RESPONSE to "Joe"...
WTF are you talking about? Clearly you do not watch T&F. When has Asafa ever pulled out of a meeting from running against Bolt? NEVER thats when. Bolt is a 200M runner and Asafa is a 100M runner. Bolt has only tried the 100M this year with the exception of 2 races in 2007 where Asafa was not scheduled to run and Bolt did not win those races. Asafa has run against and beat all sprinters at least once each since 2004. He has even beat Tyson in their only meeting in 2006 (prior to the World Championships in 2007). 2007 Worlds was his 1 and only Championships. He did not run in the 2005 Worlds as he was injured and missed the end of that season. He has NEVER pulled out of a race with Gatlin. Both their agents were waiting for a BIG payday to make it worth it. It was well know they were negotiating a huge pay for both to run at Crystal Palace in England in 2006 when that drug cheat Gatlin was busted for drugs and banned. You need to go and take simple Google search to see all the races Asafa has ran and won. He is now 2nd on the all time list of sub-10 men 100M sprinters with over 30 sub-10 races. Only Maurice Green has more and now we know he may also have been a drug cheat. His only blip was that Worlds in 2007. I can bet you will not see that happen in the 2008 Olympics. Get your facts right or dont comment. Its very easy to shut down anyone who talks what they dont know these days with the internet. Try using Google before you speak what you clearly do not know.
