I think if Lemaitre went to the States for training it would definitely help him alot. For RCSMAN I admire you inane ability to defend and protect Lemaitre as I think we all want him to do his very best with his incredible natural talent. If an athlete trains in the US it does not mean he takes steroids or PED's, it is available to any athlete who wants it but I am quite positive Lemaitre would stay away from it as he already has. Some of his own teammates are using PED's so it can happen in any country. If you look at Bolt's teeth as a teenager they are all crooked and misplaced, he has not had braces in that time and yet his incisors are pronounced much more than even when he was 19, sure sign of PED's, why did Montgomery get braces in his late 20's...PED's. Many people(mostly Blacks and white haters) accuse Schippers of doping because she is a big, well built, broad shouldered white woman, with a square shaped jawline and acne who is a world class multi event athlete and world class sprinter....yet look at her as a teenager, no difference except she is now a woman.
Supporting Lemaitre is a good thing but defending mediocrity with a multitude of excuses is not conducive to helping this superior sprinter. Remember non white's and white people who hate their own race want this guy to fail. Do you really think the Black sprinters want him to be competitive? When they lose to him they are condemned by their own race. I as a Canadian used to cheer for Jared Connaughten, I know he was clean just well built, his times were decent with potential for more but he pushed so hard, ran through injury when maybe he shouldn't have done so but he is tough as nails and would do his very best at all times. Lemaitre could learn from this type of do what it takes to win attitude. One more thing that the coach in me wants to point out about Lemaitre is that he needs to relax at the start line, stay moving and limber but he is so anxious and tight then he flails his left arm in a backward motion just out of his drive phase(which is too short) which is so counter productive to moving forward at a fast pace. He wil never be a muscle dude so he needs to focus on training to be fast and increase his speed stamina which he lacks now.
Cheers....

Yes America is the place to be, the kingdom of track and field !
sorry but America is not the center of the world !
american method is what ? gatlin DOPED, montgomery DOPED, Tyson gay DOPED, Crawford DOPED, Mitchell DOPED, williams DOPED, lewis DOPED etc, etc, all sprinters ran sub 10
what is the efficacity of american method, i don't know because the best american sprinter are doped.
Not only AMERICA knows about track and field, France and the other countries also !
there are a lot of great athlete in France
100M : vicaut 9.86, Lemaitre 9.92, Christine arron 10.73, perec 10.96
200M : lemaitre 19.80, Perec 21.99
400M : Perec 48.25
400Mh : Perec 53.21
800M : Bosse : 1.42.53, patricia Djaté 1.56.53
1500M : Baala 3.28.98
pole vaul : Galfione, lavilennie etc, etc
this is the best french athletes in history, and DOPED = 0, that's difference with the american sprinter
I like america but it's stupid to think America is the place to be for track and field, it's false
i say that because, France like others countries knows about track and fields, not only AMERICA
"Supporting Lemaitre is a good thing but defending mediocrity with a multitude of excuses is not conducive to helping this superior sprinter."
the mediocrity is when a guy say "carraz is too old" it's not an argument, "carraz is not an elite trainer, his training is bad", do you live in aix les bains, no, so you don't know about his training, etc, etc THAT'S MEDIOCRITY, because is just stupid accusation and it's disrespectful.
My English is too bad to explain correctly what i would like to say.
Where is kilty, where is hari, where is gemili and the others promising sprinters, the elite sport it's not a video game, it's very difficult, more complicated what you say
