The 35-year old dude who won gold in Mens 400m hurdles
No way!
That dude from Puerto Rico needs to be investigated... It's like Linford Christie or Ben Johnson winning the 100m race.

My brother, have you heard of Edwin Moses?
He was a legend in the 400m hurdles .... and won medals in the 76 olympics as
well as the 88 seoul olympics....the latter when he was 34 yrs old or so.
Because hurdles (100m and 400m) requires skill as well as endurance, older
folks in their 30s can do well if they have good technique.
So in other words, don't be so suspicious of the 35 yr old medalist.

My boo Lolo will do it too in Rio.

It’s not easy for a player to see how he’s outperformed by a 19 year-old kid, but the kid is fantastic. I had the courage to play him and the problem is very simple.

I knew Ed Moses and his exploits in 400 meters hurdles.
Even the legendary Ed Moses could not win an Olympic gold medal at 33 in Seoul 1988.
But this dude from the Dominican Republic pulls it off at age 34?
Yet he was more washed last year than any athlete in Olympic history!

He won gold in 2004. From 2008 to 2012 he won nothing...nothing, then he turn up in 2012 and wins gold in 2012. I will not be surprise if he in the future he is strip of his medal.olu wrote:Felix sanchez also won the gold in 2004 or 2008. He's an established hurdler, so its not too uprising.
