    Gatlin the cheat winning a medal put a negative slant on it for me. Wanted that **** to go away with nothing.

    i don't get Gatlin at all. Plainly he's quick, he proved that today, why did he cheat before, especially back in 2004 when Usain Bolt didn't figure. .

    Don't forget we're celebrating a drug cheat getting a silver in the women's 400m

    Still makes her a cheat. Why miss the tests if you're innocent? Typical english, you can't have it both ways.

    Why did she purposely miss a drugs test unless she had something to hide

    Hhmm, maybe she was just epically stupid and forgot about it, but Kyle is right even if she was not on drugs missing it does make her a cheat and I have never cheered for her anyway but she is not on the same level as Gatlin who got found out and banned twice.

    The Yanks forget about the likes of Gatlin etc when they accuse the Chinese of being drug cheats

    The devil is in the detail though. There is a reason they were thinking of a life ban for gatlin

    I wouldn't argue about Gatlin but i'm just asking the question about why did Christine Ohuruogu miss a drugs test

    He has no chance in that. Bolt's is not the best from the start but when he gets going he is unstoppable. Think he can break the WR again in the 200m.

    Well yeh. There is obviously no real excuse. But they conducted a "trial" on her and must of decided she probably wasnt cheating. Sure she might of been but we dont know the evidence and people who do know the evidence only dished out a small sentence. Gatlin was different because the people who knew the facts chucked the book at him.
