WTF is going on?

Gatlin has been banned for life for testosterone? Can anyone remember the last clean champion?

In recent years drug takers have included: Gatlin, Chambers, Kenteris, Montgomery, Christie and for women Thannou and Jones.

A 22 year old Asafa Powell running 9.77s only makes me wonder if he just didn't get caught.

A sport I used to love watching has become a joke.

Her coach is the same one as Gatlin, Montgomery and Hunter. (All guilty of doping)

She of course denied the accusation (don't they all?) but has won f'all since.

I remember something about cj hunter being on the news saying that hes seen/helped her take steroids.

but you cant really speculate as to whos taking steroids and who isnt without proof(a conviction) because as you rightly point out and as i suspect it seems to be so prevalent now days that if your were to have listed all the "possibles" it would have been endless.

I hope Asafa Powell isnt cheating because he seems such an exiting sprinter, i love watching him run and if he's doing these kind of times now unaided then  he'll absolutely destroy the record soon, something closer to 9.60 maybe.

Ive watched a couple of his interviews where he actively denounces the use of steroids and has talked about cleaning up the sport and exposing the drug cheats, which if he is one, then he's setting himself up for a big fall.

Depressing stuff from the European championships, i like athletics but as a team we look so weak, johnson sits there and gives all this great advice on how to improve the state of British athletics and because we think he's criticising our backs go up, we have a little pop back and then carry on as usual, the team looks soooooooo weak!!!
