    If he used a car he'd probably do it even faster.

    It would be great if what Bolt was doing was legit but an example...

    A few years ago there was one Michelle Smith who won golds all around her at the Olympics. Was also the most tested athlete at that games but was always clean.

    We all know what happened after that :rolleyes:

    Just like there would be numerous examples of athletes that performed very well and have been found to be clean till date.

    I think it is quite disingenous to cry Drug Cheat everytime there is an extraordinary performance.It spoils the fun.

    You could alternatively look at it from the perspective that it was what he was born to do.

    I think it's hilarious when, after breaking the world record for the 100m sprint he's jogging along, basking in the glory and the chubby photographers are still belting it along at full speed trying to keep up with him. :)

    We had this discussion on the sports forum...it was classic tbh...the guy looked as if he was going to have an heart attack....and Bolt was basically strolling

    Bolt may have only come to the general public notice with his Olympic achievements but he has been consistently breaking records since he was 14.
    What is happening now is just a continuation of this and with more competition he will almost certainly reduce his world records even further, particularly the 200 metre.

    You are certainly right about the 200 meters but I am so gutted...as it is now confirmed that Tyson gay is out of the 200's because of his groin injury..I felt he had a chance to beat Bolt.
