Athletics World Championships thread

[CGM]

I'll be tuning in. I like the long distance events, but race tactics often piss me off. It pisses me off when they do a slow jog around the track for 9,600 meters then sprint the final lap. May as well just run a 400m event then.

Love a bit of Athletics Big H, I think the young Heptathlete looks good for a medal maybe even gold the name I cant think of right now.

Funny enough I have just finished reading Dwain Chambers book I would reccomend it quite an intresting read, and it just makes you wonder how many of these athletes are playing fairly. Also countrys such as Jamacia dont have independent drug testing say like the UK they just go buy the international athletics drug testing rules.

The only reason Chambers was caught was because a coach fell out with Conteh the man behind the THG drug and he sent a sample to the authorites so they would be able to detect it in future tests, the genral opinion is that the testers are about 10 years behind the so called chemists who are producing these new enhancing performance drugs.
