LSU star Kelly-Ann Baptiste and former sprinter Semoy Hackett have left the IAAF World Championships before running. Baptiste reportedly tested positive for a banned substance Hackett tested positive after the National Championship at LSU which cost the Tigers the trophy.

Many other former and current Tiger greats are competing in Moscow. Let's wish the rest of them well.

Uh oh. Any reason for an A-Rod-like appeal?

Sad, hard to believe. I know KAB and cannot imagine her intentionally doing this.

Report states that both took a flight home within a couple of hours of the test. Long gone from Moscow. Will have to wait and see what substance was used. Its not reported yet but some are speculating methylhexaneamine which is an over the counter ingredient in many supplements.

I got news for you every athlete that has been tested positive in their A & B sample in any sport know what is going into their bodies...The pressure to get to and stay at the top is a pressure cooker!

This is entertainment. Let em take whatever they want to take. If they want to risk their bodies and health, let 'em. "Performance Enhancing Drugs", shouldn't we be insisting they take them to increase the entertainment value??? What was more fun, watching Bonds, McGwire and Sosa bash homeruns or watching the CWS this year?

PED's are in high school and college, with athletes looking for edges anyway they can I don't know that sports will ever be clean.
