    That set was amazing, especially the Tokyo skyline behind it
    I think it was a bit too ambitious and looked fake as a consequence.

    A little bit more juice and we could have been stripped of a gold.

    Bit suspicious that. Turning down a number of lucrative pay days that he'd get as Olympic champion to 'rest' when i don't think he's raced that much at all this year.

    And also just a few days after his nutritionist got questioned for his involvement in doping.

    As he's British it must surely be a mistake in testing.

    If he's a foreigner then drugged up to the eyeballs.

    If that gets confirmed things could get ugly.
    British athletics fans are noisily unsympathetic where drug cheats are concerned and they have long, long memories as Justin Gatlin found out in 2017.

    When it's a person from a different country yes. 

    When it's Linford Christie people are a lot more forgiving.

    Christie's positive test in 1999 was fully 8 years after he'd competed at the highest level and certainly not at a time his conduct could impact relay teammates.  The substance for which he tested positive had been banned for years, so its appearance in a urine test, so late on in the twilight of his career doesn't fit with the conduct of a committed substance misuser.
    Dwain Chambers certainly wasn't warmly accepted back into the fold after serving his ban for cheating.  BOC and British Athletics only readmitted him years after his IAAF ban had expired and he'd had years of 'clean' test results.

    He's tested positive more than once. 1988 for one, 'herbal tea' I believe it was.

    I can't believe Linford was taking drugs, everyone know it makes your nob small and that clearly wasn't the case.

    I don't claim to be an expert but doesn't that depend on the drugs? :)

    Numerous sprinters have taken drugs and tbh it's never a surprise when this happens.  Missed drugs tests and improved performance late in the career are always a red flag. 

    There are a number of runners, including Brits, I've got suspicions about.

    In this case I imagine the British public won't be forgiving at all, as he's cost the rest of the team an Olympic medal
