ANOTHER TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETE BITES THE DUST


Ok. I love my sport I really do but these athletes that are failing drug test are making it hard for alot of future and current track and field competitors. US 400m Olympic champion, LaShawn Merritt has been suspended for 2 years on the grounds of failing 3 consecutive drug test. He claims that he had no idea of the over-the-counter male enhancing supplement was the cause.


Now, many say that LaShawn is an honest man and I believe that. He did admit to taking the drug, but at what point do not read the labels. USA track and field administration gives you a ban list of all the drugs, supplments, etc that you can not have in your system. Why was he not clear with this regulation? He knows that they are going to enforce these regulations on the athletes due to the drug use history in the sport. Come on guys!! Run clean and fair!!
I wonder if Jeremy Wariner is smiling?
