I am being genuine too. Neg me up as much as possible please. Cant beat em, join em
David Green is in the 400 hurdles lane 3. I reckon it was his lane in the semi like Ohourogu in the final was too far outside and the rest used her to run off of. So he could turn up tonight, he is world champ.
As for doping in track & field. I'd like to see a match up of full sprinters compared to long and triple jump runners. Generations have their record breaking athletes. Bolt was considered to tall and heavy to be a sprinter and was trained as a 400m runner. Michael Johnson to this day has the most odd running style. Bob Beamon set the long jump record in 68 and it lasted how long? Sports change, science is the factor, Hoy is built like a wilderbeast but Kenny got the knod - Hoy was Olympic champ in 08.
Stats comparing like for like Olympic champions in terms of age, height, weight, etc would give a glance at how athletes and their sports have evolved. It would also highlight either peculiar games (like 80) or dodgy decisions (Holyfield, RJ jr) or actual freaks (in the nicest possible terms) where an athlete is so different from the field that where they won the edge could be attributed to being a much more different shape and or size from the rest.
Indurain was a genetic peculiarity, lungs 40% bigger than normal and a heart one and a half times normal.
Britain's women's Hockey team aren't half playing long ball stuff. Dutch much more pleasing on the eye.

Bolt pictured with the Swedish womens handball team in a club partying. Working on pic.
Been watching the hockey for a quarter of an hour and I've only just realised the time is counting down, not up.
I was thinking I'd been watching it for longer than that.

With the exception of bolt mate (and the rumours about him are pretty much considered 'off the mark' at the minute) i havent really heard gossip about the others mentioned but did you watch the BBC documentary about Seoul 88 or read the dirtiest race in history ? Both of them talking about how just about all the 'sprint ' related athletes (which includes long jump ) were at it.
On the cycling front I was a a party on Friday and I don't know much about it but there was a former competition cyclist whose dad raced on the continent back in the day and the amphetamine abuse was apparently horrific and you only have to look at wiggins dad and the road he went down to back that up.

I'd like to disagree with you mate, but I fear there'll be some news about doping in the velodrome...and probably those horses in the show jumping were fed Mars Bars too.
