    F**K NBC

    What a load of bull. Luckily i had a backup stream.

    How the hell do you not show the 100m final live on TV. Why the hell do we have to stream it. And they have the Olympics until 2020 i think :mad:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Gatlin

    It's been 2 years. Last Friday was the 2-year anniversary of his return to competition (8/3/2010).

    Did you know he was originally banned for 8 years, but ended up having it cut in half?

    How can they let a doped player get in the game? Thats something really beyond my understanding. If that player is from China, he will be the headline for days on CNN, NYT and BBC.

    Are you talking about Gatlin? He failed years ago. He's obviously passed the drug tests now or he wouldn't be running.

    history matters. The guy was a doper and a cheater in his own history. Where are the doubters? :rolleyes:

    There is a great chance that he is still benefited from the drugs he used to take.

    You do realize many athletes probably use "drugs" they're not suppose to take and stop later on to pass drug tests, right? There are also certain drugs/supplements that are banned in certain sports, yet acceptable in others.

    I'm not sure where you get there is a great chance that he is still benefiting from this. Are you familiar with the drug he was banned for?

    Finally, Gatling's coach at the time had a history of having athletes who turned in positive tests. He has a different coach now. It's not crazy to think his old coach may have been slipping his athletes something to improve their performances, possibly unknowingly.

    No idea. I thought he's essentially banned for life.

    So, is writing "excuse" your excuse for not coming up with a valid argument?
