phelps has been worldclass for years, bolt had only run the 100m professionaly once before this season and now he is the world record holder and olympic champion. If he's clean, great... but i've been following track for a long time and usually the "out of nowhere" guys test positive at some point or another.
you've been following track for a long time eh?
then you'd know that Usain has been breaking world records since he was 12 years old, smashing youth and junior records, and running sub 20 second 200m times since he was 17? Who, EVER has been so dominant for such a long time, from such a young age?. He first ran a competitive 100m last year to work on his 200m speed and clocked 10.03 seconds. Get that?- ran it for a training run and for the first time competitively- up to that point he was a 200 and 400m runner.
He and his coach decided he'd work on his speed and shape for some more 100s this year and his first one was 9.76s..after less than 6 months working on it.
If YOU were using, wouldnt you make it less obvious?- would you even use if you've won everything from the age of 12 years old?...it just doesnt make any sense at all that this guy's on drugs.
Furthermore he had at least 0.1s up his sleeve, in still conditions..so he couldve ran 9.59s.
Give him the legal 2m/s tail wind and he wouldve gone 9.53s last night.
He's still only 21 years old and most sprinters peak around 30. If he had Tyson Gay's 4m/s wind at his back and ran through last night, he wouldve gone sub 9.5s
It really shits me how people with a little bit of info flap their mouths when they see something unreal because they cant explain it. We've just seen a freak on stage people- lap it up for what it is..incredible.
