Letsrun.com Continues to Perpetuate Usain Bolt Myths

Translated: I watched some people run as hard as they can for some short distance one time. Therefore I know who is/isn't doping and Bolt isn't doping.

Again, Bolt is never testing positive.

LONDON, June 3 World athletics head Lamine Diack is acutely aware of the need to promote his sport beyond its traditional boundaries and showcase exciting talents such as Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt.

Do you honestly think anyone would test Bolt positive when the former and current head of the IAAF know that Bolt is one of the very few athletes that get any recognition outside a tiny T&F audience?

So, in your opinion Bolt is doped? OK we get that.

Question, how fast do you think he could run undoped?

I'm guessing 9.5

A number of these concepts have discussed. However, many of you are fighting over the height issue. It is a valid argument. Usain Bolt tall. Schippers tall. Fastest white man Christophe L. tall. Previous two men's world record holders in the 110 tall.

The reason you don't see more Bolts in the states is tall kids have way more choices and tons of people pushing fast tall people to football and basketball. More recently at the high school level many of the fastest kids don't even run track instead focusing on main sport like AAU basketball or summer training for football. There is a decreasing number of really talented athletes choosing to do track. Creating a less talented pool of athletes to push down the funnel of the American system.

Yes it must be his height. He's tall and he runs fast. Faster than all the other doped to the gills dopers. Must be his height, cuz he's taller and faster, so taller = faster.

Yes, let's extend this a bit.

If height was a factor, by now, you would have countries fielding taller athletes. Except that didn't happen.

The other example of this is as soon as XY chromosome humans were permitted to run in XX chromosome events, now suddenly there is more than one XY athlete in XX events.

It's not height.

No, of course it's not height pops van schill, it's dope, we all know that. He's got access to better dope. The Jamaicans are protected by the Diack/Coe masterplan cover up.
