Is Usain Bolt clean?

I'm going to quote you again because what else is there to read into your comment other race being an issue?


How on earth is that to do with race? he has picked another athlete who is destroying all around him, thats all.
 
Seen as Morba brought it up Ill male a comment about blocks and the start.

If you watch Bolt's start in a head on camera view, look at his feet when he sets off. He seems to jump off the blocks, his right foot goes down and his left foot hits the floor at an odd angle at nearly the same time and then he flys off. I've never seen anyone do that so it looks like he doesn't even get a perfect start or regular start and he could have got a faster time.


If this guy is clean (I hope he is) and actually bothers to run the fastest he can its going to be insane. I don't think even Gay on über 'roids could catch him.

He said that he felt he could get a WR after he done the semi. He didn't even try for squat in the semis so I think even over the first 80 in the final he was trying his hardet, seen as he felt he could win and get the WR after the semi with the run he did.

Yeh, he is a slow starter, can see it in all his starts. makes the 50m when he gets up even more spectacular
 
200m is going to be very interesting to see what his time over the first 100 will be. Its going to be something silly like 9.6, and then the last 50 the will prolly run backwards.

It is going to be very interesting, he doesnt look tired over 100m so another 100 at a similar speed could be possible?

He did 19.67 with a .5 head wind in July.


If you take todays time, factor in the fact there was no wind and that he wasnt really trying I think he could easily wreak Johnson's record.
 
Taken from his Wiki page

Two hours after breaking the world record at the Beijing Summer Olympics Bolt's agent recieved a phonecall from the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, a professional (american) football team who currently play as past of the USA's National Football Team. The phonecall is said to have offered Bolt a place in the team as starting Running Back.



He must be then, any sprinter who is on drugs gets asked to play in the NFL. :D ;)


Lol of all the teams they chose the Vikings. If you're gonna try and fake something, get the spelling correct and do some research. The Vikes have AP at RB. :p

The 2nd 100m is faster than the first, or at least that is how johnson set the 19.32s. However i doubt that Bolt will do anything like 9.7 over the first 100m as he will probably fade on the straight.
As for the question, if he is at it they probably all are at it...
 
I'd also like to point out that the last olympic champion over 100m was cheating, as were Tim Montgomerie, Marion Jones, Linford Christie, Merlene Ottey, Ben Johnson, Dennis Mitchel, Kelly White etc.....
What happened with Christie? I heard he'd been tested positive for some drug or other (THG?) but didn't think anything had been proven. Is he "legally" clean but actually a bit tainted now?

And carl lewis..
Eh!? Wasn't aware of any drug-taking issues with Lewis?

Once upon a time they said that breaking the 4 minute mile wasn't humanly possible. We've knocked more than a few seconds off that one.

Once upon a time people said that if you did a breath hold dive to greater than 30m your lungs would collapse.

Records fall, quite spectacularly sometimes.

Yes, but there has to be a limit at some point, or eventually we'll be running the 100m in 2 seconds.

As for Bolt, yes I think he's clean, mainly because I think the Jamaican "laid-back" attitude is the very antithesis of the "win at all costs" culture of larger countries like the USA and China which, IMHO, fuels the taking of banned substances to achieve that goal.
