**enid_sprinter** · 08-09-2004, 12:25 PM

what do you guys think

**Decat** · 08-09-2004, 03:37 PM

Probably Maurice. But I'm hoping Shawn comes around allitle more in the 100.

**enid_sprinter** · 08-09-2004, 05:03 PM

mo has gotten beat 3 times in the last month in the 100. i hope he wins it, hes actually a friend of mine, we grew up not far apart.

**Decat** · 08-09-2004, 06:23 PM

I've actually had a convo with him before. Still looking for Shawn to take it. Possible Gatlin.
Shawn definately in the 2.

**enid_sprinter** · 08-09-2004, 11:29 PM

powel from jamaica is kicking butt right now.

**enid_sprinter** · 08-09-2004, 11:30 PM

Any u've totally ruled out the Brits.......History should tell you never to do that!!!!!

However, in fairness I don't think that there will be a brit in the semi's let alone the final!

But I'm sure that the brits will surpirise us!

the brits have the worst sprint team in modern history. their stay chambers is out, and everyone else is just not cutting it. i have run faster times this year than most of the brits. i actually beat one of the guys on their sprint relay earlier this year in the 60m.

I don't realy give a ****k.

Thats said - I'm pretty sure there are no members of the British Sprint team who are or were members of Project World Record. Also, UK athletes are tested so much more then their US compatriates.

Chambers was very unlucky - but I just have this gut feeling that something awefull is going to happen with the US sprint team/relay team - possibly more adverse findings.

I quite sure that no-one can actually boast about the standard of the US sprint team when in recent months the amount of athletes under investigation and being banned has, well, shocked the world!

Lets just wait ans see - specualtating will get us no-where!

**partyboynyc** · 08-11-2004, 11:17 AM

one of balco's "clients" who hasn't been caught yet

**enid_sprinter** · 08-15-2004, 11:05 PM

i dont think either of those guys would be around even if they were healthy, they already peaked years ago.

Chambers was a long time client of Balco and project world record. I doubt he was the only Brit under Balco.
check this out-- http://www.snac.com/

its got a list of balco clients, balco basically owns snac. note the section saying ask victor, which is vic conte.
there is a list of sponsored athletes and many of them have tested out or are being questioned. i like the picture of Marion Jones with the bodybuilders.

**HUTCH** · 08-17-2004, 05:10 PM

Kim Collins....

**enid_sprinter** · 08-17-2004, 09:02 PM

I dont think Kim stands a chance.

your probably right but i ran with him at Central Arizona so I gotta show love for him.....if he ever starts juicin though then watch out...My real guess would be Greene or Powell.....

**enid_sprinter** · 08-19-2004, 01:22 AM

yea i would say kim is prolly clean, hes small as hell compared to everyone else. he is still **** good tho, i just dont see him steppin it up at this games.

**Badgerman** · 08-21-2004, 11:41 PM

I think the Jamaica dude......I don't know if Greene can get out fast enough

**enid_sprinter** · 08-22-2004, 01:40 AM

greene pounded him today. i think greene will take it. somewhere between 9.70-9.85

**RATM** · 08-22-2004, 03:32 PM

i hate running of any type, but that was a kick as s race.

**enid_sprinter** · 08-22-2004, 04:16 PM

it was the fastest overall 100m ever run i believe. I was really hopin greene could get it because he is older than most of the guys and his carreer is nearing end at 30.
