TRACK: Will this white boy be faster than Michael Johnson?
A recurring theme: you've probably never heard of Jeremy Wariner if you live in the United States. Even though he's the fastest man in America, maybe the world. He's got a good shot at breaking Michael Johnson's quarter mile world record this month in Osaka. But you have to read Pakistani, Australian and other foreign newspapers to get any news about him. The funniest thing about this Qatari news story - it points out that Wariner isn't black. Since there's no picture of him, I think that's a legitimate thing to mention, even if if it does make you feel like you're in 1955.
