[Clifferd]

Due to the Jamaican sprint team disappearing for months on end - no testing - and given the past of athletics, I still have doubts.

But in saying that if he is clean, he is unbelievable - about 4-6 inches to tall, doesn't make sense.

Due to my love of the sport, I want too believe but shit the past just puts the doubts there.

I think he's legit... I think he's just one of those athletes that come along every now and then who are blessed with extremely freakish genetics.

His combination of explosive fast twitch fibres/muscles which all these top sprinters already have combined with his height and very long stride which no top sprinter has... It just gives him a natural edge that no PED can beat...

He's a genetic freak...

Can't wait for the 200m and relay to cement his legacy.

Never mind bolt I've just seen Brandon Starc high jumping, he was a cripple last time I seen him.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Haha I said the same. The brother of Mitchell, I believe.

Aa for Bolt... if he goes 9 for 9; that is, the 100m, 200m & 4x100m 3peat then he'll become the greatest Olympian of all-time IMO.

Well at least the equal of Phelps because Usain simply can't do any more than that.

 

[Twizzle]

thats right, some sports athletes can only do so much, thats why its hard to compare sports

Phelps did it for 4 Olympics, still the greatest on that alone.

No shame being 2nd to Phelps though, although I hate comparing sports. There are others that are up there too, a couple of gymnasts, Steve Redgrave (rowing), etc.

 

[Shorty]

I dont see many people seeing Bolt second to Phelps, only equal or better.

 

[shiznit]

I don't rate Phelps as the greatest... He got beat by Thorpe in Athens...

He's still close to the best... But has anyone beaten Bolt??

Gatlin and Blake in world's.
At an olympics? Not yet.

Nahh I mean at the Olympics... From memory he got beat by van den hooganban(sp?) in the same race too...

 

[Twizzle]

yeh, he came third to Thorpie and Hoogie

 

[hineyrulz]

Yeah Phelps sucks.

It's a shame that drugs have made us question everything, but I guess it will always be like that now. I like to think Bolt is clean, but we'll probably never know. I'm normally not one for conspiracy theories but I'd be willing to bet that even if he tested positive they'd find a way to bury it. He's been too important for the sport, if it ever got out that he wasn't clean, that would pretty much be it for athletics as we know it.
