    Bolt dethroned

    The king of 100 meters finally lost his crown. Finished 3rd to 2 Americans. An absolutely amazing finish by Gatling to take the world title.

    Looks like somebody got themselves a better pharmacist. Dirtiest sport out there; They should light their dicks on fire at the finish line

    Cheating should hurt. But mostly it just sounds funny

    yeah he's been so superior he could get away with it at the highest level in the early rounds and get it together in the later rounds until now.

    i was mildly surprised that he didn't quit after the olympics but his attitude after losing is great as far as i have read. i'm sad his time is done but i'm glad he never got busted for doping. i grew up watching olympians at hayward field in the 70s, 80s and 90s and worked two olympic trials, numerous pre classics, numerous national championships. it's stating the obvious but he is the most electrifying sprinter i've ever seen by a mile.

    A galvanizing human to be sure. A man of the times Without Really Jumping the Shark. Would love affirmation of his no PED... I'm not steeped enough in the culture to cancel my doubts.

    Gatlin should share trophy cases with Carl Lewis

    NFL seemingly has 2-3 dudes per team test positive (with less stringent and less frequent testing) and gives them 4-game suspensions. Nobody gives a fuck that the cheaters get to rest for a few games and come back for the playoffs.

    I'm pretty sure almost every great of the last 20, 30 years has taken some banned PED.

    Gatlin said the boos from the stands helped motivate him.

    With no times under 9.9, it doesn't look like any doping

    Any high school/college sprinters here?

    What are your best 100 and 200 times?

    10.7 100m and 21.5 200m. Ran one year in HS, played hoops only for 3 years, then ran again in college one year.

    I was able to go sub-11 in 4x100 relays, but relay times tend to be quicker and less reliable. Starting from the blocks, I probably would've been on the other side of 11.5. I didn't touch the 200 in meets often enough to remember a time because I tended to be a 400m, relay, and field event guy. I was good enough to walk on in college, but I quit during pre-season my freshman year.

    They were all like, "whatever else happens, don't finish behind the white girl".

    No I know. She came on strong too, after an awkward start.

    I only ran the 100 if we had guys out. 200 and 400 were my specialties. Don't remember my times, but if "doping" is any measure, I was an Olympic hopeful.

    I ran a sub 12 second 100m in high school. I think my best time was 11.6 hand time or a 11.91 ET.

    That's fucking fast dude. I once ran a 10.5 100 but my average 100 was 10.8. Ran the 200 once due to an injury, 22 flat. Fucking hated that race. Told the coach never again. My 4x100 team took gold all 4 years of HS.
