2009-03-20T01:04:05-04:00 Jamaican Track &amp; Field Olympic controversy 2008-09-02T17:15:34-04:00 155 2008-09-10T06:39:48-04:00 1 16 10 2008-09-05T15:59:10-04:00 9 XX kdv32001 No City 500117 This article just proves why Americans, as a whole, are perceived by the rest of the world of as the most stupid and dumbest group of people on this planet. How does a drug related allegation, in connection to an athlete, tarnish the achievements of other athletes of whom are of the same nationality of the athlete who is at the centre of the allegation. It???s like saying that Yelena Isinbayeva's achievements should be tarnished after the positive drug tests of those 7 Russian athletes prior to the Beijing games. Or when Jessica Hardy failed a drug test prior to the Olympic does that tarnish the achievements of Michael Phelps? American journalists and Americans as a whole have just shown themselves to be the most stupid group of people living on this planet. 2674358 2008-09-05T15:58:46-04:00 9 XX kdv32001 No City 500117 This article just proves why Americans, as a whole, are perceived by the rest of the world of as the most stupid and dumbest group of people on this planet.

Anyhow, I think that it is irresponsible journalism to insinuate that these athlete took drugs without further investigation. Is it not possible that someone else ordered the drugs in their names? The alternative is that Deloreen forgot her gender. Why not investigate if this is a set up? Give us overwhelming evidence please. That is what we are used to from credible journalists. Since you have attained documentation of this nature, surely you can find out who ordered the drugs. I dare you to publish that. 2666825 2008-09-04T10:42:40-04:00 6 XX Itel Metel No City 497099 one more thing..read this article from msnbc.....even the lizards in Jamaica work out &quot;Jamaican lizards work out at dusk and dawn Both females and males were observed performing calisthenic-like displays&quot; http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26528399/ 2659833 2008-09-04T10:10:52-04:00 6 XX Itel Metel No City 497099 One thing that struck me just now....the americans have not prevailed since the Chinese have stepped up the testing...uummmmm....How Come?
