As the summer olympics are closer and closer, it's time to begin the predictions olympics. So who will win the men 100 meters ?

Not too original, I think Greene will win it, he was impressive enough during the selection to make me think he'll repeat.

What I can tell is that it won't be Montgomery...
I agree on Greene

I think Ian Crocker will win the Men's 100 and Natalie Coughlin will win the Women's. Both of them finished 2nd at the US Trials, but I think they will both come out on top at The Games.

I think this is Greene's last shot.

But somehow I'm sure the International press will start some sort of false rumor that he too has been "doping", to get him all mentally screwed up like they've done to so many of our athletes this year...

Sorry Lorri, but a lot of those athletes were actually doped, and it is the US assoication that are after them...

OK, so you’re right. It is mostly the US Anti-doping agency that is responsible for the leaks about the US athletes. But I don’t think you are correct in saying that they were doped.

Nothing has been proven yet. In some cases the testing isn’t even completed, and in one case, Tim Montgomery, he has never actually tested positive at all.
Torri Edwards took some glucose pills bought at a gift shop for low blood sugar.
Marion Jones thought she was taking vitamins from a reputable company.
All the cases are pending and all athletes vehemently deny they used drugs.

Also, what with that French book about Lance Armstrong using performance enhancing drugs? Armstrong was livid over that…

I don't believe him
Me either.He's trying to kick her when she's down.He was the one who got caught using steroids and banned for life.He's got sour grapes,but she did leave him for another ex-Olympian who is in the same boat as Hunter.I can see where it could make you wonder.
