Has anyone else noticed Yohan Blake's Flo-Jo style long fingernails?

To combat the continuing statements made by some Jamaicans that Jamaica is so terribly a poor country and have no scientific capabilities.

Ok then so who is mixing the juice the professors or students.

Btw you really should do some research about UWI before you make a fool of yourself.

I think Blake just thought the clock was wrong, because 1) he had a bad start and 2) he wasn't that far ahead of Dix, who he probably thought would be around 19.8 or something.

Subdued responses are hardly proof of doping or not doping. Plenty of dopers have gotten really excited about their great, aided times.

I think you don't know how PED's work.

I think this Jamaican genetics pocket argument is a piece of crap.

So you know how PEDs work? You've taken a few? Here is a great response to the doping claims that I just read.

The big surprise here is not the fantastic Jamaican times,The surprise is how mighty USA,with all their technology cannot detect a drug being used by a third world country. It makes no sense especially regarding the ego of the USA who always want to be the best at everything.Are you telling me that CHINA , FRANCE EUROPE and all these technologically advanced countries are behind the caribbean in drug making and testing techniques. GROW UP guys and give credit where its due,your arguments make you look like MORONS,think about it . by the way i,m BRITISH AND WHITE"

Obviously this guy (blake) is doping but so are the other top guys. You don't win medals without doing something.

That being said, something has tipped the scales from US dominance to jamaican dominance. I would say that there are differences in the drug testing that explains some of the difference. Some can get away with more than others.

I very much doubt that the jamaicans have access to stuff that the americans don't....it's just that they can get away with more for various reasons. Back in the 90s the americans had an advantage which has now be erased. Their athletes aren't as protected and their access to unique stuff isn't the same.

Another factor is obviously that someone like bold is an incredible natural talent (he ran monster times at 15-16). So in his case when you add out of this world natural talent + doping...magic happens.

I also noticed that someone wrote that they thought Michael Johnson was not doping when the set his 200m WR at the 96 (GH) olympics. Absolutely was he doping, he was using designer steroids, growth hormone (gh) among other things.

Please don't be so naive.

What a load of crap. You don't even know his name. It's BOLT.

Balco took care of the American doping advantage. Now athletes all over the world are being tested like crazy and the playing field is level. Usain Bolt is currently the most tested athlete in the world.

No one wants to simply give Jamaica credit for having the best sprinters in the world, in their eyes, it must be dope. Of course, the loudest complainers are from the country that doped so much, it almost destroyed T&F. How hypocritical? America is traumatized by it's own doping past! It's hard to understand that Jamaica would have been dominating all along if not for the unfair chemical advantage.

I wonder how many medals Jamaicans like Merlene Ottey, got cheated out of because of systematic doping? So many, they named her the bronze queen. If you ask me every American medal, pre-balco means sh*t because it's likely they cheated to get it. The medals should be returned and their records wiped clean. If you think about that, it makes T&F of the past, a freakin joke... a complete waste of time!!!

Now the biggest offenders are crying foul.

It's time to recognize the Jamaicans for what they are...the best damn sprinters in the world. If you can't THANK THEM for being good enough and entertaining enough to bring the sport so many of you claim to love, back from the brink, then STFU. Stop the hypocritical bashing of them and rejoice with them.

THere is no way that MJ is 6'1". He used to train in my local track.

We will find out eventually where the juice is coming from. Give it time.

Are you saying the University of the West Indies does not have a campus in Jamaica?

Oh she too

And if Kirani runs sub 43 next year, I would also add him to my list of drug cheats.

Actually bolt is not the most tested athlete. that honor falls to allyson felix and if i'm not incorrect Gay as well.

right - it is just the eating of yams and drinking of salt water.

which reminds me - since kirani is more of a phenom than bolt and since he too is black and from the caribbean... i think he would be a shoe in for a sub 19.00 in the 200

Dude if you did your research about UWI you would know that your suggestion that it is capable of developing and administering new age doping regimes is laughable at best but I will be sure to share the joke with my friends at Mona.

How is 44.3 by a 19 year old more impressive than 19.19 by a 17 year old, go learn something about the sprints.

Is Wariner included in this sub 44 = dope list.

How convenient that you chose to ignore the rest of my post. Your responses are weak and incorrect. Tyson Gay can barely show up for an event nowadays and he's probably glad he didn't.

Since you claim to compete in the sport, you must have been upset with the Americans during the Balco doping scandal. Why aren't you giving the Jamaicans some credit for actually making T&F popular again? Since all the Jamaicans do is dope, maybe you'd like to explain why the Jamaican youngsters dominate at the Penn relays... drugs from an early age?

Lets talk about why team USA is so weak that they dusted off old doper, Justin Gatlin, and put him back in the mix. He's the kind of guy that makes T&F not worth watching at times.

Until then, the dirty Jamaicans will keep kicking clean-running American ass. Here is an example.

"The Jamaicans dominated in the men's 100m. Usain Bolt, 9.76, crossed the finish line in first place and claimed the world's new leading time. Nesta Carter, 9.89, took second and third went to Lerone Clarke, 10.05. USA's Justin Gatlin placed fourth in 10.12."

Talk about poetic justice.
