Trayvon Bromell and Andre de Grasse are clean.

He's never failed a test.

If I believe I can fly, you can believe Usain is clean.

He gets slower with age.

Which only means he's never failed a test. Lance's fan boys used to know that song too.

There isn't any concrete evidence that he is doping its just "so he must be"

He is the greatest ever by a large margin: so he must be doping

Jamaica doesn't have the best drug testing: so he must be doping

Training Partner Yohan Blake tested positive FOR A STIMULANT: so he must be doping

Bolt is clean because IAAF and British media wants "heroes" and "villains" for the track and field dirty history.

He's Dirty and you know it.

He's the best doper and he just beat another doper.

World champion doper

He does not pass my gut check.

On assumes all the sprinters lift weights, coached by experts. And yet he looks lower body fat index and absolutely cut like body builders, noted dopers.

Please make credible cases as to how all this - he's injure, out of shape, goes to German doctor, repeatedly, presto he's world beater again, again, again.

None of the old time sprint coaches believe he's clean. Why is LR so quick to believe? Maybe the biggest doper is

Hiding in plain sight???

If he's clean, I want to understand it,

Legit.

If I were to make an argument to myself that he's clean it would be that his performance in the 100 final is not up to his usual, obviously-doped standards; that perhaps the recent focus on doping has spooked him to such a degree that he chose to forgo doping for these championships or this year. Or at least discontinue one or more of the most-detectable substances or techniques...

There's really no way you can prove any of the top guys in the world is clean in this day and age rather than trailing them 24/7 and seeing every action they do. Based on history of the sport and a bunch of other factors I think it reasonable for a person to assume Bolt is dirty.

I can however believe that Bolt could be clean. He is a genetic freak that is such and extreme outlier from a physical standpoint I think there can be hope that he is actually just that much better than everyone else naturally.

At the end of the day though I would say its more likely he's doped because that's just the world we live in.

Of course he's dirty. As is everyone else that qualified for the final today...for every event. I've broken this down several times...

#1 - doping provides a substantial benefit to an athlete

#2 - doping testing sucks, so there are bound to be dirty athletes in competition

#3 - it would take an insanely, superhuman, naturally talented athlete to match the advantages that doping provides.

Conclusion: Most, if not all, champions in track and field are dirty.

I think this has been asked before, but the one athlete I hope is clean is Jenny Simpson. But, my guess is she's using without her knowledge.

You don't need to know Bolt is clean to be glad he beat a PROVEN doper.

If you can't root against the proven dopers and drive them out of the sport forever, then you aren't really against doping at all. Just shrugging and deciding it's ok because everyone else dopes too is a do-nothing approach.

It's naive to think any sprinter is for sure clean, including Bromell and De Grasse especially. As if college kids are too innocent for drugs. All elite sprinters are suspect, but that's a lot better than proven dopers. So be glad that not only did Gatlin miss that almost sure gold, but Powell, Gay and Rodgers (stimulants) all failed to medal too.

They all use "without their knowledge"

There is no evidence of Bolt doping. He looks completely different than anyone in the field. He is nowhere near his best times 6 years ago. He looked truly nervous before this race.

That said, he may be doping. We will never know until he fails a test. The guy has been on top for a long time. We know a lot of the other guys have or currently dope. I really don't care.
