Some of you guys are morons.

like miguel tejada then
I agree. I also think Chris Derrick and Ryan Hall and the Goucher girl are on the same thing. Derrick broke Pre's record by 10 seconds! Drugs. Also Wariner. How can a white man run so fast without drugs? Impossible.

Usain Bolt
Anyone one that thinks bolt is clean is a sodding idiot!!!! It's a shame some people are so f***ing blind! I just hope when he gets busted there isn't a cover up!
Anyone that thinks Kara Goucher and Shalane Flanagan are clean is a sodding idiot!!!! It's a shame people are so d**n blind. I just hope when they get busted there isn't a cover up!
1988 100 final....6/8 finalist were busted at one point or another.
That was 20yrs ago...now?...hmmm....
Bolt is so dirty. hahaha HE BROKE THE HARDEST RECORD IN THE BOOKS.
The 200m dash. It was 19.33
now it is 19.32.
AND EVERYONE KNEW MJohnson was on Drugs. lol
He is using the same drugs as everybody else. The drug regimens have been posted numerous times on the web. They are subtle variations depending upon the athlete. I doubt whether or not he has a 'special' drug that he uses. Secrets like that are hard to keep.

Neither of those numbers are correct.
how exactly do you decide who is the "more impressive genetically" ?
Bolt has always been a speedster. He was a stud at 14, all he is doing is maturing. Now add 6-5 and years of over distance training and that's all we're seeing. Only somebody who knows...0...about sprinting has this freak of nature on drugs.
wow almost 2 pages of posts and no one has made the obvious claim? come on letsrun the dude is JAMAICAN! we know for sure he's on at least one drug, mon.
So was Mark Lewis Francis.
MLF was nothing like Bolt. We can start with ..6-5.
The problem is, Ben Johnson "only" ran 9.79 when he set the world record, and Montgomery "only" ran 9.78 when he set the world record, and Gatlin "only" ran 9.76 when he set the world record AND ALL THREE WERE SUBSEQUENTLY DISALLOWED DUE TO DRUG USE. With Bolt at 9.69, what are we to think?
The day of the athletic "hero" is gone. It was taken away by the proliferation of drugs. Whether it's Bolt or Bekele, all top performers are now suspect. They may be completely innoncent, but we'll never know. Very sad, but very real.

Black Elvis, is height were an advantage in sprinting, as it is in basketball, we would set at least half of all Olympic sprinters being over 6'4". It isn't, we don't.
It's not the drugs that allow you to run faster...it's the increased training load the drugs enable you to do .
So...assuming that everyone who's involved in sprinting on world class level (as seems to be the general thought here on Letsrun)is on the drugs....Bolt still trains the hardest.
I personally don't give a sh*t who's on what. As long as the times are fast and there's a level playing field (which is the case if everyone is on it) I'll watch..and enjoy.
As long as people don't get caught...they're innocent...same goes for alle the EPO-using distance runners!
Donovan Bailey was a lazy MOFO, but he sure could run. He was on pace for 9.65 during his 1996 olympic run, but decided to do some weird celebration. Great runner, possibly even the best ever.
