Calvin, Chryste, Regina; oh. my!

What a mess we have. You've probaly already heard of Dwain Chambers and Kevin Toth testing positive for THG, and Calvin Harrison's test for modafinil; but now there are reports saying that Chryste Gaines (!) came up positive for modafinil, and Regina Jacobs (?!) among 4 unnamed U.S. athletes for THG.

By God, I hope they're wrong on both counts. But stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen. Pretty soon, there'll be no one left to run in this sport.

Re: Calvin, Chryste, Regina; oh. my!

really, by reading the other threads already started -- we already know this (do people really read these boards or do they just like starting their own topics?)

Re: Calvin, Chryste, Regina; oh, my!

My bad. I've been WAY too busy over the last week, and I just found out about these three.

I think that all US track and Field Athletes are taking some kind of stimulant drugs. It just makes a lot of sense that a country which is known for the drug capital of the world will also contain the drugged atheles capital of the world. Don't you agree? If these drug testing athletings don't participate in competitions, athletes from Bangladesh and Pakistan will probably out run these western athletes.

Julius, you are an idiot.

This is so wide off the mark, it has to be an attempt to "rile up" US supporters. Surely if this were a serious message, other countries but Bangladesh and Pakistan would have been selected? Except for Muhammad Iqbal (a hammer thrower from way back when), I cannot think of one athlete from these two countries who was somewhat of a contender at any (Asian/Commonwealth) championship for the past ~50 years.

Correction - I should have left out the Asian Championships. I do not follow these closely, and perhaps athletes from Pakistan or Bangladesh have won medals there.

Re: Calvin, Chryste, Regina; oh, my!

US high schoolers will win almost all events if they competed at most of the these countries' nationals (India, pakisthan, Bangladesh et al.).

Rarely do the winners of the nationals in these countries run under 10.4s for 100 (M), 11.4s (W); 21.5, 23.0s; 46s,53s etc.. etc..
