Very interesting stuff on volunteerism and Jamaican track and field.

Isn't interesting that some claim the stimulants - Hey!...they are called stimulants for a reason. - do not assist performance yet Lee Evans thinks it give an "extra zip". ...mmmm????

[Stonigut]

Yep saw that, but it is funny how each of person catches something different. Just something as simple as officials for a track meet and the issue of compensation versus pure love for the sport could be another significant reason that lies hidden why Jamaican track and field thrives while others struggle to survive. Without committed volunteers the bedrock of the program dies, all the local and regional meets. Some say we gravalicious and greedy but here is another instant which clearly demonstrates something quite to the contrary.

The low level people are like that, but the top is fighting for the spoils. Everybody knows that. Why U think the war over Puma vs 361 sponsorship?

Yep, you aggo win 100m with 2 Red bulls.

Orange is stimulant too,

In any case, many supplements have all kinds of things in them. Its a jungle out there.

Food is no longer food. Go check out what in Monsanto GMO grain.

he article is also disingenuous. All now dem cyaan name the Tyson Gay drug and it CANNOT be a stimulant. Stimulants are NOT tested for OOC as they are legal OOC!!!!!!!!!

Another American whitewash. Bout stimulant give extra pep before race! Dyam foolishness. Not a once of science behind that. In any case, why would bullet starter Asafa need that? If anything, he would need an endurance drug.

Is like people shut off dem brain and make others tell dem all kind of bull crap.

I remember growing up and participating at Primary school sports day being given oranges before, during and after every races. You are telling me that orange is a stimulant? When Portia and her big friend Dr. Paul Wright come test we pickney a dem sports day they will be banned for life.

Try eat couple orange late at night before bed and see how hard it is to fall asleep. Is like drinking coffee.
