He's still a glory-hunting Man U wanker.

Justin Gatlin would be a Chelsea fan.

Maybe Bayer Leverkusen, seeing as they're backed by a pharmaceutical company?

One of Bolts trainers was part of the US Balco doping scandal, not sure if he still works with him anymore.

If it's to do with the US, they call them "sneakers".

The "Bolt saves Athletics" idea isn't far removed from thinking that the Premier League and Man Utd saved English football.

Here's a bloke whose "ambassadorship" of the sport included only running when the money was right and when he wasn't going to be taxed on his earnings:

Athletics always seems a bit shit to me when you see people win medals for jumping.

That's some achievement from Rutherford to win all of the major medals.

We are up to 2nd in medals table with 3 Golds only Kenya with 4 above us.
Yanks completely cocked up a couple of events this morning where they were favourites
400m Hurdles and potentially the Long Jump the top American didn't qualify for the final 3 jumps.

Has anyone else noticed there are now athletes using the "I just want to be called by a single name" bollocks?

Here's a single name for you: ******
