Its also a giveaway sign of someone having their teeth straightened

i wish i had your faith in modern atheletes

 

[Lord Camomile]

did you see the distance she won by? only a short race too

To be fair, I think it was just a heat, she's probably up against a lot of competitors who just can't match her.

Not categorically saying she isn't doping, but the evidence thus far is a little circumstantial.

sure... its just her build + braces is very suspect.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Tee hee hee, great interview with PSD Kind of like a kid who's had too much sugar but is trying to be 'sensible'

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aye, it's a fair observation I suppose, though a shame it's never far from people's thoughts.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh Asafa, what have you done you silly boy

 

[ska invita]

it really depresses me tbh.... cheating in sport full stop...particularly with doping its depressing the way athletes feel pressured to have to do it to compete...anyhow, lets think the best and enjoy it

Steroids cause osteoporosis which is why long term steroid users often need braces. If she's using steroids it'll be picked up either in competition or out of season even if she's cycling the stuff - basically its not worth the risk when there are other drugs that are much more sophisticated, ones which don't cause bone loss.The tests for steroids are pretty damn sophisticated, hence not so popular amongst competetive athletes.

Ergo I doubt very very much she's using a drug that results in her needing braces. If she's doping, it'll be a bloody sight more sophisticated. The woman is getting her teeth fixed

 

[Lord Camomile]

Now, wait for the bloody gun...

Oooh nice bit of taping on Aldama's shoulder.

I do like a bit of tape

 

[felixthecat]

*dirty old woman mode*
Dammit Ryan Bailey is a FINE looking young man!
*exit dirty old woman mode*

 

[Lord Camomile]

I was just thinking I always think it looks horrific (as in "that must be a bad injury", rather than poor workmanship). Think I'm taking it too literally and that they're having to be taped together

i hear that, but what has made me extra dubious was that in the documentary they were saying that in the US especially they have the best 'doctors' and the most cutting edge drug technology - theres basically a parallel race in Olympics that goes on - new drug technology outracing what the doping centers are aware of - a bit like with drug laws, get an illegal drug like MDMA change a couple of molecules and create something that isnt known/banned yet. Like i say, lets think the best and wish her a happy dental life

 

[felixthecat]

Oh my lord - he stopped running 10 metres out!!!

 

[IC3D]

Bad luck Dwain.

Often its simply protective, but that was her acromioclavicular joint being held together. And for once, good old leukotape, no expensive fancy coloured K-tape!

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'm starting to suspect you've done more than read a couple of Guardian articles

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh good, Gemili's next to Blake. Maybe he can get a bit of drifting on...

 

[weepiper]

Adam Gemili looks like he can't quite believe he's there

 

[ska invita]

According to QI and the Metro, Bolt isnt "the fastest man who has ever lived" (like the commentator just said) - ancient humans were faster and fitter http://www.metro.co.uk/news/754294-...n-usain-bolt-and-stronger-than-schwarzenegger

 

[Espresso]

Adam Gemili looks thrilled to be on the starting line!
Cool

 

[Lord Camomile]

Strong finish, but will it be enough...?

Oh drug technolgy is ALWAYS one step ahead of the testers. Its a highly sophisticated business. And the testing ain't cheap - I've been on the comittee of a group advocating steroid tesing in the military and the cost compared with the standard fun drugs test is ridiculous! Lord knows how much it must cost to develop the tests.

Tbf I have heard it from two 'reliable' sources now. Someone from the internet and someone face to face....who I know from the internet

It was just a weird coincidence having had a conversation over lunch about the 'big chins/braces' steroid connection and then reading it on here having never heard anything about it before!!

why advocate for no steroids in the military felix?

Just a bit more than that.........

Guns and roid rage don't go together very well.

You bought the Olympics Special issue of the UKA magazine, didn't you?
