Yep, saw all that on Wikipedia, but the last thing mentioned is that he didn't run the 200m at last years US Olympic trials. Since then there doesn't appear to have been a trace of him other than the gun charge. Pleading guilty to third degree felony wouldn't end your career, would it? Although, maybe in athletics with so much success dependent on endorsements.
I suppose that stint in jail is three months missed training as well. I just think he went off the rails and gave up, was too cocky and ended up falling by the wayside.
Do you think Usain Bolt could replace Thomas Walsh?

Read today that when Michael Johnson ran 19.32 in Atlanta '96 he ran his 100m straight faster than Bolt last night. I thought it was interesting anyway..............

Johnson wasn't the greatest over the 100 while Bolt well eh is. Johnson is still the greatest over 400m and I would love to see Bolt give that a blast.
