Obviously, Devers didn't go to the Olympics with the intention of tanking it!
She may indeed have regretted getting injured prior to the Olympics and may
indeed be wondering if she wouldn't have been better off resting up a lot
more before the Olympics. That is possible. But all this nonsense about
Devers losing on purpose makes no sense at all. She gave quite the opposite
impression by showing up and running well in the first two rounds. And she
had nothing to gain by losing on purpose. Stopping when she did to avoid
further damage to her hamstring is not unusual. Maurice Greene did that in
the 200 in the Olympic trials. Do you think he lost on purpose as well?
