Marcell Jacobs runs twice under 10 in Turku

Doing his best Elaine Thompson-Herah impersonation. I won't lie, If he runs 9.75 to win again that would be hilarious.

I'm not sure if I've ever thrown out a doping accusation before, but with the rise of Italy's track athletes this year, and with Jacobs not having done anything impressive since the last Olympics (don't think he was any good before that year either), I've got a strong suspicion that he's doping.

Would be great if I were wrong but too many things are suspicious for me in this situation.

Jacobs is a regular 10"10 guy.

Then he knows a hidden shortcut to a nice elevator which hands him anywhere from 15 to 30 cents for free.

Make no mistake, 10"10 is almost God like for a clean guy. It s only a couple of steps away from gold.

Except he trains in the usa with Rana Rider. Again the progression in the Olympic year is as strange as in 2021

Maybe, just maybe, he is just trying to peak for the Olympics, rather than burn out in irrelevant races?

It's only a matter of time Mr. Rider

It was only a matter of time before he found a "nutritionist"

Relax dudes, it was inevitable.

He won world indoors over Coleman in 2022. He isn't a one hit wonder. Lyles has his work cut out for him.

His sciatic nerve problems come from massively overstriding in the front part of his stride and not allowing anything natural to develope in the back of the stride. Instead of natural push off, he just rips out his leg to the front to overstride again. It kinda works, but he will always be plagued by injuries because of this.

While he is indeed sus af I would still love to see him block that clown Lyles in the 100.

He’s the only in the world to know this elevetor?

Blessing Okagbare also trained with Rana Reider until she was busted.

Jacobs has run OK but has looked shaky. I would go with Seville rather than Jacobs. Omanyala just ran 9.79 but his (brief) history is to run fast early and fizzle in the championships, maybe he will do better this year.

This performance is not suspicous. He has looked injured in his previous races. It's still .12 off his PR.

He may or may not be doping but this performance definitely does not indicate that he is.

What relevance does Italy’s rise here when he lives and trains in Florida now? Are you suggesting Italy is shipping drugs to their athletes training outside Italy but not to their training partners in the same groups? Lmao

She was doping with Eric Lira who was unconnected to their training group, it was only her and Divine Oduduru implicated

I’m not even saying he’s clean (it is track after all) but this site has a habit of drawing connections off of anything when the truth is if someone is doping you probably won’t know how their program works because they’ve hid the lead. I just learn to sit back and watch

Yeah but what can he run for 5k?
