Carl is a wussy! Always has been, always will be. A once upon a time fast wussy, but a wussy none the less.

Speculate all you want about drug use in sports today, I certainly do. But the fact is that Carl Lewis failed 3 drug tests and Usain Bolt has failed none.
Thank God testing is 100% accurate!
Bolt is on drugs Lewis could only dream of.
And how about Carl's braces?
Why some people blame Shelly Ann Fraser for the braces and not Carl?

Tell me how you listen to written words on a computer screen.
Lewis = Pot
Bolt = Kettle
On the BBC feed following the 200m, I thought Bolt was quite generous to say, after the interviewer called him the first two-time 100m & 200m champ, "Yeah, but Carl Lewis missed it by that much," as he held two fingers inches apart.
And bolt ran 19.93 at 17...19.93 to 19.18 at 23. Gee .75 from 17 to 23 surely must be drugs. Technique, weights and full time training surely don't make a differance... Everyone knows you peak at 17. I don't know anyone that is faster in their 20s compared to their teens...
Moron.
Look at his 2007 200m PR, 19.75 i believe, then goes to 19.30? My ass. Wallace spearmon used to whip his ass, then he comes back and now he's the greatest ever?
His buddy Blake hasn't helped his appearance of innocence. Bolt is supposed to be once in a lifetime, yet his training partner is on the cusp of beating his 200m WR???
Don't be so naive.

I've met Frank Shorter, he was really friendly and encouraging, despite the fact that at the time, I was just another anonymous mediocre kid. He spent like ten minutes talking to me about training and racing, even though his handlers were trying to rush him along. I had been nervous approaching him, because I had been warned of his "bitterness" by a handful of older folk. Maybe he's mellowed out? This would have been about 4 years ago.

Wallace Spearmon in 2006-2007 at least was trying to run the curve. Now he doesn't even run the curve because injuries.

Ditto, in 1981. Frank is the man.
That's ignorant on your behalf. In 04 bolt ruptured his hamstring, and had recurrent hamstring/back related issues for the next few years until medical staff fixed the issue. I watched bolt run first hand at the age of 15 when I ran at the world juniors in Kingston. He had never stepped foot in a gym, was skinny as a stick and ran 20.6. The guy was the biggest prodigy in history, a genetic freak. His form was atrocious, absolutely terrible and he still crushed the field at 15. Contrary to your jealously all facts point towards bolt being clean.

In his book from the '80s he said that he generally got annoyed at adults who ask him questions because they're always questions that have been ask, answered, and recorded a million times. They just want to be able to say that Frank Shorter told them personally. But he said that he always takes the time to talk to young people because they usually have genuine questions and because when he was a kid he would have been too intimidated to approach Frank Shorter and ask him a question.

I met Frank in 1992 and he was the coolest dude ever.

The 'brilliant as a teen' argument wears a bit thin. Lots of kids are exceptional as youngsters. Very few go on with it. Only a handful become genuinely world-class. It's not so much Bolt's actual times, but how he does it with consumate ease, indeed, arrogance. Cue Makloufi in the 1500m and ? Rudisha in the 800m. The fact the latter does it multiple times in a season, and all kicked ass after rounds is also suspicious. Damn fine recoveries, wouldn't you say?

If you knowingly use a PED even if eventually it's shown to be ineffective for performance boost, what would stop you from using others? He just got caught for the one that was ineffective.
He tested positive for a substance in an herbal product that he wasn't aware was in it. This has happened many times, and with many people at the time who also got off. This isn't calculated use of a substance that has any effect. Idiots like to throw Carl in with Ben, this has nothing to do with steroids or performance enhancing substances.

Really??? "Lots of kids are exceptional." Show me all of the kids who ran 20.6 or below at age 15 and never panned out, I'm sure there are a ton of them. People don't realize how ridiculously good Bolt has been for a while.
Look if Carl Lewis was running for President..right now in Osama's spot...heck we would have Carl Lewis for Pres. So praise him and pray to him as all you fools do.
Carl Lewis tested positive for pseudoephedrine, which is not herbal and is definitely still banned.
