What Rojo is saying became totally full of shit when Yohan Blake (Bolt's training partner) ran 19.26:

You can't claim to be a once in a lifetime freak of nature when your training partner does the same thing.
And here's Michael Norman running 20.30 at 17 in the California State High School Championships last year:

And in the same meet, he ran 45.19, faster than Bolt has ever run. The weekend before this, he ran 20.39. And the 20.30 was the FOURTH weekend that he ran the 200/400 double. Ask Michael Johnson how easy that is.
Now, Rojo, why don't you show us when you posted about Jamaica being caught redhanded by their own whistleblower not doing any testing (one out of competition test before the last Olympics):

Why do so many folks hold such strong opinions about topics that they have no way of knowing the truth about? Seems odd.

That's how he is faster than 4 other dopers in the top-five all time. That's how his and Nesta Carters performances are the only non-tainted in the top-31 all time.

Is this actually true? Out of everything you argued this would be the one thing that would be triggering alarm bells.
Am I right that the top 31 all time runs have either been run by him or the 4 other runners that doped?

The middle link mis-identifies Nesta Carter as having been caught and banned. He was named to be part of the Powell/Simpson bust when it first emerged, but that was incorrect. The last two lists are different because of the performances that were thrown out with different bans. (I also don't think theya re up to date through summer 2015) Either way, Ben Surin (9.84), Nesta Carter (9.78) and Bolt (9.59) have not been caught or officially implicated.

I see an athlete who started their improvement curve early, and got their peak years around 18-22. I see one who then got frustrated that he wasn't living up to the hype and expectation to keep progressing, and with some insane intervention, arrived on the world scene in a wholly new way.
Another explanation is that from 2004-2007 he was training more for 200-400, then from 2007-2008 focused more on 100-200 and the results improved.
For those who say Bolt is doping - with what?
Lamine Diack should just come clean on whether Bolt has ever been caught doping or not. And also give a list of all those caught doped during his reign as the Iaaf chief and whom he protected. He has nothing to lose and might in fact redeem himself by also revealing all the Iaaf and WADA officials who were part of the cover-up.
logic says doping.
everything seeing in track since ~2005 says likewise.
when igf-1 lr3 hit scene,
sprinting changed
A ducko2022. No dopo effecto.
igf-1 lr3 is so boro
Ridiculo ducko.
2008 - He had already run a 9.72 and 9.76 months before the Olympics
2009 - Already run 9.79 and 19.58 (in a heavy downpour) clearly not trying 100%
2012 - Had already run a 9.76 months before the Olympics
2015 - If by "no time" you mean three months. Plenty of time to get in much better shape since your opener.
i believe hes the male equivelent of marion jones.phenomenally talented at a very young age,but still on drugs,anyway.he developed early and he was his full height at age 15,supposedly.
i agree rojo,he was,and is a freak,one of the most perfect born to run sprinters,ever seen.unfortunatly i also believe hes the male version of marion jones.early developer,jaw droppingly talented from a young age,but like her,on low dose steroids,as an adult.i dont believe hes on anything so potent as ben johnson,flo jo, or the eastern europeans of the 80s,but i do believe hes microdosing,or low dosing.enough to turn him from a 9.8/19.7 to a 9.58/19.18.if there was no such thing as drugs in sport,he'd dominate and win by even bigger distances than he does,but his world records wouldnt be so steep.in a clean major championship,hed win easily,and be the only one running sub 10 seconds/20 seconds.
igf-1 lr3 has changed sprint
17 yr japanese runs ~10
40 yr old runs ~ 10
frequency of fast times different to roid era..
like other teens since,
been on igf-1 all time forcing progression.
then 2007 add in serious steroids/epo and watch out
blake showed tat if able to dope like him can come close even witout height
iaaf choosen ,enabled and aided .set up
Lets just say these "freaks" are actually a combined IAAF, WADA, IOC and some pharmaceutical companies' science projects. Paula Radcliff, Komen, Haile GebrSillasie, Marion Jones, Bolt, Bekele, Genzebe, Kipyegon etc. Many of these athletes may not even be aware but later in their careers or in retirement they develop heart and respiratory problems including asthma. Haile had and Komen too.
Paula Radcliffe was able to run a 2:15:25 world record marathon AFTER the diagnosis of her documented diseases of asthma and anemia.
Paula was able to overcome her weak lungs and weak blood with a very strong mind, superhuman pain tolerance, superhuman dehydration capacity, and running form that was way better (really) than Tirunesh Dibaba.
Paula was "special".
OK?
We know he is doping
How? How do you KNOW he is doping? All of this is speculation and more of you supposed athletics lovers hating on your own sport.

Did you know Paula has the highest pain tolerance of anyone on this planet?
Yes she does. Gerard Hartmann said that it is true.
She can also get more dehydrated than anyone else on this planet.
Well, Hartmann also said that Paula never gets dehydrated - one of her advantages from her scientific approach to races.
So, when Paula was caught in 2003 with her unprecedented and apparently unhuman raise in hemoglobin concentration by 3.6 g/dl within 48 hours, it was not because she raced for 67 minutes in the low 70s and dehydrated by 30%, it was because she was superhuman! This in turn also explains her stellar performances, naturally.
Sorry, typo, meant to write:
...Paula impressed everyone in 2003 with her unprecedented and apparently unhuman raise in hemoglobin concentration by 3.6 g/dl within 48 hours...
