Here is the 200m world champ final of 2007.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kr_XJ9XMbM Bolt way ahead of Gay, but Gay absolutely smokes him from there. Bolt no stamina at all. This is just a year before Bolt smashed 100m/200m world records. No one has improved that fast in such a short time in history. Also Bolt not improved at all from 2008/9. Most sprinters don't peak until mid 20's/30. But Bolt just stalled/gone backwards since he was 22/23? On the otherhand we are lead to believe that Justin Gatlin is now running as fast CLEAN in his 30's than when he was drugged up to the gills in his mid 20's  |

so fred is bolt doped in your opinion?
|
|
By:
They say Bolt is the most tested sportsperson in the world, and intend the keep the samples for 10 years. So it would be foolish for him to dope knowing that eventually he will get caught.
His body language and his manner does not strike as person who is doping. I kind of had my suspicion on Gay and Asafa Powell. |

Is there something to back that up ? I think Michael Johnson's improvement between 1995/6 was very similar. |

You always had your suspicions about Gay and Powell, yet they probably passed more tests in their career than Bolt before they were caught IF Bolt is doping find it very hard to believe they will ever out him, the damage to the sport would irreparable imo |

This is good. This will put a stop to anybody EVER cheating again in the 100m. Well done governing body!
|
|
By:
Why do you think so many failed tests are covered up then over the years?
|
|
By:
Probably you are right Fred, but to me he seems at peace with himself, not trying to prove anything to anybody just competing, win and have good time afterward.
Don't assume all of them are doping because of the past result. |
|
By:
He's been found guilty. You then sentence accordingly/ One year? Are you kidding?
|
|
By:
Agree Cobblaz, he should be banned for life.
|
|
By:
it's all rather depressing. 1988 when Ben Johnson got done. 26 years later, we're no further along
|
|
By:
Cobblaz, how many cheats you reckon are in any race today(percentage wise)?
I reckon they are fewer today than 26 years ago. What do you think? |
|
By:
Who cares?
One is enough. |
|
By:
No organisation / sport can completely get rid of all the cheats, the best they can do is get numbers down.
|
|
By:
Exactly, which is why would be a shock if Bolt was ever outed.
|
|
By:
If Armstrong was outed, i don't think it will difficult to out Bolt if he was cheat. But don't forget most sportspersons are fair and clean in any sport. Those who cheats are in the minority.
|
|
By:
Was Armstrong outed? They knew he was doping for years while competing and did nothing.
|
|
By:
Fred we got to keep our trust that sportsmen and women compete without enhancing drugs and in fair fashion(until proven guilty) otherwise there will be no point to watch any sports.
