won by a cheat..

[ledepi34]

They failed badly in showing a close shot of Crowford after the finish line.

[YapeQdm]

1:11 Fail

[diogotomediogo]

European 100m record, Francis Obikwelu, 9.86s set in Athens, 2004

[4RKU5K1]

those bros in the suits lol

[dolfanlova]

what did shawn crawford say in the blocks? lmao

[95gabryela]

wooow...........

[duduvissotto]

SURPRISE, SURPRISE !!! USA LOST THE GOLD MEDALS!!

HOW LONG HAS THIS HAPPENED? HOW MANY MEDALS HAS THE USA STOLEN FROM HONEST RUNNERS? USA= DISGRACE !!!!

[barbosa973]

i wish obikwelo had won !! because I'm from Portugal lol it was really close

9.85;9.86 and 9.87

[raoulhery]

9.85??? this a heat time in today standards

[TheAngeltoDemon]

@raoulhery And THAT in my opinion is the big issue. Fans have been desensitized to fast races, everyone knows the Ben Johnson story, but that was alongside the Carl Lewis stimulant story, Linford up to no good as well, Calvin Smith has stated he should have gotten the gold in Seoul.

[iMalakai]

@staponsa1 i dont know where your from and i dont really care, but thats just one person from USA who used drugs at that time, i bet your country has pro track runners drugging up or really close to it. yes its wrong what he did, but actually hes back and hes almost as good as he was when he was on drugs, so hop off. and i do hope your jealous of the USA :)

[andreborges13]

If you liked crawford's face..

you really should see linford christie's face at 100m Semi-final 2 1996 Atlanta Olympics!

[ASTMG]

If them neva a tek drug dem would even get a medal.....dem naturally slow

[bijection765]

That look on Shawn Crawford's face at the start.....Priceless!!

[NAXE5]

Train for 4 years. Race for 10s. 

[Eddieshack67]

holy juice batman!!!

[JustAnEagle]

LOL look at usain bold .. at 04 .... like as a teenager

today ? hes laughin about these times :D

[944usainbolt]

@JustAnEagle thats asafa powell not usain bolt 

[HighQualityStandard8]

Gatlin has no conscience. Why would you celebrate knowing you've cheated? What a dog.

[octopusmagnificens]

@HighQualityStandard8 Because he knew that the others also cheated.

[TheAngeltoDemon]

@HighQualityStandard8 Depends, if you believe all your best compeition is cheating, which i think is the case to be honest.

[TheyCallmeBurr]

USA

[asithgftoc]

gatlin you cheating disgrace

[tabo7500]

He's the best!

[boxersforever3]

he was such a cocky shit after this..........thank god he was found to be illegal

[haroldsneed]

@boxersforever3 You have cocky mixed up with confidence...naive thinking Hater.

[boxersforever3]

@haroldsneed wow...........so i am naive?!

[haroldsneed]

@boxersforever3 That's what I said.

[boxersforever3]

@haroldsneed wow......thats bitchy

[3omab]

to bad gatlin will beat usains sorry little ass in 2012 hes back now

[boxersforever3]

@3omab the only reason why he beat bolt was because he was drugged to the eyes!

[EPizits]

@3omab Beat Bolt?!? Yea right. He'll be lucky if he can beat Christophe Lemaitre.

[TheAngeltoDemon]

@EPizits I agree, if anyone can do it , it's Tyson Gay or Asafa Powell. The younger guys will push the pace, but if everyone's healthy it's the big three Bolt, Gay and Powell.

[EPizits]

@TheAngeltoDemon Exactly. If gay were healthy this year he would most likely have beaten Bolt this year. Bolt isn't in the same form he was in two years ago. But he's still ahead of gatlin. Lol. Right now, Powell looks like he has a good chance to pull off an upset at the world champs as long as he stays focussed on his race.

[speedyslime93]

@3omab haha gatlin beat usain in 2012? Gatlin is a hasbeen, like Crawford. In 2010: 10.17s vs 9.82?? When Bolt ran 9.82 recovering from injury? And has run 9.58 and 19.19 for the 200m? Keep dreaming mate. I'd happily bet on Bolt beating Gatlin anyday of the year.

[ANZO89]

@speedyslime93 gatlin at 21 years of age had a PB of 9.85. Bolt at 21 was 9.76, not a big difference. just 0.9. gatlin will own bolt in 2012 and will be the olympic champion again. take that for granted.

[944usainbolt]

@ANZO89 gatlin will not own bolt hes been out too long he cant get to 9.6 shape by 2012 he can probably get to 9.8 again maybe even 9.7 but not 9.6

[keonist]

@ANZO89 you always seem to give wrong information, Bolt's PB at age 21 was 9.69. Not to mention his 9.72 in New York.

[944usainbolt]

@speedyslime93 a hasbeen? crawford is still competitive and is one of the best turn runners in history. Not saying anything Gatlin but Crawford is still one of the top 200 sprinters as of right now

[ugo288]

obikwelu should really be given a gold medal

[pitbull73]

Let`s face it: ANYONE who wins a sprint final is on drugs. They take the drugs under the build up training, and after a couple of weeks you can`t trace them. It`s ridicolous to beleive that Jamaica have so many top sprinters of world class with a population of only 2,3 million. Of course they take drugs. Don`t be stupid.

[pikachu832]

@pitbull73 haha, typical american. you probs don't know where jamaica is! stop defending gatlin, just cause ur man gets owned!!!

[TheAngeltoDemon]

@pitbull73 Thank you, totally acurate. Given the scandals, how can you NOT be suspicious? The world doesn't appreciate how much sprinting talent we lose to the NFL, they are too muscular for track, but there are so many guys who if Track was their focus, you would see increditble depth. Just this year, we have a 6ft or so 18yr old widereciever who is playing football, but in high school ran a 10.18 wind aided. But he will get too big to really run the sprints.Jeff demps, ran 10.01, now to big

[PolarManki]

Look at 1:12 guy in the black is trying to shake gatlins(?) hand. Funny how hes like to times smaller than the american hormone bulls next to him.

[Nelsonrc24]

@PolarManki hahahaha

[bfreak04]

@Soilets7 Tyson Gay hasnt been on steroids and he still kills people in the sport! and Bolt hasnt been declared a cheater for using roids u know why cause he doesnt neither does powell so stfu! ur just a sore loser dont be mad because ur country isnt good!

[Soilets7]

@bfreak04: Dude, just use your brain! About 15-20 years ago ALL athletes was taking steroids with their breakfast egg, but NOBODY made the 100m in 9,58s. And you seriously believe that today it is possible to make 100m in 9,58s clean?

[TheBlamus]

@Soilets7 Yes

[Lykissass]

@Soilets7

Well it's called learning from other people's mistakes. Training programs and fitness regimes have evolved and changed for the better. Food is more abundant and more healthy than past years. More sporting venues have been constructed with more people taking interest in the sport increasing competition. If what you're saying is true, then Usain Bolt has been taking steroids before the age of 12 cause by then he was already the fastest in the best sporting academy in Jamaica.

[PsychedelicKick]

Portuguese Obikwelu should have won this race and the gold medal...

[AlphaDraconis7]

JUSTIN GATLIN is an AMERICANS CHEAT...absolutely disguisting having to watch this. he KNEW he had cheated..yet he still was celebrating!!

[AlphaDraconis7]

AMERICANS ARE DRUG CHEATS

[TheAngeltoDemon]

@AlphaDraconis7 So are the british, some caribean nations, the greeks, we haven't even gotten into the throwers. What goes around comes around.Marion would still be the darling had BALCO never blown up, victor conte was great at his job, until he got busted. Maybe Jamaicans and Tyson Gay are really that fast, it's possible, and the fact that they have injuries here and there is indicative of not taking drugs. Personally, just my opinion, regardless of country, the sprint times are too fast.

[1987bugsy]

@AlphaDraconis7 ''Jamaican sprinter Steve Mullings 'tests positive' for banned substance''

[turnbacktime]

next year, he was denied an early return by the iaaf.

[JamRoca]

gatlin - what an absolute ass...

[strecke800]

He will be back in summer 2010!

[chutsu]

@strecke800 he's banned from the track for 4 years for drugs since 2007... won't come back till 2011

[nrno]

will gatlin back??

thats wonderful

[devidia]

@topv8 now

[dammage7]

this is race where kim collins 10m split was 1.67. this is apparantley a record.

[steroid88]

i respect their doping doctors more than the atlethes

[ArticulateDon]

Obikwelu was on something... He never did a thing in athletics & then all of a sudden ran 9.86..... Greene was the real winner of that race

[TomSouthLondon]

greene was also on drugs , i wouldnt be surprised if 90% of the sprinters in this race are.

[ArticulateDon]

Probably... Deep down I think everybody is waiting for the front page headline about Usain Bolt getting caught!

[politeista12]

yeah i am. it`s just hard to believe that someone is that fast

[AntillRS]

I'm a big Obikwelu fan, in fact he was my favourite, but I do see where you are coming from. He had an unusually good championship, running under 10 seconds 3 or 4 times in Athens. He never really repeated that performance . But where do you draw a line? He has never failed a test and neither has Greene, whereas Gatlin has. It does bother me that Gatlin gets to keep his world and Olympic medals despite continuing to lie about his drug use.

[ArticulateDon]

Yeah that doesn't make sense to me either!

[nickic272]

When dose gatlin make his come back

[rb1a1ba]

Man, imagine how fast Obikwelu would have run if he had gotten a good start?

[AntillRS]

Justin Gatlin is a prick, and he always will be. Not because he took drugs to win, but because he didnt admit to it when he got caught.

He comes up with the same bullshit excuse they all use, of not knowing how his testosterone level got to be 1,0000000 times higher than it should have been.

He should do what Dwain chambers did. Grow a spine, and admit what everyone already knows, which is he cheated. Then he can be respected as a man and not just an athlete.

[RodionRUSDUB]

True, Dwain showed himself as a man, not a lying bitch like this one.

[jimscorcher]

crawford sure ws cocky in them days now he ass is so humble u dont know he is even there thanks to bolt and them other fast ass dudes ,sucker, and plz bring back gatlin so he can retire properly with a good ass whooping from the boss mr bolt

[sdotlondonkid]

when is he coming back

Yohan Blake, Walter Dix, Tyson Gay, Usain Bolt, Justin Gatlin, Asafa Powell, Richard Thompson, Mike Rogers, Dwain Chambers.

Thats the race love to see.

[merseyside4]

1=Bolt 2=Gay 3=Gatlin 4=Powell 5=Thompson 6=Dix 7=Chambers 8=Rogers 9=Blake lol. Thats what id say. But in my mind the 5 best sprinters are....1=Bolt 2=Powell 3=Gay 4=Gatlin 5=Dix

[gangstaboi281]

Wtf did dude (lane 4) say when he got into the blocks?

lol he look crazy lmfao

[THEZORKK]

Obikweluuuuu

THE MAN!

[Ndjumbah]

the gold medal belongs to Francis Obikwelo..

my neighbour...

shaun crofard...looks like a pseudo-VIP..

i wanna see his face today on 200m final... :))))

[944usainbolt]

@Ndjumbah shawn crawford is ur neighbor?!

[Ndjumbah]

@944usainbolt no,i dont know shawn..

I mean Francis...Francis is my neighbour...live at 100 meters from me..

[pandzida98765]

@Ndjumbah Gatlin should be disqualified. 0:54 runs on the track Zakari

[ZWorldTV]

@Ndjumbah He looks like Ja Rule the rapper

[Ndjumbah]

@ZWorldTV looooooooool yes u're right !"

[staponsa1]

thank god the jamaicans came and stopped the drugged up yanks from making a total mockery of the sport

[turnbacktime]

Gatlin's trying to comeback and for some reason in his deluded mind thinks he can beat bolt. Even on steroids he wasnt running faster than Gay or Asafa. Maurice Green advised him not to comeback because he'll be wasting his and our time.

[TSquared2001]

@staponsa1 that's the biggest lie ever told.

[rcaddict72]

@staponsa1 couldnt agree more...cant wait for Jeter to get caught....but then again i waited for Joyner also and it didnt happen.

[benzagel]

@staponsa1 you talk as if jamaincans might not be taking any drugs at all... this sport and all sport are full it of... its just luck of getting caught.

[eightstitches]

@benzagel suck dick! u jus fukin jealous eh! if u get tested and ain't positive then u'r clean asswhole!!!

[hulumende]

@staponsa1 weldone to the Jamaicans for real...i have to give it to MGreen for the his disciplin..he played his part well and much respect to him

[TheAngeltoDemon]

@staponsa1 you should be careful, jamaicans are definitely doped, no question about it, it will come out someday

[mobz16]

@TheAngeltoDemon start to eat dasheen and yam den come talk about jamaicans.. i ain even from jamaica but i from the west indies and you american dont realize what we eat here..

[TheAngeltoDemon]

@mobz16 With all due respect, i love jamaican quisine and culture and the foods are very healthy. Please remember, Usain bolt ate Chicken Nuggets before one of his races, might have been the WR 200, and chicken nuggets are far from the ideal foods an athlete should eat.

[Aarontlondon]

Why was Shawn Crawford acting like an ape at the start, must be all those drugs he was taking with his team mate Gatlin.... he's so luck he managed to get away with it cause Gatlin didn't!

[rc2869]

1972 - Borzov - cheat?????????

1980 - Wells 0 Clean - no question

1984 - Lewis ?? - probably clean

1988 - Lewis Cheat - maybe??????

1992 - Christie - see 1984/9

1996 - Bailey - Clean I hope

2000 - Greene -?????????????

2004 - Gatlin - Cheat

Funny how the great nation manipulates a race like Romans did are biggest cheats of all.

[Ndjumbah]

americans runners...

no drugs no medals.. :))))

[rcaddict72]

@rc2869 good post..pretty much spot on, although id stress that borzov was amongst the rest, as was bob hayes and everyone prior to the 1980s. lewis i believe was drug free...u cant complain like he did and not be. christie was probably cheating later and when he won the olympics. greene was right in the middle of balco and close enough to be involved. lets not forget the cheats that werent olympic champions also..most of whom were also USA.

[Dann0Dann]

What a close final

[Julzellis]

If an American wins gold in 100 or 200m you KNOW they are dirty.

[thatboimal]

FAZ UR A DUMB SHIT

[TubeUsername11111111]

One of the best running fields ever, take in who's in the race..

Powell, Greene, Crawford, Gatlin, Obikwelu

That's a nice final

[bigfrozy]

it would be better if they have tyson gay and usain bolt haha

[rc2869]

Yeah- only 3 confirmed cheats

[swaggsosick22]

trackprorunners he said "sweeptime!!" meanin 1.2.3 crawford,gatlin,green! but da shit didn't happen lmao!! his dumbass came in at 4th

[adryanerock]

i hate to hear 'cheat' in this arena! taking the performance enhancer drug is not cheating, it's one of the equipment to run below 10second! and equipment to break the world record! but i may say if u wanna take it make sure u run 10.2s first! so u got chance to run 10.00 or below... think about it.

[rc2869]

Fucking moron. If you're woman cheats on you is it ok because you don't know the bloke she is cheating with and sucking their cock.

Fuckng imbecile. Twat monster.

[banketshow]

yes, we all agree, ur a fucking retard lol, clearly u would cheat heaps of shit lol

[Rectiony3]

People who give up like that fucker is called a loser. even though u lose, dont give up

[eeosley]

he didnt give up he hurt his self aint nobody gon give up in the olympic final

[lorddark777]

it's called a pulled hamstring you retard

- you continue to try and push through that you don't walk right for months

how about you learn a little about the sport before you start talking shit

[Rectiony3]

if you say that one more time, im gonna knock your teeth out ok cunt

[mrcatohead]

why? you deserve it, that was just a stupid, stupid comment, you can see he pulled up, go and learn what muscles are before you decided to make retarded comments like that again

[Rectiony3]

soz bro

[fazik55]

Gatli this ordinary cheat.

Craford dumb fop.

Obikwelu great sprinter.

[trackprorunners]

What Craford said on he block ? What Shawn say on the block ?

[AntillRS]

I Love Obikwelu's running style, he looks so majestic, as if he's hardly putting any effort into it. Shame we'll never know wether Gatlin was cheating at this point in his career. Obikwelu retired at the 2008 Olympics when he failed to make the 100m final.

[PsychedelicKick]

@AntillRS Now he's back. he will be in Barcelona 2010. The European Championship.

[AntillRS]

@PsychedelicKick wicked. cant wait to see that high-stepping running style of his again :)

[Talivan93]

Francis obikwelo are a Champion

[mikejorgo]

how can he be proud of himself knowing that he cheated...id be embarrassed if i were american

[koolkurd82]

the african dude should get the gold medal ,gaitlin cheated

[jsousa69]

he's portuguese .. not african

[Nearman]

quem é que queres enganar?

[Xiquinho87]

Sorry american but the "african dude" is actually from Europe(Portugal)

[pondguard22]

Try again!

He switched allegiance from Nigeria, in Africa.

Obikwelu a Portuguese name? Nope!

[Xiquinho87]

Uhm... strange thing... I was watching the 100m final and then I thought, damn that guy who is wearing a PORTUGUESE jersey is Obikwelu.... Oh right... He is portuguese but he was born in Africa! Got it!

[pondguard22]

Almost right!

He's Nigerian, but moved to Portugal when he was 16. Been competing for them since 2001 after Nigerian Athletics Supremos neglected him when he got injured & had to fly to Canada for an operation using his own money.

(sorry if this is too far! I get carried away with Athletics facts! :S)

[Xiquinho87]

i accept your reply!

Nice comment.

[cabosnaer]

so who did win if thingmybob got banned?

[originalmiramar]

amm he did get caught for doping, yes he did google please

[JuveStriker]

maurice greene you champion

[kraxx11]

doping

[Elricc1]

dude please tell me your not from southeast USA.. all you people do is give the rest of us a bad rap for being ignorant and racist.. please keep your racist comments to yourself.

[nbarringer]

you are a moron. I am from southeast USA and I can promise you, ignorance and racism are not region specific. There are ignorant racist people all over the country and it sounds like you have the ignorance trait covered just fine.

[Elricc1]

hehe... so wait you called an Olympic runner a N***r, and by asking you to stop I'm the ignorant one.. You are the most ridiculous waste of flesh and bone i have ever come into contact with... please just shutup...

[Elricc1]

plus I am from the southeast too... and sadly were all known for being like you...

[nbarringer]

huh? I didn't call anybody that name? you have me confused with someone else.

[Elricc1]

okay... my original comment was to a guy whos entire comment was "stupid nigger".. typically the type of people who say things out of the blue like that are from the southeast (I would know i live in AL.) Its also been a while since I made that original comment and got you confused with him... my mistake.. I was simply telling him not to give the place where i live a bad name...

[nbarringer]

hmmm..no worries then. However i still think you are wrong about the southeast. have you ever been to New York? MAN...VERY racist area. I like in knoxville, Tn. not so bad here.

[Elricc1]

well I guess I've never really been to a large northern city I went to Vermont, and Ohio... it didn't seem to bad there...

[Edtheyak]

why did the dude in lane 2 stop?

[JosephBen007]

Seems like he pulled a muscle. It is very common. Michael Johnson lost a 200m duel because of that.
