Well my point is the claim that
Is neither true nor logical. Many are caught for the first time after winning something.
Yes medal stripping has dropped , logically this could be better testing or athletes are better at beating the tests

RepoMan007:
Stop playing the race card. Look at the argument of the doubters. How likely that so many runner were setting PBs(Personal Bests) and the winner broke the previous world best? Think and stop the blind race argument.

Some African Americans can't stand Africans. Michael is one of them.

Painment

theafricanchild:
If it were to be that she is related to Usein Bolt or Mariam Jone the record will not be questionable but because it's a name that they can't pronounce and for the fact that she is from Nigeria the record is debatable. What sort of hatred and racism is this. Am beginning to feel that this white folks have low self esteem ooh cos I don't understand.

philipobiz:

See. Michael Johnson big head. When he was breaking records in 200 and 400 meters like water nobody talk. Now he is running his mouth like water. He is jealous

Well, if the previous tests revealled what they called 'abnormal parameters'...that would raise suspicions.

That's why medal stripping during major competitions is becoming rarer...they get caught before major competitions...

(The reason why they are stricter is what happened with athletes from many countries over the years eg East German athletes and even American athletes taking illict drugs out of competition to gain an advantage and then stopping before competition..and testing 'negative')

Yes, the point you make used to be true in the pre-Dick Pound, and BALCO days, nowadays, WADA does frequent testing throughout the year. If Amusan was on drugs, they would have gotten her long before. There would have been strange twitches in her physiologic measurements.

(However if Amusan is on a new synthetic drug that hasn't registered on WADA's radar yet..that's another matter....which is how the BALCO geng got away with it, until someone sent a syringe of the stuff to a approved lab)

twentyfivekobo:



If she was on drugs, they would have known since.

aribisala0:
My point is that your claim
IS WRONG. All these long story does not change that. There are many different kinds of drugs. Some drugs disappear or are undetectable within 24 hours especially water soluble drugs unlike some steroids. No one is tested everyday and the pattern of use and other tricks can help evade detection e,g cocaine will not be detected after 2 days so unless you test an athlete every two days you won't detect it
We do not know why medal stripping is lower certainly testing plays a role but it may be because athletes have smart scientists helping them to beat tests.
Tests can be beaten they are not perfect
I am not talking about Amusan AT ALL. I am talking about drug testing in general.
People may not use drugs all the time and

aribisala0:
There is NO EVIDENCE of racism. Michael Johnson is very black
This statement is what smacks of low self esteem.

With racism you MUST have evidence otherwise you end up sounding foolish.

I do not see any hatred or racism at all. She ran a race and not only her but several of her competitors ran PERSONAL BESTS so there is nothing wrong in raising doubt. If anything raising doubt HELPS HER because after the scrutiny if her record is upheld then her position is stronger.

aribisala0:
Must you talk? If you do not have knowledge on a subject keep quiet and educate yourself. What was the previous record which she broke?

ArchiLimited:
If a British or Jamaican had smashed the record they would praise her for being a legend. But a Nigerian has done it and because they can't wrap their heads around the fact that something legendary can come out of Nigeria, they've brought out their empty pundit English to analyze emptiness. Don't just let Nigerians swear for you guys. This is one thing that has given the nation joy recently in the midst of all we're passing through so let us enjoy our girl in peace plix

Modified:
All of you people quoting me to say I'm playing the race card, I think you guys have self esteem issues. Has the world athletics organisation who organised the tournament come out to invalidate her record? So because a couple of British blokes spoke we should take it immediately as the truth because anything the British say becomes authority? Wake up and stop sucking up to the westerners! Stand and have some self worth. They won't be celebrating Amusan today if she was always playing second fiddle to her western opponents.

Pristine664:


All these small kids that think they can just open their mouth wahhh and talk anyhow to anyone online.

They said wind they push the runners...
But them no dey consider when the wind direction resist the speed of the runners..

All na scam...the girl run 12.06sec...them use ojoro push am back 12.12 sec.....say na wind push am...

AKWATGOLD1:
Tobi Amusan is not only runner in the race, therefore all the runners is subjected to same seconds of time deducted from Nigeria legend.

They should update Google already
Abi wetin i dey miss for here

olisaEze:
If she had broken the record while wearing British colors, they’d be claiming her in a hurry like they did Anthony Joshua. But she did it in an African nation’s colors, nothing good is supposed to come out of Africa especially Nigeria as far as these racists are concerned!

aribisala0:
It was not only her time that was questioned. Several others ran a personal best. So the questioning was of the TIMING and it was not just for her but for others who were setting personal or National records
So this was not just about her. Let us retain perspective
People(journalists) were asking a legitimate question. WHy are there so many records in this race. That is their job.
Normally we tend to see that when the wind factor is above what is legal. That was not the case but their questioning was right . It was not just about Amusan in fact if the others had not set records too it might not have been an issue

OBTMOS:
Racist people

Thanks for the clarification. I see your point.

Yeah they will question it, it is expected, would they have questioned it had she been an American, Briton or Jamaican? You guys even descended so low as to check her shoes? Bloody hypocrite’s, she’s the world best and there’s nothing you guys can do about it, congrats angel, keep on making us proud.
