[Yayo Toure]

Asafa Powell was banned 18 months for doping.

When he was washed. Them prime runs were clean. This isn't Carl Lewis testing positive for steroids and the USA giving him a pass to run the Olympics.

 

[Yayo Toure]

Gave Trinidad & Tobago gold in the Beijing 4x100m

That's not why they won. Was Nesta Carter.

Paris should never hold an Olympics games again.. who said that shyt was a good idea to swim in that filthy ass water? At least they should’ve had that event in the south of France in Nice where they could swim in the belaric sea

I agree ... but to be honest, what major city in the world has a clean river? They should stop swimming in rivers altogether

 

[Copy Ninja]

The track and field presentation in Paris this whole Olympics has been

Well done France

@Liu Kang

They locked out Shacarri and Shelly for over an hour and fukked up their warm up session before the finals.

Didn’t say it was perfect but they do a lot of good

 

[Megadeus]

[MikelArteta]

Lyles literally walked around the whole stadium with his nametag hoisted in the air. Oh, he about to be on some Saiyan level shyttalking ,for real

I know Lyles gonna fly to Jamaica and walk around with that gold. Saw a vlog of him with his Jamaican gf at the KFC down in Kingston

[Dillah810]

Rip to this guy

Breh literally did the smiley

 

[Liu Kang]

One athlete out of 100 ?

And you can alsoget E.coli from eating bad meat as well. At the moment, this is simply a correlation tbh

 

[skyrunner1]

I missed the 100m

Catch the replay breh, that was an instant classic.. The buildup, intros, the actual race

The photo finish with even the announcer blowing his load for jamaica

 

[The axe murderer]

200 is doable.. Blake damn near broke it, after having a horrendous start.

But Blake was special too. Scratch what I said earlier, breaking that 200 isn’t doable

To be honest I think flo jo record is almost as hard to beat for the women as the bolt one may be.

 

[skyrunner1]

This man was last in first half of race and walked everyone down..

Fool multiple members of Jamaican track team (men and women) got caught doping during that same test. They finally figured out masking agents by the time Usain Bolt came along, but then they forgot to give the masking agent to Jamaican sprinter Nesta Carter which is why Bolt was stripped of his 2017 medal in the 4x4 100 relay race.

BBC sports editor

Jamaica's most senior drug tester says the country's recent rash of failed tests might be the "tip of an iceberg".
Dr Paul Wright told the BBC that the Caribbean island's anti-doping regime had been woefully short of the international standards required.
His comments come a week after the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) visited Jamaica to investigate claims that the country's athletes were not being tested rigorously enough.
