave a fair, reasonable, balanced assessment of the Justin Gatlin issue there, while holding him fully responsible for his own actions, and even dared to point out that he is NOT a "two-time drug cheat", as Steve Cram keeps saying; his first positive was for prescription medication he had been on since he was a child.Can't be having that on the BBC. It doesn't fit the simple good vs evil narrative. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Cram buy Merritt's penis enlargement excuse, but not Gatlin's "masseur touched my buttocks with testosterone cream to frame me" excuse? Both are equally laughable Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think "Dehydroepiandrosterone" would flag up some concerns even if you didn't know what it was.
