I wonder how ManRam escaped his suspension so unscathed? Everyone still LOVES that guy...
If it is discovered that Bolt is doping, it would be a huge hit to Track. This guy is the ONLY thing in Track that is keeping it on the mainstream map. Bekele, Haile, Dibaba - no one else but Bolt is making it on Sport Center. So if Bolt ever tests positive it will absolutely bury Track and Field.

He won't it would be suicide for any parties invested in track and athletics. That guy would get a warning phone call before any test. And lets be real, all he's doing it beating the best dopers in the world. It's not as if he is the only one doping and as a result is so fast.
I never thought of Justin Gatlin as low on the totem pole.

You are being manipulated if you think this proves anything. Just like in the NFL, claiming a super-awesome testing regimen, then catching a few people low(er) on the totem pole to save face, is the oldest game in the book. That way they can say "see??? we told you we tested everyone thoroughly!" without actually losing big name athletes.
What i don't get is Wejo is always saying how the jamaicans are clean, but now on the front page he says he can't say he's surprised?
Mixed signals?

take this as a for instance:
in ncaa drug testing, it's always the cross country runners or the tennis players that get subjected to the "random" drug testing at 5am, not, say, the football players. the point is that sure the jamaicans "randomly" tested their athletes, but their "random" selection just happened to omit their top athletes. it's not complicated.

People are usually referring to out of competition testing. This just shows that the sprinters are idiots if they tested positive when they knew that they would be tested.
Mullings was already a caught cheater...maybe again?
IF Bolt is dirty, and I can only have an opinion on that because he hasn't tested dirty, would anyone be surprised to see him just shatter the record at Worlds and then pull a Flojo? Retire and live on endorsements and motivational speeches.
I can't see Bolt being much of a public speaker. He just seems like too much of a clown. Maybe a hip hop DJ or a Pauly Shore type of sports commentator or some such.

O.K. Popeye
I wouldn't be suprised that if Bolt were to test positive at the Jamaican Nats. through their own testing if the results were then swept under the carpet.
From now on you can refer to me as "The Prophet"
The drug itself is not an anabolic steroid and is considered a minor drug, meaning that with a good explanation at a hearing, the athlete could get off with a reprimand."
Don't get carried away just yet
just as doping authorities will never convict lance armstrong (the french would without batting an eyebrow, the french weaklings are the exception), Bolt, regardless of whether he fails a test or doesnt, will never be reported as failing a drug test. He has been hyped up too much by the media, he is a world celebrity, he comes from a neutral nation (jamaica, who hates jamaica ?)
Mark my words, Bolt will go down as one of the g.o.a.t, if not the g.o.a.t, unequivocally.
Pot?

Yeah, just like Marion Jones, the former face of Track and Field, never had a reported failure. Oh wait...
Calm the eff down people. The truth is always slow to develop.

If that's the case how come Jones got busted. I know she passed tests, but if you are covering up they would have covered the other angles as well
By the oldest game in the book, do you mean like with Johnson?
