Michael Johnson accused of ‘black racism’ after questioning Toby Amosan’s world record

Track legend Michael Johnson has been accused of “black racism” after he questioned whether Nigeria’s world record holder Toby Amosan was true.

The 100-meter hurdles smashed Kendra Harrison’s 2016 world record by 0.08 seconds at the IAAF World Championships in Oregon on Sunday.

BBC critic Johnson, who won four Olympic golds and eight World Championships golds in his football career, questioned the time Amosan scored.

I don’t think 100 hours is correct. The world record broken by .08! A group of 12 PBs. 5 National Records Collection. And Cindy Semper Quoted After PB/NR “I’ve Been Running Slow!” All the athletes looked shocked [sic].

“Heat 2, it debuted that we won with a time of 12.53. After a few seconds it shows 12.43. Rounding by 0.01 is normal. ..10 is not.

Amusan became the world champion at a faster time later in the day at Hayward Field, but the time didn’t count toward the records due to the massive tailwind.

Johnson has been accused of racism for casting doubts over the accuracy of the Amosanne world record time of 12.12 seconds.

One Twitter user responded to Johnson’s comments, writing: Michael Johnson, are you naturally stupid or should you make an effort?

“Why don’t you direct your energy to recover from your stroke, elemental black!

“Toby Amosan is the world record holder and there is nothing you can do about it.”

Another said, “Just because it’s not a report on the American war doesn’t mean the times were wrong,” while one added, “Did you question the record when an American broke the record?”

He later wrote on his Twitter account: “The level of stupidity that appears in my feed now is really amazing!

As a commentator, my job is to comment. In questioning the times of 28 athletes (not a single athlete) by asking if the timing system is broken.

I was attacked and accused of racism and questioning the talent of an athlete I respect and expected to win. unacceptable. I’m on the move.’
