 Prince

Pop legend Prince died from an overdose of painkillers, some of these drugs are available over the counter and turn out to kill more people worldwide than what is classified as "hard Drugs" so should these legal drugs be illegal? Legal drugs have killed Whitney, Michael Jackson now Prince and many sports men - small people and top people globally.02/06/16

 Gatlin

The media globally continues to vilify Gatlin as though he has just been found guilty of doping while some is calling for further banning him and I think at least one country rescinded his invitation to run at a met in that country. For Gatlin the principles of doing the crime, punished for the crime what else do people expect. The guy should be left alone and allowed to do his job to the best of his ability and if he is caught again he is out for good.

It is my opinion that many or most athletes take some kind of booster/drugs but if you have a master scientist to work with, you won’t get caught especially as long as you do not take it during the running season which only desperate junkie type athletes do. There are also “designer drugs” so called because no test has been found for it because it is unknown to the doping agency that is why they have now decided to keep samples for 10 years so we must assume that after that there is a World Anti Doping Agency (WADA)/International Olympic Committee (IOC) statute bar.

The question I have, is this justice or cruel and inhumane treatment and which court should rule on this is it the International court of justice because in Jamaica statute bar is 6 years. The IOC could decide to keep samples for 20, 30 or 50 years a superior body should rule on this even in the midst of people willing to dope for the gold and the glory. It should be challenged by the Jamaican Olympic Association and the other associations concerned. That is why if WADA cannot find you in the off season they charge you because it is during the off season training period that the banned drugs help the athlete to train harder and develop faster then they take masking agents "washout" like drugs that people who have high blood pressure take that allows one to urinate a lot. There are so many methods of doping that are banned that if someone asked me what are the banned drugs one would be tempted to say everything. One has to be so careful someone can touch you and transfer drugs through a hand shake, go to a club or dance and you inhale ganja tainted air and you can test positive. The life of a world class athletes like Bolt is like living in a cage and the admiration and mystique of Bolt is that he makes living in a top athlete’s caged cave publicly look dangerously easy but he must be careful as I guarantee you he is being targeted while being protected by Jamaicans at home and abroad, his security a slip or loose move for a second and there goes a career. 02/06/16

I hope it’s not true that a Jamaican has been among athletes whose samples taken from 2008 Olympics and a mistake is made but if it’s for real why are they keeping us in suspense because of a B sample which is just a smaller quantity of the same A sample taken at the same time. The IOC should be forced to keep to the international standards of a "statute bar" in Jamaica that is 6 years. To whom could one appeal this decision to be pulling samples after 8 or 10 years and have retroactive punishment Is it the United Nations International Court of Justice? Whatever it is the Jamaican and all the other athletes must be prepared to fight it till thy kingdom come as this I consider, inhumane, cruel and an injustice.02/06/16
