RE: If you think Bolt is on drugs, list it on your resume so I will never hire you

10"03 in 2007 for his first FAT 100m19"75 in 2007I don't know wheter he's clean or not but why are people not getting their fact straight and need to lie, this is not like if his times weren't list on the IAAF website.

He went from running the 100 in around 10.05 to 9.69, & the 200 from 19.91 to 19.3 all from 2007 to 2008. It's up to you to make the call if that looks suspicious. Here's a progression chart.

This is absolutely horrendous logic and everyone knows it, especially you, if you know enough about his specific year bests to post this. He only ran one 100m race in 2007, and it was the first time he had raced 100m since age 14 or thereabouts. For the record, I absolutely think he's dirty. However, I also think that you're an idiot if you believe that his drop in 100m from 07 to 08 shows anything beyond Bolt just getting used to the event.

OK lets say he is a freak and is the outlier and is possible to run that fast.

So lets take a look at your STATISTICS and tell me what the probabiliy out of the 6.9 BILLION people on the plant that 4 of the fastest runners in the history of the world come from a small island about the size of Delaware. Or does Jamican get 4 OUTLIERS.

When the island is the only country in the world that concentrates on T&F the way it does, that probability shoots way up.

Not to nitpick, but at least have the ability to spell the name of the country you're commenting on. And it's around twice the size of Delaware.

Pfffft... I can top that. At the 2012 olympics, he ran the 100m in 9.87 (qualifier) then 9.63 only hours later. Drugs???

Furthermore, he ran 9.58 in August of 2009 which shows a decline compared to 9.63. Of course you won't mention that though.

Bolt is a total fraud. Watch the 2007 world championship 200 where he gets absolutely dusted by Tyson Gay.

One year later he sets world records in the 100 (which he had never had success in previously), the 200, and 4x100.

He's just as suspicious as FloJo, the East Germans, Chinese women, and Italian-coached Kenyans/EPOpians.

If something smells like bullshit it probably is.

Lance Armstrong used because he won seven tours and beat all the drug cheats.

Usain Bolt...oh wait he's faster than all the drug cheats too....

Since 2009, Bolt hasn’t come close to touching any of his records and his performance at the 2012 Olympic Trials (in which he ran a mortal 9.86s in the 100m and 19.83s in the 200m) seemed to indicate that his best times are well behind him.

But that would ignore the entire process of steroid cycling.

As everyone who understands steroids knows, athletes utilize Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) pursuant to a cycle that seeks to slowly elevate testosterone and growth hormone levels (and corresponding to an increase in performance) to a peak that is concurrent with a competition.

First of all Bolt is NOT 200 lbs otherwise his performances were something like 12 sec 100m and 27 200m. He might be 175 lbs.

Seriously. It's called STATISTICS you morons. Eventually, inevitably, undeniably, an outlier comes along that runs as fast as Bolt. Simple as that. Humans are objectively very bad at predicting what real data should look like -- and some of you are so bad at it that you're loudmouthed r e t a r d s.

Get a life.

LOL. You have the authority to make hiring decisions? I highly doubt it.

Agawa's intellectual immaturity is breathtaking.

Have any of you been to Jamaica and understood culturally how their lives in track and field work, especially short sprints ???

Go spend some time there and you will work it out...

Are you seriously saying that it's because of a certain lifestyle? You should let Gay, Gatlin, Bailey, and a bunch of others in on that.

You're aware that he ran 9"76 with a slight headwind before the Olympics this year (and therefore was not so far of his 9"63(+1.5m.s-1))? Accusing Bolt of doping is normal because his performances are ouy of this world but use real facts not nitpicked ones...

Yes.

It is an upbringing on social identity but nothing to do with the local jerk chicken or yam, weather, tracks, coaches or druuugs!

Every lower aged school kid, into high school kid runs track. They idolize the short sprint athletes and everyone wants to be like them. Primary school district results are reported on in the nightly news. The biggest sport event for the year is the Boys and Girls High School Championships - 12-18years televised live on TV where tickets to that event are very hard to get!

There is a cultural identity which funnels all kids through the 100m sieve. They are the best of the best of the best. There are no other sports who take them away. The US college system take the best (or a lot of) power/speed/strength athletes to NBA, NFL, MLB etc.

Trust me, go there and you will see.

Yes!

Just look at this year. He ran 9.8* and 19.8* to be beat by THE BEAST just weeks prior to the Olympics. He gets "injured" skips a meet to go to Germany and comes back to run 9.63 and 19.3*. I think that shows he wasn't injured at all but getting his last hit before Olympics.

He looked dead and tired. Like he couldn't go faster, then after his trip to Germany he gallops his butt across the line with no effort. Wow.

If you have followed the history of sprinting in the last 25 years you will learn the sport has been corrupt for a long time. Read Lord of the Rings not the movie and you will learn just how corrupt the IOC is and all the cover ups that have gone on. Ben Johnson was the fall guy in 1988 but they were all cheating. There is so much evidence of growth hormone use at the Santa Monica track club it is ridiculous (Lewis, Burrell, Flowjoe, Torrence, Deavers,etc.). Bolt is the fastest human ever but if you think he is somehow clean amongst a bunch of dirty teammates think again. Not testing positive for a banned substance is meaningless. Bolt is truly a freak and amazing to watch no matter what but the probability of him being clean is very very small.

Sprinting is almost as dirty as the cycling world.

Accept it,

Big Bang?
