Don't care, personally.
Bollicks, I really ballsed that up didn't I? I'd love to blame autocorrect but .... no. Just good old-fashioned stupidity I'm afraidWho is this Justin Gatland? Related to Warren?

Then why comment?
Err, to put forth my opinion - that I don't particularly care that Gatlin took droogz. That wasn't particularly clear in my post.

Bolt's handled his retirement as well as Fergie did, first time round.
But he won't come back, his race is run (sorry!) He won't get any better, he's got nothing to prove and has zillions in the bank. Carrying on could only erode his legacy.
He's younger than Gatlin, but he's been in the spotlight for half his life after winning the world juniors at 15 against kids 3 or 4 years older. Sure he plays up to the public image, but years of not being able to fart without it being on the front page has to be pretty wearing.
The Jamaican track record (sorry again!) isn't great, but I genuinely think he's clean. He's a once in a generation genetic freak who rewrote the rules of his sport, just like Lomu did.
Haha, just pulling your leg, I knew who you meant.
I definitely know his name, had been whatsapping about him with no issues all day - I honestly think because it's TRF and I'm *****ing about someone I'm just conditioned to write "Gatland" ... it just feels right y'know?!
You mentioned Michael Jordan, I could see Bolt following a similar path and trying to make it in a different sport. Apparently he's a very good fast bowler (not surprised given his build, athleticism and cultural background), and a rabid football fan too. Wouldn't be surprised to see him give one or t'other a go.
Ohorugu is not 'confirmed doper' she missed 3 tests out of competition tests within a certain window but she had passed tests 9 days before and 3 days after her final fail to be tested.

She received a 1 year ban and rightly so but quashed the BOA Olympic Ban stance.
I wish people would get their bloody facts straight before using phrases like that. You can't call her a confirmed doper because she has never been caught doping.
I've no problem with him serving his ban and competing again (and winning) there has to be a level on any charge where someone deserves to come back. If he'd been twice banned as a professional (the first ban was before he was pro and was quashed) he should of served a life ban. 4 years however was entirely reasonable especially as he then acted as whistle blower.
I, too, would love him to be clean.
I imagine they will keep testing his samples, they've caught some high profile cheaters from the last few Olympic games recently by testing old samples.
His comments about using them to level the playing field are interesting. How some athletes have naturally high testosterone levels so everyone else is at a disadvantage and juices to catch up.
Gatlin's first ban was for adderall, are we gonna start banning 75% of American college students for five years?
