Still not convinced Bolt is drugged to the gills??
I am, look at the dilution of sprint talent since Bolt is on the scene.
Bolt is in the Lance category, he has made such a face of the sport nobody even knows who is clean anymore.....
New rule for Lets Run - don't discuss sprints or sprinters or anything to do with the 100, 200, 400, jumps and hurdle events, even the 800 - you don';t have a clue - all it is American guys who type away "blah de blah MF blah de blah" as if youre hard or even the occasional so and so BOMBS out - na blud stfu just shut the FU jheeze wankaz

Hopefully the Zika virus doesn't disable him.
Hello, mods?! You alive? Ban this kid before it lays eggs
Sorry, didn't realize that was your sister.
Not a chance the Triple Triple was the last motivation for the multimillionaire to keep sweating day in and day out. Now that Nesta Carters Drug DQ made that a nonissue it is over. His celebrity value is established.
The only thing he is going to run is his yam farm.
Bolt competing in Tokyo is a zero sum game.

My gawd I hope if people bookmark this and try to come back in 2020 the link doesn't work because the brojos decided to update the forum software...
If I were Bolt, I'd try and win more gold medals in 2020 just to put the record so far out of reach, it never gets broken.
I could maybe, just maybe see him running the 200. Not the 100 and certainly not the 400. I also think he would only do it if he was pretty certain he'd win.

nah hes gonna pull an 09 and break his records at the 17 WCs
If he limits his races and aims to peak for the next WC and Olympic events, I cannot see any reason to stop, especially when nobody is anywhere close to beating him. In fact they are further away from beating him now they than they have ever been. I say keep going until u finally get beaten. Then u know u have accomplished all thats possible.

No way...he would had lost against WvN already this year in the 200.
19.8. Come on guys....what are we talking about. He only got lucky that those Eugene times from Gatlin and Merrit once again proved to be 100% fake and that the rest just isn't good enough to run those 1980's times, including that horrible DeGrasse guy.
No more running after 2016 on the highest level. Over and done with. They sure as hell are not going to take the risk of Bolt half-assing his training again over the winter and showing up with no form in London.
1) Follow the money! I'd expect Bolt to announce approx six months ahead that he's started training to make the 4 x 400 team in Tokyo. For starters that's enough to get media going, the IOC/IAAF a PR b*ner and personal sponsors (old and new) coming to him with open wallets.
2) Expect a maximized media strategy! To keep things exciting but vague he'll then skip the Jamaican trials citing something along the lines of "training's going well but I'm not quite there yet, maybe I'll have to settle for being in the preliminary rounds, I'll bring experience to the team that I'll happily share with the young guys".
3) And if Bolt's running well in the preliminary rounds of the 4 x 400 the Jamaican team will suddenly call a press conference to announce he'll be running in the final too. Bolt only needs one more olympic gold to make it to ten. Risking a loss in an individual event might also risk his legacy (from a then future standpoint) but going after that 10th gold in a realy has no real possible downsides.
