A CHICAGO sports broadcaster and columnist has all but accused the world's fastest man Usain Bolt of using performance enhancing drugs.



"Anyone wasting words extolling the greatness of Usain Bolt should know better," wrote Dan Bernstein on CBSChicago.com.
"Even the simplest assessment of the circumstances surrounding the explosive success of Jamaican sprinting... sets off alarms."

Bernstein does not allege directly that Bolt is guilty of doping, but points to his training partner and London 100m and 200m silver medallist Yohan Blake, who tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug prior to the 2009 World Championships.

Bernstein also draws a link to a man called Angel Hernandez, a former chemist with the tainted American drug company BALCO, which was found to be manufacturing steroids.

"Bolt reportedly has been working with Angel Hernandez," Bernstein alleges.

Americans = Hypocrites, Carl Lewis, Marion Jones and how long did Flo Jo (Florence Griffith-Joyner) hold her world record for, nothing suss about her either.

Flo Jo's record still stands, and will likely never be broken. The fastest woman in the world in 2012 ran 0.3 seconds slower than Flo Jo did over 20 years ago.

It's laughable that it still stands.

As for this genius, where's his article slamming any praise given to their bronze medal winner, who has actually tested positive to PEDs?

Americans are sore losers and even worse winners. Should come as no surprise that they are throwing the toys out of the pram now that they are being completely dominated by the island nations on the track

So as to not get my post deleted I won't name names but if a certain yank sprinter was not doping I'm not here.

Also all American hero lance Armstrong would rather not contest charges then have the evidence tested in court. Armstrong has strong links with one of the most infamous dope doctors of all time .

Where's the suspicion about Phelps?

Been tested.

Dude is a physical abnormality. Huge lungs, longer than normal arms, huge feet.

He then took that advantage and used it, like no other.

Bolt the same, massive physical advantage, massive stride, good muscle twitch, wonderful balance.

But again, obviously trains hard and has taken his advantage like no other...f**k I hope he long jumps in Rio.

Phelps and Bolt probably have physical eqivalents who chose something else or did nothing with it. Could be doctors, could be bums, could have had no chances to suceed for thousands of reasons.

Not failing a test is not really an indication. Lance passed about 500 an no I mean a current US sprinter. So no names. It's not hard to figure out just by looking at them. There is a lot of hypocrisy around peds tbh. It's a case of boo anyone not from my country. British commentators were being all like this athlete is making a farce of the Olympics when they have plenty of dodgy athletes including one who has failed a test.

The only two that have failed tests were Gatlin from the U.S and Chambers from the U.K, both were banned for a period of time if memory serves me correctly.

If Bolt goes down, my faith in humanity will seriously suffer. He looks like the perfect athlete, so I'm happy to believe he's clean.
