Tyson Gay fails to qualify for the 200m

Olympics

comment on the article

After viewing the times in the quarterfinals in the US natinal championships it seems that tyson gay has failed to qualify for the Olympics because he didn't qualify in the top 3 as he didnt even get to the semi finals and due to the USA strict selection policy it is unlikely he will participate over the distance in the olympics

no, you're right, Mo Greene has not tested positive....

I think it's the current controversy going on in the US, and the implications it has for Greene, that made me forget about him!

The same people who named golden girl will soon name Maurice. He sonly alive and kicking right now as one would pressume he is discussing plea brargains for his get out clause..i.e. name and shame others...

Correct on DB, top man indeed. Sad to report that most 100m champions did cheat.

If this is true, it'll be most disappointing. I always believed MG was one of only a handful of elite sprinters, along with Michael Johnson and Donovan Bailey, to achieve what they did off the back of natural talent and hard work. Greene was a cocky so-and-so but I always interpreted his cockiness as "Look at you muppets, scoffing drugs left and right and you STILL can't beat me."

Glad to hear you believe Allan Wells was clean. Must be the ultimate compliment really (on this board anyway).

Kim Collins hasnt won anything. Gay hasnt tested postive, but all 100m WR holders do in the end. Greene will have to confess to avoid someone confessing for him.
