Bolt 9.88

Oh for God sake, shut up people! His form right now doesn't mean anything about his form in years prior!

He struggles to run the times he could two years ago- conclusion: he was on drugs. WTH? What kind of logic is that?

The man was injured last year. It takes a LONG TIME to regain the kind of form and confidence after you've been away for some time. Most athletes never regain their form at all!

Bolt turns it on in the major championships, and all these "sluggish starts" and whatever can be corrected on the big stage. I'm not a huge fan of Bolt, but you skeptics won't be happy until the world implodes.

You're wrong.

It has been a long time--long enough, anyway. Even if he wasn't fully "recovered", he should be ahead of where he is right now if he had been training as he claims.

He now REALLY struggles to do times that he JOGGED 2 years ago. That is truly dramatic, given his age and stage of his career.

And Bolt "USED TO" turn it on in the major championships. He won't this year, although he'll still win the 200m unless he gets "injured".

There's a world of difference between a guy who struggles to run a 9.88 (+1.0) and a guy who goofs and negative-leans a 9.69 (0.0)

The difference being that one is untouchable, while the other is beatable.

Game over. The blood is in the water.

Sprint Wheezer is an idiot but he's right.

I have to go bathe now.

He knew Carter would be there--that's why he looked over at the end of the race. Not to confirm that he won, but to see IF he won.

He knows he is vulnerable. Carter should have beat him in this race, and Bolt just got lucky.

What does luck have to do with it? You're a retard. My guess is that Bolt won maybe because he's better than Carter, but I'm also crazy.

What's the deal with new Jamaican Anti Drug Program or testing or whatever?

Please more facts, dates, and general info about it.

I think the Glen Mills groups is on something.

Bolt: Struggling to run 9.9's and high 9.8's

Blake: Not as good as early season

Bailey: A bit slower than 2009

Callender: Struggling to run 20.7's

Palacios: 20.9's...

In the opposite we got Stephen Francis group

Powell: Running confortable

Carter: improving

Frater: PB at almost 30 years old.

I think a lot of people are getting much much too carried away with Bolt's form or lack thereof this season.

From his first race I noticed that not only was he bigger but he was a lot less fluid and "bouncy" with his running than he had been in 2008 & 2009. I think his coach may have been working with him to put on a bit more muscle in the hopes of improving his times and the extra weight and loss of flexibility that we see is hurting him right now. There's also the supposed matter of his prior back problems and having to take it easy on back exercises and marginal changes in his start and running form.

All in all though, I think the worrying and doom-mongering is premature. Bolt will certainly win the 200m but the 100 is simply up in the air not just because of increased competition but because he's in a bit of a transition period. I still give him the nod for the double in Daegu though.

As for the drugs allegations, anyone care to say which ones he was supposedly on?

Gaining weight would be stupid on bolt and glen mills part. I think he wanted to get stronger and gained weight as a result but I've see guys gain weight and they are usually running the same times after about 2-3 races. Bolt is way off. I get sick of him saying he is ready then runs a mediocre time and says he's not fully fit yet. Stop yapping off at the mouth. My personal opinion is the jamaicans were doping especially racers. Now it seems they may be being watched and it's showing in the times.

Noone has ever or will ever escape scrutiny by running the times Bolt was running. Why bother anyway, especially when the samples are going to be kept for years and years and probably retroactively tested.

In the event that they were on the juice, they probably weren't using anything on the banned substance list anyway ;) and now they're it because whatever they were using is on it now.

Do you know why these American bloggers are so sure in there accusations about the Jamaican athletes doping? It's because they know that drugs are the key to the USA Track n Field success over these past 20-30 years.So in other words....

"I know that the Jamaicans are doping because, I'm taking every steroid under the sun and I'm still losing to them badly. This must mean that they too are taking something, right?

No! Wrong

Do you guys remember when Ben Johnson beat Carl Lewis in 1988 Olympics? What were his comments after it was revealed that Ben Johnson had failed his drug test?

Oh! I remember........

It was something along the lines of "I knew something was up when Ben crossed the finish line ahead of me, especially in the manor (time) in which he did it. What Carl Lewis failed to mention was that he too was on stimulants and only another athlete who is just as guilty as he is could beat him in that race at that Olympics.

Carl Lewis did not expect to lose that race! Why would he? After all! He is an American and they were untouchable back then, plus! let’s not forget that he had tested positive for pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine all banned substances the USOC declared to be due to inadvertent use(July 1988).

NICE TRY BULLSHITTERS………LMFAO

LMAO are you serious you just proved our very point. When we are kicking you ass for years and mediocre sprinters who have been getting their ass kicked for years come out of nowhere doing amazing times, not only amazing times but they skip across the line celebrating while breaking a world record, and we accuse them of doping and it just so happens to be true, as in the example you provided with ben johnson and carl lewis. It shows we are right in our assesment.2nd-By the way you can remove every drug cheat from the U.S. and you still have plenty of athletes that have gotten gold. michael johnson, maurice greene, gail devers, allen johnson, tommy smith, john carlos, allyson felix, edwin moses, jeremy wariner. try doing the same with Jamaicans and Im not including relay medalists lol. Thats too much typing. for every jamaican GOLD medallist you name i'll name two american gold medallists that have never been implicated on drug charges. Jamaicans have just gotten good lol. Me being completely honest, Canada had their time and when their top gun went down so did the rest of the canadian sprinters. So be careful because after bolt and powell are done you really don't much backup. by the way all that high stepping and overstriding and looking to the side from asafa powell when he beats b list sprinters, will not work in a major championship final. Just training his body to shut down.3. How come now that Jamaica has a real doping control their top gun on the men and women side ave slowed down drastically? thank god for the residual effects of steroids lmao. SAF and U Bolt are looking pretty bad.

No drugs, no glory. You can see it now, since Jamaica instituted drug testing.

Tyson picked not the best year to have surgery, but if this is the true drug-free Bolt (and not actually the effect of injury that won't be there next year) we are looking at, I say Gay wins the gold in London.

What happened to the Jamaican miracle of ’08 and ’09?

In 2009, Jamaica was forced by the IAAF and WADA to institute a drug testing program and in 18 months, half of the female medalists from the ’08 Olympics and ’09 World Championships have either disappeared or come back down to earth. The only person who has improved or even match their performances from 2 years ago is Kaliese Spencer, who was only about 21 back then. VCB is one who has improved, but she has been very good for a long time.

Prior to ’08, Shelly Ann had an 11.3x PR in the 100m, the following year she runs 10.73 and wins the Olympic gold medal. Btw, that is a bigger improvement than FloJo made in one year. In 2007 Melaine Walker was a good NCAA caliber hurdler with a 400m flat PR of 52x; in 2008 Melaine almost equals her 400m flat PR going over hurdles. Melaine always had talent, but off the top of my head I don’t think she ever won a World Junior title, or an NCAA title, but in 08/09, she wins the Olympic goal medal, the following year the WC and runs the 2nd fastest time in history, she wins the World Athletes final in ’08 and ’09. Brigitte Foster is someone I remember as always making 100 hurdle finals , but usually losing out on the medals to the Americans. I think she did win a medal in the 2000 or 2004 Olympics, but she was getting slower each year, which in OK when are in your mid-30s. I thought Brigitte Foster had retired ad then in 2008 she wins the Olympic goal medal and runs he 2nd fastest time in her career. In 2008, Brigitte Foster and Delloreen Ennis ran some of their best times and folks…they are from the Gail Devers era.

Interesting, athletes like Sheri-Ann, Vonette Dixon, Veronica Campbell and Aleen Baily who previously trained in the U.S., all of a sudden were struggling to makes teams against the athletes who stayed on the island and weren’t drug tested. I don't recall the exact details, but 2008 or 09 there were about a half dozen Jamaicans busted for doping, but they got off on technicality.

With all of that said, I have always thought Bolt was clean becasue was so good at a young age.

And you know and I know what the difference is.

He's on Repoxygen. A drug that works like EPO. But it's a cream and virtually undetectable. They may have a test for it now that this one (i forgot his name) PED scientist is working for WADA now.

Basically it would help him train harder and longer while the improved recovery meant less injury. That's why he could run 19.6 so easily in the 200 and now he can't even break 19.8.

Nice trolling attempt.

4/10

Repoxygen!! hahahahaha

Now tell me about your "reliable sources" from inside Bolt's camp.

Bolt is just taking life easy .Unless he is injured will win the gold in 100 ,200 and relay.

In spite of all the "bad times" he has run this year, Bolt still hasn't lost. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and still consider him the favorte for the 100 and 200.

I'm sure you've heard of him. His name is Trevor Graham. That's my source. Pretty reliable one at that.
