So the 100m....
I was going to say after the first heat that Gay looked unimpressive. And he's just been well beaten in the second heat. Pretty sure he's in no shape to win.
Steam into the Bolt at 5/6 IMO

That was unreal!!! Clearly easing down the last 40m and runs 9.92. He looks like he could run 9.5  |

I don't wish to put a dampener on your obvious enthusiasm but I'm very sceptical when it comes to track and field (as I'm sure are most people).
In the back of everyone's mind when anyone wins is going to be the thought 'I wonder what their on'. |

Well he's either an absolute freak or he's drugged up to his eyeballs - they're the only 2 explanations for that kind of performance. Let's hope it's the former - I'm going to presume this is the case until proven otherwise. He really looks like he could do 9.5! |

| I agree, Owl. It's either one or the other. |

Thankfully I'm confident it's the former:

Anyone who thinks they can win by taking any bannned substance is nuts with the amount of testing that goes no nowdays. Unless they have developed away to mask the substance they will get found out for sure!
Anyway why chance winning a Gold then being shown to have cheated!
