They did it again!

And despite the sudden necessity of having them tested for illegal doping -- after all, how could four black boys from a tiny little Third World country REALLY achieve such brilliance without cheating? -- they've done themselves, their country, and their countrymen proud!  Go deh, boyz!

awesome win..Bolt is phenomenal...btw..they test all medal winners :)

Kae B said...

Why now, though? Why not after every win?

Kae B said...

And if they do, why does the article seem to suggest that it's been difficult to test them because they are hard to find? What does that mean -- that the Jamaicans are avoiding testing?

i dont know..maybe they did test them after every win...did you hear what they did to poor Caster Semenya of South Africa..traumatized the kid for months!!

Kae B said...

Yes, I did! And I was VERY, V-E-R-Y upset! :(

Kae B said...

God help any woman who happens not to fit into the "norm" for females in these male-dominated organizations!

Indeed - they did! Theyre fabulous - and the King himself is outstanding.

Here is a sweet and happy girl who I fell totally in love with - Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Me and mum, called here "The Little Happy One" - sheer delight seeing her.

Kae B said...

What a great picture of her! She is a happy one, isn't she? :)

Please Kit.......Dont talk like that.....Its routine with all the other Olympians........
It sounds like tones of Discrimination.....I hate that word. .....
We are equal......The color of ones skin does not mater, Its the person inside.....

If they're tested immediately after each event, what was the reason for the comment, then, Frank? Just to stir people up?

Franki . said...

Quote "The first five finishers in every event are tested, plus two at random. They are tested immediately afterwards, in the venue.
In addition, there is random, unannounced testing, in the Olympic Village or wherever athletes are based during Games period.
Outside of accredited venues it is UK Anti-Doping which conducts those tests on behalf of Locog.""

They are tested after each event Kit....I dont know what you mean by Ccomment....KIt..

Can I give an example of what I meant By Discrimination....?

I went to college in Brixton, London...That was the main area that The first Jamaicans settled in....When going to College I had to run the Gauntlet to get to the College....The College had to lay on Security so we students didn't get assaulted. I and others asked the question ..Why?

I am not color prejudice.....and we did not start Discrimination.....The Jamaicans did Why Kit....
I have always been honest with you. You have been a dear friend...But why do the majority of Jamaicans want to be segregated from the white population in the Uk,??
Hope you can see my point Kit.....

Ever read The Lonely Londoners by Samuel Selvon? That ought to answer your question. Everyone's prejudiced, Frank, and we learn to do what we must to protect ourselves.

With respect to the testing, my question still stands...if they test the first five finishers after every event, why was the comment made? It was a comment made after Usain won his third gold, by a high up in the organization that oversees the Games. I t was reported in the news, which is where I read it.
