[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 868576, member: 70552"] That's the problem. I'm a huge Bolt fan, but even I can see he is now past his best. But he has been made out to be some Demi god who has a god given right to finish as a winner. Had Coleman won gold there wouldn't have been a problem. But the fact it was Gatlin and what he "represents" and that he had the temerity to beat Bolt with his history. It is the rules that stink, not Gatlin. This whole drugs issue can't be lumped on his shoulders, and Bolt shouldn't be made out to save the sport, as he will be gone after this week from Athletics. The fact this is the 100m the no.1 headline act in Track and field doesn't help, of course. Gatlin winning was poetic justice to remind Athletics that PEDs tarnishing their sport is not going away and no one man can save it from the problem. Anyone want a decent read have a look at "the dirtiest race in history" by Richard Moore covering the 1988 100m Olympic final. [/QUOTE]
