This pisses me off

I have met and competed against many gifted athletes in my time, but Justin Gatlin was one of those rare talents that would leave you in awe of what he could do on a track. After my event finished on Day 1 of 4 at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships during my senior year, the only thing that brought me back to the track (and out of the bars where I was celebrating!!) on Day 4 was to watch his event. His speed is sick. He won the 200 M in a blazing time and practically walked across the finish line because the closest competitor was 20 meters behind. He had the talent to go after Michael Johnson’s 200 meter record if he practiced hard enough (think Joe D’s 56). He neither used, nor needed the drugs then. Why start now? It looks like his career is over after winning gold at both the Olympics and World Championships. He is only 24. All other sports should adopt this policy. Talk about conviction.
