Maybe not alot of athletics followers on here, but this was incredible tonight...

Only Bolt ever ran faster and this was on 0.07 quicker... so Michael Johnson... be interesting to see what Johnson thinks of this 21 year... more exciting than Bolt? I'd say so, fastest youngster ever over 100m... 21, he's around 4 years off his sprinting prime yet... INCREDIBLE!

Although have since found this... so...

"Prior to the 2009 World Championships, Blake (along with Marvin Anderson and Sheri-Ann Brooks) tested positive for the stimulant 4-Methyl-2-hexanamine.[10][11] A disciplinary panel organised by the Jamaican Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) cleared him of a doping infraction on the grounds that the drug was not on the World Anti-Doping Agency's banned list. However, JADCO appealed their own panel's ruling, stating that the athlete should be disciplined as the drug was similar in structure to the banned substance tuaminoheptane.[12] As the panel would resolve the issue after the World Championships, the Jamaica Amateur Athletic Association took the precaution of withdrawing Blake from the relay race.[13] The appeals tribunal decided that a ban would be appropriate, and Blake and the three other sprinters each received a three month ban from competition.[14]"

They should have a sport where they just let the athletes use whatever enhancers they want. If they want to use it to push them selves, let them I say.

The only problem with that logic, and reason why it is anything but logical, is that children have a high tendency to emulate pro athletes. Moms and dads do not like their children taking enhancers that hurt them, and most are highly illegal anyway.

Then that's the failing of the parents.

I have never got why society has somehow decided that sport players should be "role models".

Lol yeah it's be great watching random people drop dead.


You've no idea about the harmful effects of those drugs have you?

They shouldn't. But they are regardless if they should or shouldn't be. And I bet most would rather not have to be, given the choice.

Do you?

If taken responsibly and in a controlled fashion, cycling on and off to help the body recover and know how to counter the side effects, there isn't that much bad with steroids. You can't eliminate all the bad of steroid but you can limit it.

There's a lot of bullshit about steroids, especially with a lot of people blaming steroids for Chris Benoit and saying they were solely responsible.

Actually yes... through personal experience.

And the positives never out weigh the negatives especially with steroid use.

You think if there was a free for all competition the use of enhancers would be responsible?

And this is the attitude that starts cheats and has wrecked the whole of world wide athletics since Ben Johnson and since then the constant findings of top "athletes" or as I like to call them, cheatign scum!... yeah lets put bionic arms on people and legs... why not?[cursing]

Lets just forget about human endeaver and being THE BEST as a HUMAN BEING. Lets train on enhancers, and then like Formula One, see who has the fastest enhancer

[AliceFromHouston]

I bet he's never missed the bus.

Hell yeah, now we're talking. Maybe it would even help push cybernetics research if people willingly tested them in competitive sports.

Not at all, there are people out there that would be more than willing to use steroids stupidly and be happy to have a heart attack at 50 just for the chance of Olympic Gold. You would also get a rich vs poor divide as well, athletes who can afford the best drugs vs athletes that can't.

Athletics and sport should be completely natural, the problem is that testing isn't reliable enough as you do get false positives that ruin an athletes career and you also get false negatives as well that portrays a cheater as a natural athlete. I would also go as far to say that athletes that compete with artificial aids, in relation to the South African runner using blades, should be outlawed from a natural, able bodied competition.

I bet he never takes one.

Or you could just have two versions of the Olympics, Enhanced and Natural, with world records for both types. [beta]

Thats what the para-Olympics will turn into when everyone turns into JC Denton .
