Hindsight is 20/20 The decision to subject other's to COVID was a bad decision,but Noah is in a unique situation the public and people like you and elite athlete can not judge one's comments later would you say Noah was scared, or he is using COVID as an excuse. The public comments and opinions are harsh your comment about Justin is harsh and I think on some level rude and disrespectful. Sir you have not and can not and never will in your natural life run and compete at a level the Mr. Gatlin has, so to use this platform to insult Mr. Gatlin is irritating and not a responsibile statement. I personally resent your attack on Mr. Gatlin it's his opinion and he deserves to state his opinion. Mr. Gatlin may change his mind about his opinion and feeling, but he has the right to make it without being attacked. People like you are the reason why Noah made that decision. The attack on him would have been more harsh than him running this event. He still placed third and won a bronze medal something you sir will never do and certainly can not do. Stop your attacks on this men. Have a opinion with attacking and disrespecting both of these men.

[@mike733544]

@@kitty1977 I am not excited at all attacking anyone. I am a former professional athlete. I know how we think and feel. Noah was not probably factoring that in his mind to not hug someone else. It was a natural reaction of respect to other athletes and besides he was so tired and not thinking clearly enough to say hey don't get too close because I have been newly diagnosed. He is a preformer and game full athlete and was so focused on seeing if he could pull it off health. I do not need to read any further bof your statement. It should have just been left alone. He is probably kicking himself and who knows offering an apology to those he came in contact with. Sometimes things need to be kept to ourselves and not broadcast that to the Masses.

He ran 19.70 according to you Noah got much faster in the 100 but much slower in the 200😅. Noah is a slow starter that's why he was last in the 100m with 40m left he actually had a faster start in the 200 finals then the 100m finals . If Noah was healthy he would have ran low 19.20s.

Hey Man! It wasn't his excuse. The Paris Doctor's said he had already tested positive. It's left up to the athletes themselves, whether they pull out of an event or not. So, after he expended ALL of his energy, to even win the Bronze Medal. He collapsed and had to be carted off in a wheelchair and then a gurney, and finally taken to the hospital. All of this activity, was verified by the Olympic Security Staff, Ambulatory Techs, Nurses, attending Doctor's on staff, et al. Moreover yes, I do think he should have made every reasonable effort to get his sickly, COVID carrying ass, off the track, before hugging, touching, or even talking to ANY other athlete. Bad move for certain and he's acknowledged that fact, albeit after the incident. Did he get completely get caught up in the Olympic competition moment? Hell yes, he did! Leson learned, I'm sure. If possible, instead of criticizing the man. Stop 2nd damn guessing what he shoulda, woulda, coulda, done. And let's be thankful for the fact that no one did catch COVID, as a result of Noah's irresponsible decision and behavior.

Ali said he was the GREATEST throughout, nobody said anything. I am not in any way trying to compare the two, but the analogy is the same. I agree with Mr. Gatlin. Something to think about: People die from the FLU also. It was the Government that said COVID was the BIG deal - We were all lied to. It was God who HUMBLED Noah. Hopefully we will see a different Noah at future competitions.

@@karenmartin2457 Not quite sure what you are saying, but the analogy I was making was to Muhammad Ali - That's all. I should have included his first name. I never said that Tebogo did not win that race fair and square - Let me repeat: It was God that HUMBLED Noah.

He shouldn’t got up on that podium . He claimed he knowingly had covid , why did he run ? Putting people at risk. No quarantine anymore ? If It was another country probably would’ve been a whole different reaction .

@@DHumbleServant not probable it would have been a whole different story. Americans could be so bias.

Jeopardizing the health of other athletes is unacceptable but, who allowed him to race infected? Maybe he wasn't infected and the wheelchair was an act?

I agree Justin! I knew he had COVID though, as soon as they showed him in the back with the mask before coming out.

[@karenmartin2457]

Yeah of course you agree I bet if he was from another country besides America you wouldn’t agree.
