| Stop hating on ... ( 1 month ago by Blaktalant) |
| Stop hating on Powell, he's a very humble guy, he never brags about himself, and even if he does he deserves it. You're just mad because all the U.S runners are drugged up and still they can't win shit. All U.S runners in the past were taking steroids and the present ones are still doing it. JAMAICA HAS THE THE GREATEST SPRINTERS. |
| The US history of ... ( 4 weeks ago by decadyne) |
| The US history of track and field has FEW cheaters for the vast amount of champions. You want to be taken seriously? Stop bloviating over a few convictions and start acting like an adult, with adult observation skills. Grow up. YOU'RE just jealous because your JOKE of a government makes an economic mockery of you on the international stage. Want to be taken seriously? Start testing your athletes like a REAL industrialized country does. Start acting like REAL champions who know history. |
| You think the US ... ( 4 weeks ago by Blaktalant) |
| You think the US only has a FEW cheaters? We've only seen the few that have been caught, what about the rest who were doping long before anyone got serious about it. I'm sympathetic though, u guys can't help it. The US has always been a country that produces cheaters and fuck ups. All your heroes, in sports or otherwise, go down eventually. e.g. Elvis - addict, Gatlin - cheater, Bush - Dumbest leader ever, Micheal - child molester, Martha - criminal, should I go on?NAME 1 JAMAICAN FUCK UP! |
| You're talking ... ( 4 weeks ago by Blaktalant) |
| You're talking about fucked up government! You should never venture there. Did u forget GEORGE W. BUSH, who waged a war on Iraq claiming Saddam had nukes, destroyed a country and didn't find as much as a bullet. BUSH who can't even construct a proper sentence, talks like a 3rd grader. And what does economy have to do with track & field? Ur just mad cuz a third world country can not only beat u guys but put u to shame in a sport the US once dominated ha! |
| 1. We agree about ... ( 4 weeks ago by decadyne) |
| 1. We agree about Bush. I hate that administration well more than you do. They are making us bankrupt, like Jamaica. 2. Economics IS sports. I've been to Jamaica. It is in TERRIBLE shape. You don't have the economy to produce a legit testing program. No credibility. 3. Jamaica didn't dominate the Olympics, rasta. You won a few sprints. The US had a terrible meet and we STILL had the most medals by far. 4. Most track fans would like to cheer for Jamaica, but you fools have been insufferable. |
| You want me to name ... ( 4 weeks ago by decadyne) |
| You want me to name one Jamaican cheat? Here's an impartial list of NINE. James Beckford, Jamaica, Ephedrine Suzette Lee, Jamaica, Salbutamol Aston Morgan, Jamaica, Steroids Dorian Scott, Jamaica, Cannabis Merelene Ottey, Jamaica, Nandrolone Under investigation: Delloreen Ennis-London Jamaica, Somatropin, for "female condition". LOLOL. Yeah. Adrian Findlay, Jamaica, Testosterone Jamaican-born: Linford Christie (b. Jamaica) - stimulant Ben Johnson (b. Jamaica) - stimulant |
| Ha! ok, so u found ... ( 3 weeks ago by Blaktalant) |
| Ha! ok, so u found a few, eight to be exact,remember! MERLENE OTTEY'S name was cleared, and a few of the other cases haven't been confirmed. So what are we looking at? Eight athletes in comparison to the US's ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT (148) HA! Eight of who were disqualified at the Olympics! U know I can't name them all, too many |
| There were not and ... ( 3 weeks ago by decadyne) |
| There were not and are not 148 doping Americans in track and field, you HUGE lying IDIOT. Why are making stuff up? You know why? You DONT KNOW ANYTHING. Here are the facts: Jamaica: 12+ cheaters US: 48+ cheaters Jamaica has 2,780,132 people. US has 305,113,008 people. Jamaica has a higher RATE of cheating than the US by FAR: 0.000431 percent of Jamaica cheats. 0.000016 percent of US cheats. Jamaica has a much, much higher rate of cheating. Looks like Jamaica wins the gold. IN DOPING! |
| All it takes is a ... ( 3 weeks ago by decadyne) |
| All it takes is a little math and reality to shut you up. You can deny the numbers all you want. I don't care, and the rest of the world doesn't care. But it doenst matter. The fact is Jamaica is a TINY country with an ENORMOUS rate of cheating. Once born, the average person on the island is MUCH MORE LIKELY to cheat in athletics than if he/she was born in the US. Those are the facts. You have FEW people and MANY cheaters. Deny it all you want. The numbers don't lie, but you do. |
| LIST OF DOPING ... ( 3 weeks ago by Blaktalant) |
| LIST OF DOPING CASES IN SPORTS, Google that shit! I am not lying about the 148 athletes, oh! U thought I was just talking about track & field, ha! I'm talking Cycling, Boxing, Football, Basketball, Baseball, Tennis, and i can go on and on, but what would be the point? I don't care, and I can't change anything, neither can U so here ends this argument. JAMAICA STILL HAS THE 2 FASTEST MEN, AND 3 FASTEST WOMEN ON EARTH |

| So what if you have been to Jamaica? Have you been all around the island? I bet you went to the slums Kingston (let us not forget that kingston's good areas are overshadowed any many of these foreigners excursions)and basically summed up your flawed arguments there. Way to use a sociological imagination like Mills. God bless the rest of the world. Havent people notice that America is never happy for anyone. It is a truely jealous country. |
| For one of the ... ( 3 weeks ago by sashi876) |
| For one of the youngest countries in the world, they want to take over, and boast..etc. Jamaicans dont worry about Americans, the rest of the world loves you. Don't belive? Go to sweeden, italy, JAPAN!!!, China, India, heck even Canada the list goes on. |
| And as far as the ... ( 3 weeks ago by sashi876) |
| And as far as the olympics goes, friend Id be embarassed if they US didnt do as well as they did considering population size. How are going to compare jamaica and the U.S? That is silly. Jamaica;s population is 2.8 million..yet we came out with 11 medals in track and field alone..yet a huge country like canada 30 million came out with only 18 and the participated in everything. LOL come on now. If there are any mistakes in this lol pardon me, too excited when I type. Good day |
