The 400m has just went downhill somehow after looking like seriously contending with the US. Iwan Thomas got injured and couldn't recapture his form, others seemingly dropped of the face of the earth.
It's funny because a few years ago British sprinting had an amazing future and then one daft thing has happened after another starting with Dwain Chambers failed drugs test.
I love Michael Johnson, literally. This guy talks the most sense out of everybody, it makes me wonder who US telelvision have got if we've got him analyzing on the BBC. He just talks so much sense and you can respect him for who he is and what he's done.

On Malcolm, I go along with Michael Johnson's initial words on Darren Campbell - If you aren't fit then don't compete. Don't show up, embarrass everyone and then have a bunch of excuses. Nobody seems to know just how bad this kidney failure was (although any kidney failure has to be quite bad) but if he was so out of it, he should have handed his place over to someone else who was fit.
Michael Johnson is the man though.
