The Great Kevin Young...

No mixup.

Kevin Young used to get beat up by Danny Harris, Winthrop and Matete and then BOOM him drop that 46point run to win Gold in Barcelona.

Nuff man went off wondering, but there was never any positive tests.
He disappeared soon after, but that was due to injury.

When yuh consider that our Qtr milers struggling to run 46point on the flat now, you understand what KY did.

Thanks For This Post

...good yute dat.

Met Kevin Young last nite at a social in Manhattan.

Loves Jamaica, respects & understands our program and what its success is based on.
Has visted Jamaica and seen the intensity and desire of the kids...has checked out Waterhouse and other inner city communities..knows the struggles and marvels at the success and also interest the athletes have in education.

Loves Bolt and what he's doing to uplift track...in short he's 100% on the money & with a great personality. Is starting his own foundation to help at risk kids.

A girlfriend of mine with a video camera even shot an off the cuff interview I did with him...good yute!

Thank you for posting this bit of info, Don1.

Of course, you didn’t merely post the information from an online newspaper, but rather, from an experience in which you were involved. There is, therefore, obviously a big difference, which is why I say much respect for this really relevant post (regardless of how some others might take it)!

After reading online today the positive comments from three stalwarts (Maurice Greene, Donovan Bailey and Frankie Fredericks), this additional input adds to the plus factors.

Do you have some info or insight into Kevin Young which leads you to cast these aspersions? Or is it jus ah easy run mout ting?

Was Bob Beamon taking PEDs in 1968 when he went from 27+ feet to 29ft? Was Mike Powell on PEDs when he broke Beamon's record..standing now for almost 20 years?

Some people we need to give the benefit of any doubt...just as we would wish others would do for our champions.

No!
Quincy had a record before he won at the Olympics and he ran for years after. I think he was never the top man after the Olympics.

In 1991 World's for example, he ran on a very good US 4 x 400M team that got 'whapped' by great Britain in a hell of a race...and Quincy dropped what I think was a 43.00 change leg.

Why MJ was not on that team I cannot remember?
