Dragon 1,676 Posted January 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2018 After Coleman set the record he had to drive 230 km from Clemson to Atlanta which was the nearest city where he could take a USADA drug test. If he hadn't done this the record would not have counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalamAkhi 277 Posted January 20, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 20, 2018 He set the record at 6.45 PM, so he had 5h15 to rejoin Atlanta Given his speed I think that's not a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not, it would be a joke, but considering that this is an american athlete and its only some non-olympic indoor event, i wouldnt be too surprised honestly ... 1) If it takes hours after the competition for him to take the test, the result is already pretty meaningless. 2) Was a NADA/WADA official with him all the time, otherwise there is no way that this can be ratified.

SalamAkhi 277 Posted January 20, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 20, 2018 https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&q=coleman atlanta&src=typd I'm not an expert on speed limits in the USA but 93mph seems to be a bit over the rules As fast on the tracks as on the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes months for the IAAF to ratify any world record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jur 486 Posted January 20, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 20, 2018 So, aparently, this BIG MESS is a new athletics event. This is footage from a European Games Test held in Portugal last week, where some spanish teams were invited to take part and test the new event. Apparently its called "Athlon", and it's so stupid I can't really believe this is going to happend. It's a relay-style race where each runner does some weitght-draggin while runing, then some throwing, then obtacules and finally they carry a big ball (?) I am sorry but I can't understand a thing. European Athletics is going to make official this discipline next year. Quasit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

European Athletics is going to make official this discipline next year. It seems in English it's called the trackathlon and it consists of running (with weight, by the looks of the video), shot put, hurdles and standing long jump. http://www.european-athletics.org/news/article=innovative-athletics-format-tested-portugal-ahead-2019-european-games/index.html I'm just gonna go ahead and say 'No' on this.
