Sheri-Ann Brooks Cleared; Further Delays in Other Cases

[Speedfirst]

If Blake is eligible put him on the relay, no excuses about any team not fielding their strongest relay, cuz we know some will bring that up :shock:

This is general, by the way.

Yes, and when you create a reputation, you get treated differently, that's life in general, your credibility comes into question.

Do you realize that this is what is now happening to Jamaica? Slowly, surely, a reputation is being created.

Sherri Ann Brooks, Yohan Blake, Marvin Anderson, Lanceford Spence and Allodin Fothergill in 2009. Julien Dunkley in 2008. Steve Mullings in 2004. Patrick Jarrett in 2001. Merlene Ottey in 1999. Donovan Powel in 1995.

The list is growing, the reputation will follow suit.

Honestly, this is athletics. When something extraordinary is done, drugs must be considered. Reputation or not.

And this is the problem. Whenever anybody does something special there will the doubters and skeptics who believe drugs are involved (whether they are or aren't). This will be the case for all athletes in all sports for the rest of our lives. Unless of course PEDs are allowed........... but that opens up another can of worms.

I'd rather there be doubt but some legitimate performances than certainty and entirely fictitious results.
