I think he is on drugs. In fact I think Jamaica as a whole is suspicious. They have come out of nowhere in recent years to dominate world sprinting. Even if bolt tested positive now would they make it public? It would hurt athletics so much that I reackon they would cover it up anyway
Bolt would be tested more than any other athlete. If you're going to set times that quick, then someone is going to check.
Yeh but they would cover it up if his olympic sample comes back positive for example. I think its possible they would anyway. I hope they wouldnt of course. I mean how did jamaica suddenly just appear out of nowhere to win everything in sight?
The drugs are always 1 step ahead. Although at these olympics things change around a bit because I think the testing lab is fully kitted out with the best science gear and they are keeping the samples 6 years I think. Anyway, there is genetic doping too. I doubt that is going on but the science behind it is frightening. We are talking about potential super humans as a result of genetic doping which some believe is already widespread. I was reading about something like 25 times more endurance as a result of genetic doping. The same could be done for speed. Scientists a while ago made a mouse or hamster of soemthing a genetic freak who was able to run 5k metres non stop when the average is something like 180m
But he wasnt the face of the sport. Bolt is. Just imagine the ****storm if bolt was found to be a cheat. The whole sport would be undermined. The whole last 6 years or whatever would be a lie. Johnson is was really just 1 bizaare race that he tainted.
So your saying that ben johnson was in the same level of superstardom as bolt is now? Because I am saying that he wasn't. Not even close.
I'm just saying that when Johnson was caught it created a hell of a scandal.You can never compare today to years ago as we never had 24 hour news,the internet etc etc.If Johnson was running today he'd be as big as Bolt is
He wouldn't because as far as I know he was never THE man. Carl Lewis was. He might be like tyson gay is now perhaps. Either way, yeh it must of been a huge buzz because people still mention it 25 years later all the time. His name is still synonymous with "drug cheat". But I would say if bolt got done it would be EVEN bigger than that. Maybe I am too cynical though. I will count bolt as clean and enjoy watching him and the jamaicans until proven otherwise. I just think its suspicious that the jamaicans have knocked about 0.2 off the world record very quickly and have come from nowhere to absolutely dominate.
Johnson was originally from Jamaica I can remember where i was the day the story broke about Johnson failing a drugs test.I was on holiday with my wife and daughter on the Algarve
Well alot of people with jamaican extract have been successful. No doubt they have the talent to win the 100m but to dominate in such a way? I dunno.
Did you watch that documentary on Chanel 4 a few weeks ago about why black people are such fast riunners
I heard about it. But why are the 3 quickest guys and the quickest women all just from jamaica? And why werent they dominant before the last few years?
Did he run twice last night then ? He must of been ****ing knackered running like that twice in a night
