@pbjgrace@RaesTake Swimming isn’t as popular or competitive of a sport unfortunately, there was around 250,000 high school swimmers in the US vs over 1.1 million high school track and field athletes. So naturally the majority of the time the more popular sports get the “better” athletes
@trackagencytv@TheErinBrown@BouleyDutoy In 2020 a lot of athletes half assed random races to fill contract obligations because of the pandemic. You know good and well that 11.04 wasn’t all out lol. Dude ran a 43 the year before, he’s averaging a 10.9 for 400m that’s a terrible example
@RaesTake I’m a huge fan of innocent until proven guilty, and besides “suspicion” which it’s easy to assume what he did that can’t hold in court, the only reason he could’ve been suspended for was failure to comply so there’s some information that he has not given to help prove innocence
@ZeroDayPwn @TheErinBrown It’s not about their success but how many eyes are watching and following her, social media, commercials etc. for instance shacarri has 3M followers more than Syd, even though Syd is more successful
@TexasTrackDad I guess they only want sprinters and jumpers that they don’t even have to coach 😂 how can you build up athletes with standards like that
@bertodon@trackspice Just do your own research and look at the facts given then, I’m even in the USADA system I know how it works. Truly though do your own research and read the full reports instead of believing social media, we get tested by 3 different companies yearly
@bertodon@trackspice We get tested far more than any other country, the difference is it was a metabolite that derives from a drug used to grow animals for food and it was proved. Also if you know about steroids then you’d know Tren is probably the worst drug to take to get faster, stays too long
@nitebot@TheCraigSutton@trackspice I absolutely agree and it definitely doesn’t look good considering what happened to Isaam, kinda plays into the whole “USA gets by with what they want” perspective. But most of us get tested a TON compared to other countries
@TheCraigSutton@nitebot@trackspice Also let’s be real tren is a HEAVY drug and not a good choice to use to run fast, and Knightons body still looks like a kid and not someone taking tren of all drugs
@TheCraigSutton@nitebot@trackspice Trenbolone is a compound some use to make muscles on farm animals grow faster you can google that, but I believe it wasn’t actually tren but a compound that derives of it after being broken down which is the difference. USADA did their own investigation and found it in the meat
Super excited to share some of the knowledge I’ve picked up over the years at next weeks @TTFCA clinic. If you are a track and field coach in Texas, you don’t want to miss next weekend!
