    Bolt, clean hahaha, well maybe now yes i would say that is a 60-70% chance. When he was clocking those records a few years back he was certainly doped up, but the results of those will be out a few years after he retires ala Lewis as the cash has to keep coming in. Gay, Gatlin, Powell and Bolt are not running as fast now as a few years ago...i wonder why?

    Disappointing news to hear Zawraq won't be seen again this season. He will hopefully have a campaign in 2016. It is alway's hard to come back after serious injury and be the same horse so let's hope he does and improves for it even with racing. Weld hasn't had the best run with some of his better horses recently In Free Eagle and Zawraq, he does well like, but these two have got serious problems at crucial stages of their careers. At least the Eagle is back in shape for now and hopefully Zawraq can overcome his issues for next season.

    Wowsers....anyone see the lads 8 team accumulator floating around social media tonight?!! Had 8 teams, of which he had 7 draws which all came up yesterday. The final and 8th result he was waiting for was Real Madrid to win (at 1/5) who of course have just drew 0-0! His €1.50 8 timer was worth over €14,000 if Real had have won.... Done in shop too,so wouldn't have cashed it out <yikes> Feel for that guy, that's beyond cruel that :(

    Just caught the end of the Madrid/Gijon game and what a sickener that would be for the bet. Ouch!!

    Seen a fair bit of chat, there was an offer of €11,000 made on Twitter for it but whether that offer reached him or he accepted it I'd doubt. I'm sure if he had a went in shop to seek a cash out a few hastily made calls could a been made as I'm quite sure Paddy would have happily limited his payout by a few thousand... I never do footy accumulators at all, seeing that I'm not likely to start now!

    I'd imagine he thought he was on a cert there, funny old game as they say. I'm not even sure I'd of taken the 11k to be honest :confused: you would be very confident of Madrid on opening day taking care of business against Gijon.

    I'm not sure it's real why would you back 7 draws on a Saturday and a 1/5 shot on a Sunday night

    Rubbish, a totally cynical view. How the hell do you know that? Unless it is proven otherwise, Usain Bolt is clean as far as I'm concerned, and always was. You cannot tar all athletes with the same brush, that is an injustice.

    Easy to understand where the cynicism comes from but agree with you. For me Bolt is clean, a wonderful freak of nature. 6 foot 5 inch blokes just shouldn't be able to run that fast but he can and does. Interestingly I was reading about an Aussie teenager who is quicker than Bolt was at 14, so maybe the next world beater is not too far away.

    Well let me say I am involved in sport and i know some of the Kenyan athletes, i know which of them are doped and which are not, i would bet all my savings on Bolt being doped when he set those records. It will also come out a few years after he retires. That is what i believe anyways.

    To be fair Oddy his bet was a €1.50 bet. It'd take a fair bit of money on the draw or Gijon to cover €14,000! I hope he made something anyway from old boy Paddy P!
