If he was, why turn up at all and then go thro the histrionics of a 9 year old? Injured or not, the behaviuour was over the top, even for a track and field athlete!! In my mind, it surpasses the guy who lay down on the track for a few hours because he had false started. Give us a break. move on!!! I am not saying he wasnt injured.

Seriously I think he was genuinely disappointed and put on a show. Maybe he was just trying to get some air time for his sponsors? Maybe he was worried about having to pee in a little jar?

He'd have run if he didn't. Did he come to the track and show us the injury to save face with the Chinese? I don't know enough about their culture to answer that. It was a circus though. And don't expect us to ever find out the truth - don't know why you expect the truth to ever come out. No doubt he’s injured. He’d have run if he didn’t.

Because he stuff up by getting injured some people like to feell pain for punishment and kick the injured leg to the wall seems to be a good idea. His injury let down the entire country you think its quite reasonable to have a little self-punishment I don’t think that prove he is faking.
