Six Olympic champions — Asafa Powell, Nesta Carter, Justin Gatlin, Veronica Campbell-Brown, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Allyson Felix — so far have been confirmed for Doha Diamond League athletics. Do you need more reasons to be at the Qatar Sports Club on the evening of May 11?

Who’s going?

Gatlin? Had an issue with doping last time he was here. The others? Also kinda suspicious. Not the real athletes one would want to see!

Only one star there, Veronica Campbell-Brown (VCB). where is Usain or Yohan Blake? Definitely not worth paying to see. If its free then its worth it.

"Do you need more reasons to be at the Qatar Sports Club on the evening of May 11?"

There would have to be a bar involved to get me there. I would rather watch paint dry. Of course if they were allowed to body check or take somebody's legs out from under them, then that would be a real man's sport and worth watching and I would be there without the need of a bar.

of course i need more reasons:

when and how much?

if it's before 9:00 pm don't count on me.

if it's more than 100qr it's not worth it.
