The meet money is great and all but I really have a hard time understanding some of this. Surely Asafa has been pissing in the well with meet promoters, not only by running slow but compounding the offense by claiming he never intended to do well cause he’s training through the meets! (Hell, even if that’s true, you could at least attempt to come up with an acceptable excuse like: “I thought I’d be ok but my ankle flared up on me.”
As for Gay, why run the 200m anywhere before Berlin if your groin is aggrivated by turns???!!!
Now, after aggrivating the groin, you come back a few days later to run the 100 under pressure, after announcing to everyone that the groin was an issue in London!!
You can refer back to the comments I made on the situation before London came up.
