BEIJING. – It won’t be before August 15 when all doubts are cleared on the health of the hurdler Felix Sanchez, who arrived Wednesday afternoon and immediately begun to prepare for his competitions.
Sanchez, the defending 400-meter hurdles champion of the Olympics in Athens, hasn’t been on the tracks since he won a bronze medal in Osaka, Japan, in last year’s World Championships.
And though speculations as to reported injury which nags him since 2004 abound, upon arriving yesterday said he felt well and would go to the track to defend his gold won convincingly in 2004.
From: Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo

BELIAL: God, Felix has a sore muscle and he's due to run soon in the Olympics.
GOD: So?
BELIAL: Well, can you fix Felix muscle so it won't hurt any more.
GOD, Yeah, I can fix Felix muscle, but I may not want Felix to win this time. I've already given him one gold medal.
BELIAL: Even if you don't let Felix win again, please fix his muscle anyway.
GOD: I'll think about it.

Screw Sanchez. he is no hero. te only reason he runs with a shirt that say Dominican republic is because the US Track and Field santioning body told him and his positive urine test to take a hike.
Be proud of real Dominican Heroes.
Bernardo Vega
Frank Rainieri
Lets see who else we can add to this list.
No Athletes or entertainers need apply.

FELIX SANCHEZ heroic record, exposing the dirty lies of cappie clown anthonyC
FELIX SANCHEZ 400 m hurdles highlights:
Olympic Games
.... 2004, Athens - 47.63 s - Gold
World Championships in Athletics
.... 2001, Edmonton - 47.49 s - Gold
.... 2003, Paris Saint-Denis - 47.25 s - Gold
.... 2007, Osaka - 48.01 s - Silver
Pan American Games
... 2003, Santo Domingo - 48.19 - Gold
After failing to make the final of the 400 m hurdles at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Sanchez wore a souvenir red band around his wrist as motivation. He wore it when winning "HEROICALLY" 43 consecutive races from 2001 to 2004, including his two world titles and Olympic title. He retired it after the Athens Olympics, and donated it to the IAAF for auction.
In his 43 event winning streak, the dual citizen Dominican American kicked the butts of US rivals 43 consecutive times.

Here's an amazing piece about the struggle ... within the souls of US citizens ... for supremacy between greed and honor as a motive for great performances in the arts [which includes sports].
In the USA, we generally presume greed always wins. But in reality, it doesn't.
The US citizens in the piece are:
(1) Felix Sanchez, a Dominican American, who won the gold medal at 2003 Pan Am Games in the Santo Domingo, competing for the Dominican Republic.
(2) Some "John Doe" from the USA who flew to Santo Domingo in 2003 and watched Felix Sanchez compete in the Pan AM Games.
Enjoy.

"Don't get Your point since You don't make sense whatsoever discrediting this patriot."
A patriot for whom?
He isn't Dominican so he isn't a Patriot for the DR.
He doesn't race for the US even though he is a US Citizen so he isn't a Patriot for the USA.
So tell me How is he a Patriot? Stop being so damn Lambon and tell me. Did he fight for the DR? Does he stop Crime? Does he combat corruption?
He doesn't even live or train in the DR.
There are a lot more REAL DOMINICAN athletes who you should root for.
BTW He is in no way a Hero!!! I don't care if you embrace him as Dominican. A hero is someone who gives of himself in an way that most will not do without any expectation of reward.
The last Heroes at the Olympics were the members of the 72 Israeli Olympic team who gave their lives so that others could escape.
Yossef Gutfreund, Moshe Weinberg and Yossef Romano were Heroes.

same bullshit with alex rodriguez the only difference is that felix is not arrogant. Now every sports fan whants A-Rod and felix to be patriotic and represent the country where they were born. Now I ask myself and you anthonyC what would you say if this 2 Dominican American athletes were to be Dominican American drug dealers from the heights, would you still be hoping for to be true Americans and represent the country where they were born. You guys ignore A-Rod when he was coming up and we supported him and ya didn't think felix was good enough for the American team until h won

now felix isn't Dominican he's American just because he got the talent to win gold medals in major sports events while every other Hispanic looking American is getting discriminated around the US
From: United States
AnthonyC:
What about so many sportsmen from different nationalities let's say (Italian-american), (Jewish-american) that in some events represent their parents motherland.
You are nonsense and have very rabid, pissed and hateful comments against this man.
So if His parents are Dominican where is He from (heritage) according to Your expertise Dumb A..??
