    Anyone but Gatlin?

    Bolt has looked ropey from the blocks and I don't expect him to win as I usually would, although I think everyone wants it to happen.

    Coleman looks favourite, but I think Prescod breaking 10 seconds and Bolt competing well (even if he can't win) would be good

    Gatlin

    Everyone deserves a second chance

    I know what it's like to be hated

    Sadly in spurs you on but it's not nice

    It's not about second chances with Gatlin. He's on his 3rd or 4th chance by now, but more than that he has never apologised for what he did.

    Still, it obviously did spur him on. I don't agree with the booing. Just don't applaud if you don't approve, but no need for booing.

    I also hate booing, as you cannot boo and spit at the same time <laugh>

    In his defence I think one of the mistakes (the first one) was a genuine one where it was poor judgement rather than cheating. But you'd think that having done that that you would be far more careful in future and at least apologise for the mistakes you made. I think anyone in life is allowed to make mistakes, pay the penalty and move on. But that doesn't mean that they shouldn't face up to the consequences of their actions.

    Can't believe Chris Coleman ran in 2nd at the age of 47. Great for Wales. I suspect he's had what Gatlin has though.

    He's probably just as Welsh as half of the Wales team!

    Running's for tw@ts.
    Why not just walk quickly, far less likely to spill your ale.

    He's won fair and square and done it with the world hating on him

    All those people booing I guarantee have cheated at monopoly or done something wrong that only they and another person know about
