Michael Johnson Talking Trash About World Recorder Holder Asafa Powell
Jamaican 100 metres world record holder Asafa Powell is not the world's best sprinter, according to retired 200 and 400 record holder Michael Johnson. MJ: "Asafa Powell is a great talent but he can never get it done. He's failed time after time at the championships."

Do we always have to point the finger at someone and say they are the druggies, after they state their opinion on what they believe is the better sprinter. Let MJ have his opinion and you have yours.

Why did Michael Johnson just walk away from track, do u think he was dirty and knew it catch up to him.

Don't believe a certain Jamaican top sprinter hasn't seen an undetectable performance enhancing drug either. Just a clue how did a certain sprinter pull one of the toughest muscle in the body (pectoral). Hummmm!

Michael Johnson complained about the treatment and disrespect he received from the Santa Monica Track Club crew (Carl Lewis, Mike Marsh, et.a.) for years. When he became the worlds most prominent track athlete, he developed the same, if not worse airs he attributed to the SMTC crowd. In other words he's a hypocrite and his comments are very inappropriate. Asafa Powell has lost some races. So what! He's won some too. I like Tyson Gay, but Powell is the worlds fastest human!

I feel that Michael Johnson can learn from Tyson Gay, have you watched how Tyson carries himself, he is a gentleman, he is not into the rivalry that MJ seems to engendering. Tyson was at the JII this weekend where Usain Bolt showed that Jamaica is not dependent on one sprinter- he has not commented on Usain's performance yet, but Tyson was congratulatory in his approach.
