Just How Much Can You Hate Me?

Seems as though people in certain countries didnt take kindly to my comments about Usain Bolt. Well let me make this clear...I dont really give a rats ass about him or anyone else in the sport and the decisions that they make. I find it hilarious though. Throughout my career, there was only one person that I gave a damn about when it came time to compete and that was me! That is the only person that I knew that I could control 100%. I can wake up and go to bed knowing that I never EVER have to worry about someone coming to me years later and saying I cheated the sport that I gave 10 years as a professional. Love me or hate me I did everything in my career the correct way with integrity and honesty. But here is a question that most people dont realize never gets an answer: Why is PED use looked at now as OK? So when I was speaking on the possibilities of what could be, I never meant to piss off anyone. I was just speaking what I felt and know to be true. The 100m is the only race on the track that everyone wants to see. So when I spoke about PED's, I spoke on the race that is most paid attention to.

However...since people seem to have got a little upset, allow me to give you a reason to really get pissed, OK?

There are plenty of sprinters in my country (USA) that have been dirty or I am sure they were at some point in their career. Two out of the last four people from the USA that have run 9.7 something have been found to be using PED's. Not to mention they were both with the same coach. So it seemed at that point 9.7 was a goal of many people. Breaking the WR was what most people aimed for but seemed to fall short of because of not having the talent to get there or using and hiding PED's to help get you there. Now all of a sudden in less then 5 years since the last person tried and got caught there have been 4 people to run faster then the WR at that time and I am suppose to believe that all of them are legit? (1 person from the USA & 3 people from JAM)

Get the hell out of here!

Is my homework correct so far?

I want people to forget who I am for a second...Act like you dont know anything about me and that I just posted this and you read it with an open mind. There is no way in hell you can read this and go "He is not making any sense at all."

Go ahead and tell me I am just saying all this because I didnt do better with my career. Is that the best you can do? I havent even talked about my event yet. Oh I am just getting started. To be honest, I know for a "FACT" that every time someone beat me at a major championship and I placed 4th, that there was someone in front of me that was using PED's. Yes thats right, I said it. If the shoe fits, wear it! If anyone doesnt like what I say about PED use in T&F, slap me in my mouth when you see me. Stop hiding behind message board with no real proof as to who you are. You are about as tough as the white people that call me a nigger when I play xbox online. My frustration comes from the hate I have from these punk ass athletes and coaches who cheat the talented hard working people out of what they could have had in this sport.

And here is a special shot out to all the people that I have sat and talked with about PED, who is doing what, how much you dont like them and who they suspect but yet they go back shaking hands, taking pictues and kissing ass. Yall just as bad as they are for being fake as hell. The crazy thing is, the sport needs PED's for it to stay alive and keep making money. And the reason is because at some point someone said it was OK to let one person have what is called a "green light" to do what they wanted. After that and seeing the results, now a bunch of people have that light to go ahead and just excite the T&F world. However you better not over do it.

Ever wonder why more and more athletes are starting to look at the clock when they running a race now? Are they just that excited about what they running to look at the clock 20m out from the finish line? Dont know about anyone else but I have seen plenty of people slow down a bit before they get to that line. ASAFA vs. GATLIN @ Prefontaine (anyone remember that) Hmmm what was that about? I actually told a friend of mine to stop doing that because of how it looked. Not that I think that of this person but just saying...

Let me get to my point...

T&F is no longer a sport. It is an entertainment business just like the WWE. Some people are hand picked to be stars. Some coaches are in good with people high up and can do what they want and know what not to do. Some managers/agents know exactly whats going on but all they want is their 15-20% of the earnings. Last but not least...These shoe companies know whats going on too and it is for that reason why someone that is ranked #1 can get $500,000 a year and #2 in the world will get $50,000 a year. Big difference huh?

Think about this too...Michael Jordan said it wasnt the shoes, it was his hard work. Well if that is true, why have most athletes that have been caught on drugs wearing Nike spikes? Why are most coaches that are coaching these dirty athletes getting a Nike pay check as well? I cant really speak on any other company but I am sure its not too much different. Why is there a new doctor coming out that has some type of suspicious acts going on with athletes? I heard about Dr. Galea and what he was doing a month before worlds in 2009. Knew his entire operation and everything.

Also found out who Conte was back in 2003 when Remi ha da talk with my coach at the time and asked me if I wanted to use him as a vitamin source. Claiming that Conte had "more potent" vitamins. I replied with a no thank you I will stick with GNC and Vitamin shop. When I joked about running the 100m a while back I had a coach tell me he was good at turning 400m runners into 100m runners. I turned my head to all these things and found a new coach at a point in my career when I needed a fresh start. So yes Antonio Pettigrew was my coach and if anyone ever says I said anything negative about him you's a damn lie! I have much respect for what he helped me do in reaching an awards stand at a major championship in 2005. He never ever EVER spoke to me about PED use. He knew how I felt from day one about it. To find out later on that he went that route hurt me because I never thought he would have but at the end of the day what did that have to do with me? What he did with his career was just that, his career. I controlled me from the first time you saw me shock the world at the Olympic trials in 2000 until I said "I am tired of racing drugs."

Instead of hating me and claiming I dont know what I am talking about you would be better off paying attention to what I'm saying. I keep saying I need a reality show but my show might be too much of what it should be and that is REAL. Seems as though fake is the new real these days...

"I'm lazy... but I will run 100m in 9.4seconds"

Now if there had ever been a more RIDICULOUS quote for someone to allow to come out of their mouth...this was it!

Come on Usain Bolt. No one on Earth believes that you would ever be lazy. I mean yeah maybe off the track during vacation time but while you are working on being the fastest to ever do it, not possible!

OK let me take that back it is possible with performance enhancing drugs but Bolt is a clean athlete right? I mean its not like he has run fast and been caught doping. He hasnt failed a drug test that I have heard of. Yet then again...most of the people in the Balco scandal never failed a test. Matter fact I know personally that some of the people involved got off and names never came up.

Everyone thats a fan of track and field that I meet loves him. First track and field athlete that I have seen that needs security. I mean I have been around some of the best to ever do it and they never needed body guards yet this guy has that and more. This guy walking around looking like the president damn near. Women are throwing they panties all on the track when he trying to run causing all kinds of false starts.......OK I am joking about that one :) LMAO!

Let me just say that 9.4 seconds in the 100m is just damn crazy. When I saw 9.78 by Tim Montgomery I thought that time was legit because of everything that happen. The weather was great, he had a .10 and some change start and the wind was exactly +2.0 on the wind gauge. I thought it was legit. Found out it was not and what was going on, damn. So now when I watch T&F I watch with a different perspective. I remember history and what I have seen. Then I look at whats going on currently. I have always said that history will tell on you. The track game will never change just the players in it. (Doesnt Carmelita Jeter almost look like Chryste Gaines)

So right now we have Usain Bolt as the worlds fastest man. I just dont see how he can run so fast. I am not accusing him of anything...I just dont see it or believe it. I mean I believe in evolution and that people grow, get faster and all that but when I break it down into a different perspective it just doesnt make sense. Here is why...

He says that he is lazy...

Anyone a comic book fan???

Lets take Batman and Robin???

For years Usain seemed to be in the role of Robin. He was always in the mix but never the stand out super star. Had potential of course but never had what it took to step up in that role of Batman. Every time he tried to challenge the best in the world he more times then none came up short.

In the comics Robin would always try to go out on his own and save the day. What happen? He ended up getting his ass kicked and Batman would have to come and save him and the damn day. Batman would always tell Robin its a team I am me you are you. Robin never wanted to just play his role. He wanted to be the best and every time he tried he ended up being reminded of who and what he was...A sidekick

Now back to Usain...

After the 2007 season and playing this role of sidekick (meaning that he was taking 2nd & 3rd more often) he all of a sudden becomes Superman one year later. How in the hell can you go from being a mere mortal with a utility belt, to surpassing being the skilled and genius super hero Batman which was a goal, to being the freaking man of steel?!

Strange anyone???

In 2008 season he was unbeatable, the new world record holder and a house hold name all over the world. His dad said its the yams and Usain says now that he is lazy. Where is Ed Lover with a "C'Mon Son" when you need him! Not to mention he "allegedly" hurt his back doing some type of freak ass position with a chick that ended his season this year.

I have to shake my head on this one. Truth of the matter is...He could probably do what he wants to do right now. If he goes down the sport dies point blank. If he continues to run well and amaze people the sport excels. You do the math...

ETIQUETTE

(pronounced [,eti'ket]) is a code of behavior that delineates expectations for social behavior according to contemporary conventional norms within a society, social class, or group.

I have been seeing many different people talking about proper "etiquette" when it comes to certain things like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and many other social sites and businesses. Now I have never been one to tell anyone how to live they life. I will most likely always comment on something that may seem strange and might go, "what in the hell..." or I may even laugh at something but never one to just be like, "ok everyone you need to start living your life like this..."

I neven have a problem with people that try to tell you what to believe in as far as religious beliefs, how to pray, who to pray to and all that. I am the first to tell you I am not the most holy person on Earth & I know some people are going to have a problem with what I am about to type but bare with me...I think some religious people need to take a step back on how they praise their beliefs towards other people. Who are you to tell me how I should praise? I honestly think that someones beliefs should not be any of my business unless they share it with me. Now after they share that is something different but I am still not one to judge.

Example:
Person 1 - Hey miss how are you doing?
Person 2 - Oh I am just so blessed this morning. Jesus woke me up and he is just so wonderful...(and then follows a 10 minute conversation)
Sometimes people just seem to take it too far to me...I dont know maybe its just me

Now I am straight forward when it comes to most things that go down in life with religious beliefs, how you carry yourself, what you do for a living, sexual preference and things like that. This is what I always say..."Respect me & I will respect you." Its just that simple to me. I have always believed that if you want something you first have to give something. So if I give respect then I expect it back and if you show it to me then you will sure enough get it back.

Back to my original point...Etiquette. If you have a business and you running it the way you want and you are being successful, then that is just great! If you have a business and its going well and you see someone else with a similar business that isnt going as well as yours is...Mind your damn business! (pun is intended) The last thing someone wants to hear is how someone else doing what they doing is doing so much better. However...if they come to you and ask you a question or two about how they could improve then thats different. That is someone in search of improvement. By all means lend a hand. Now that doesnt mean if you see someone doing something that might be harmful to themselves that you shouldnt go to them. All my true friends know and I tell them...If you see me messing up or doing something that might seem a bit off or harmful to me (cause sometimes I do go a little to far) pull me to the side and say something. If we on that level then by all means you have the right to slap me upside the head and say get it together fool!

I just have an issue with people that just voluntarily try to tell random people how they should be doing something. I have had it happen to me on numerous times and I look at people with that "Who in the f--- are you?!" Not to say people arent trying to help because I know sometimes thats most of the time all it is. Some people just have a way of coming off like they so much better then you when they explaining something. If I was approached by Bill Gates & a regular person off the streets who you think I am listening to first?

Quite simple people...have your stuff in order for you first and foremost. Sometimes its not quite proper "etiquette" its just someone trying to act like they no every damn thing.

C'MON SON 17

Ed Lover once again doing his thing...Hilarious!
