> O atletismo feminino está entrando em uma era dourada antes dos Jogos de LA em 2028, enquanto uma controvérsia envolvendo um dos principais treinadores ameaça esconder a verdade.

As women’s sprinting enters a golden era in the run-up to LA 2028, controversy surrounding a top coach threaten to overshadow the sport’s biggest stars

When Olympic 200m champion Gabby Thomas came second at the recent track and field World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest, she tried her best to be diplomatic: “I am an equal-opportunity doping hater,” she said. “If you are actively doping in sport, I do take issue with that. I’m not saying any names, no names are mentioned. But if you look at yourself and you think that’s what you’re doing, then so be it.”

Thomas then went out of her way to congratulate her compatriot Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, who finished ahead of her that day, aware of the territory into which she was straying.
