Bolt Stripped of 2008 gold medal due to teammate doping. Thoughts?

And so it begins.

Just like Michael Johnson had to give back a gold because of a relay teammate.

You don't need drugs to be the best.

You only need drugs to make the relay team.

Congratulations to two-time Olympic 4x100m silver medalists Japan.

If you have one doping member there was probably two and if two were doping there was probably three and if three were doping...well you can probably see the pattern.

Ya and pigs fly

its the truth 4 real wrote:

Usain Bolt will have to hand back one of his nine Olympic gold medals after Jamaican team-mate Nesta Carter tested positive for a banned substance.

He has to "hand back" the medal? Where will this take place? Seems like an extraordinary and unnecessary step in the process.

Now that only puts him 15 Golds behind Michael Phelps.

^This proves that Canova is right: doping only helps the weak athletes to get slightly less weak.

Makes no sense to dope the stars who are winning already, very very clean.

This is the Nesta Carter story- Bolt is part of the collateral damage

Is Usain Bolt on Steroids?

https://web.archive.org/web/20150905165210/http://www.muscleweek.com/is-usain-bolt-on-steroids

Excerpts from article:

“Bolt’s Coach is more of a Chemist than a Coach

According to the New York Times, Usain Bolt’s track coach Angel Hernandez has referred to himself as a chemist, scientist and nutritionist.”

“Here’s more from Usain’s ‘coach’ explaining his precise skill set as it applies to ‘coaching’ in that 2008 interview:

SPIEGEL: So you became a therapist for the athletes in matters of drugs?

Heredia: More like a coach. Together we found out what was good for which body and what the decomposition times were. I designed schedules for cocktails and regimens that depended on the money the athletes offered me. Street drugs for little money, designer drugs for tens of thousands. Usually I sent the drugs by mail, but sometimes the athletes came to me.”

Usain Bolt Is Probably Doping (And You Know It)

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/08/12/bernstein-usain-bolt-is-probably-doping-and-you-know-it/

Excerpts from article:

“When people ask me about Bolt, I say he could be the greatest athlete of all time,” Carl Lewis told the Times of London. “But for someone to run 10.03 one year and 9.69 the next, if you don’t question that in a sport that has the reputation it has right now, you’re a fool. Period.”

“Anyone wasting words extolling the greatness of Usain Bolt should know better.”

Is Usain Bolt clean?

Excerpt from article:

“JADCO, the Jamaican anti-doping agency, should be placed under heavy scrutiny, their out of competition testing methods and practises have been heavily criticised by the World anti-doping agency . . . As well as the aforementioned Blake and Powell other Jamaican athletes to fail drug controls in recent years have included two time Olympic champion Veronica Campbell-Brown and at the same Jamaican trials which Asafa Powell tested positive Sherone Simpson also fell foul of the doping controls.”

Victor Conte claims many athletes used performance-enhancing drugs in preparation for 2012 London Olympics

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/i-team/victor-conte-claims-athletes-performance-enhancing-drugs-preparation-2012-london-olympics-article-1.1134190

Excerpt from article:

“Bolt, meanwhile, has worked recently with Angel Hernandez, the trainer formerly known as Angel (Memo) Heredia. Hernandez testified during Graham’s 2008 trial that he provided banned substances to disgraced Olympians Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery and other athletes. In a 2008 interview with The New York Times, Hernandez acknowledged that he had helped clients use performance-enhancing drugs and avoid detection.”

You figure out the formula weight.

Notice how Jamaica isn't as all dominant in the men's sprints as before-some of their younger sprinters haven't maintained their early "momentum"...jus'sayin'
