RM Monitor And Standards Officer 112,264 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 What's the script there?Just watched the 100m on the race and they never mentioned him in the build up to the race, nor when the camera panned across the athletes as they were introduced and nor at the end of the race.I know he was caught doping but to totally ignore an athlete in the race seems a bit OTT Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieD 19,964 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 It's hilarious. Likewise the constant negative references to Justin Gatlin.I appreciate that treating Bolt like some sort of God is appropriate if he is clean, because if he is clean, he must be a God. He's nearly 0.3 seconds faster than the next untainted sprinter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bad form to get caught and taint the national programme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's that I think it's that he didn't maintain his innocence and blame his coach like pretty much every other doper does, he openly admitted that he took every drug under the sun to make him run faster, because he had no chance of competing against a doped field otherwise.Sports commentators are, by and large, clueless simpletons who like to convince themselves that most athletes are clean and above that sort of thing. They don't like to be confronted with harsh truths. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 100% certain there were unrepentant, uncaught dopers in that race tonight. Chambers isn't one of them. Yet he's shut out.I'm starting to like Justin Gatlin, even though he's a wanker, and he's clearly still doping, because he gets the hypocrites frothing at the mouth.

He blamed a masseur for rubbing testosterone cream into his buttocks without his knowledge He is also running consistently better times in his "clean" 30s than he was during his doped prime. Make of that what you will. He has run faster than Bolt this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
