No doubt his "back" or "hamstring" will be slightly "off" and he'll take a trip to see ol' Hansie poo who will have him jogging ridiculous times in short notice. Dude is a total fraud. How this behavior isn't deemed suspicious is beyond me.
Suspicious does not equal guilty.
What I saw in that video is that when he sensed someone close to him he pushed it up a step or two for about 10m to make sure he won, and then coasted. Did not look like someone struggling. Looked like someone in training.

His run in Jamaica looked better.
38 days to Worlds. Is he vulnerable?
Key word.................June.
Bolt wins when it counts. He has looked ragged in the past only to come out on top in the finals. Nothing to see here.
Yes, he is vulnerable this year.
I say that for the others in the final they just have to keep their head and run 9.8 to beat him this year. Be nice for him to get beat and dispatch this silly little fairy tale.
he's going to his doctor again prior to a major championships
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/athletics/2017/06/28/usain-bolt-insists-should-fine-london-unconvincing-win-weak/I never worry. I just need to go to the doctor [former Bayern Munich doctor Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt] and get everything checked out to make sure it is smooth,†Bolt said.
I agree with those that think he was just coasting and will be fine. The tight hamstrings and back are likely just that, tight, not a long term issue. Maybe it was my perception because others were close to him which is rare but I thought he looked a little thicker/heavier than normal. If so, this could cause the tightness and sluggish top end speed.
Why are his arms so defined?
Yea he wasnt at his best
1. This race was set up for him to look good in as a 9.90 would have been a dramatic visual effect. A 10.00 against that level of competition wasn't what they were going for it..in the words of #45 "you can believe that"
2. A lot of "wobbling" in his stride, he didn't look comfortable at all coming out the blocks or during his drive phase. The race was won by his strength conditioning and not speed. 32 days til worlds so i'm sure they are doing a lot of fast short work with a lot of rest. He can not afford an injury at this time though
3. He has a noticeable strut (as do most sprinters) but he appeared to be favoring his hip and hamstrings as he walked away after the race
unbelievable.Every time Bolt finds an excuse to miss a bunch of meets or runs slower than expected and he goes to his doctor in Germany, he comes back and miraculously runs like .2 faster.2008, he goes 9.69 with no form and backwards leaning like a goofball.2009, he claims to have ongoing injuries from a car accident, goes to his doctor in Germany, comes back, and runs 9.58 and 19.19.2012, he struggles to a 9.8-high in the Jamaican trials and loses to Blake, claims a hamstring injury, disappears for a while, and comes back looking much bigger and stronger and runs 9.63 and 19.32.2015, he goes from 10.1x to 9.8x in no time, and wins in Beijing.Same last year before RioNow he'll do it again. I wanna believe he can get in shape fast the last few weeks, but it's becoming laughable.why does he need to go see his doctor......?

Maybe, like he says, his back tightens up with hard training, and the doc gets him moving freely again.
Have you ever had a persistent bad back? You cannot move as freely or run as fast. And sometimes rest and stretching just doesn't shift it. Only, with me it's more 1 minute per mile rather than 0.2sec per 100m.

Why isn't he focusing on the 200 instead of the 100?
2 words: van Niekerk
I think Degrasse will simply steal the crown from him at Worlds, not inherit it. Bolt did look off, but more to the point, more than he ever has before. Just age ,competition and partying will do that to anyone clean. He has been incrementally slowing down every year ,world records/all- time list stuff is behind him I believe. If you guys think Bolt is saving a 9.7 for worlds ,think again .
Degrasse already is on his way to a fantastic performance at 100...predict will run 9.7low winning over a Bolt who lets up at the line and gives up the silver more than likely. As someone who has won everything he will be less than graceful in defeat.
Watch.
After a year of going to night clubs and eating McDonald's he wins his rust-buster race in 10-flat into wind with a bad start .... and that's supposed to be an indication that he's vulnerable? Makes no sense.

This
It's like he doesn't even try to hide that he's up to some very shady business - Bolt is invincible because he's so important to the sport and he knows it
It's almost like pro wrestling at this point - no one knows for sure Bolt's cheating but all the circumstances point that way every time every year
But who are we kidding, the whole sport of track and field is highly suspect and I'm sure most of competitors are doing exactly what he's doing, doping or not, so the playing field is still even
