I'm sure they weren't all on the same day, but Frank Budd and Ray Norton finished last and next to last in the 100 with fast times going in, the men's 4x100 was DQ (zone violation I think), and either Budd or Norton (Budd I think) ran poorly in the 200. Roger Ruth wrote: SGMW wrote, of

OK, if USATF can't comment, then who the hell even confirmed it for the article? If this is the name that we've all been wondering about (OK, some of us knew - not me), how did it come out now? And our buddy Dick Pound hopped right on the bandwagon, but wasn't this athlete cleared, and didn't

The IAAF is now waiting to receive a full report from USATF on the conclusion of its investigation before considering if any further action is necessary. I'll gladly give them a full report and even help them with what action to take ... I'll tell them where to shove it. Dan =

Why shouldn't there be variances in 100 meter sprinting, just as there is in longer races--though I realize there's (probably) no such thing as a tactical hundred meters. 400 meter quality, for example, has been (temporarily) down since Michael Johnson retired. (Do you think fans would be
