I hope that USADA is doing their job.

I am not implying anything but improving Barnes' WR who was using PS throughout most part of his career should be carefully checked.

Did they give him the junior ball by mistake.

US Olympic Trials are on this YouTube channel.  My advice is to watch them quickly, because when NBC’s Californian Lawyers get out of bed this morning, it’s going to be nuked.

Why don't we get double separator units?  

 

 

I think he threw 23,37.98 meters and at least 1/3rd of a quarter yard.

I know what you mean.

I could be wrong but every WR must be carefully evaluated. When someone improves his PB almost 50cm, its really shocking. And its not like 20.50 improves to 21.00 m but 22.90 improves to 23.37. 

All i want is clear sports. 

Plus, USA had long history of using PS in shot put. 

Barnes himself, Kevin Toth, C.J...
