A few hurdles still to take

Julian Draxler (born 1993),
hurdles ahead week 27
(UEFA Euro 2016)
Oskari Mörö (born 1993),
hurdles ahead week 27
(European Athletics Championships 2016)

Post Scriptum 8.7:
Draxler's team, Germany, was finally 3-4 together with Wales
(as there was no third-place match),
and Mörö finished as number 4
in the final (400 meter hurdles).

Rely on the athletic relay

Justin sez "Just do in Gatlin!"

I just do like fair sports, clean and without cheating. Of course - as no man is an island - no man starts from the same point. We all have different backgrounds, upbringings, genes, routines et cetera. We are no robots, no clones.

And in arts and in other tracks & fields of life doping is alloud. I mean, people do alcohol, tobacco, drugs, pills, what ever gives a kick start, good vibrations and brilliant ideas. So why not a pint of epo for the running man, as there's no use of booze?

Well, you tell me! But I still prefer athletes on no dope - and once caught the sentence should be for a lifetime. As I prefer a novel written by the person on the cover and not by ghost writers, if you see what I mean.

But the rules are like they are and the rulers have their own tracks. So I just hope that when Justin Gatlin goes out cruising in Beijing for nine seconds and a half, he has not being cruising on or doing in some forbidden power pills.
