Why Usain and not Phelps???

[aliamini]

Usain was tested couple of days ago in China … He trains in California and haven’t been to Jamaica since over 2 years

A lot of accusations and fingers are pointed towards him … all of that for a gold medal??? No one focused on testing Phelps who won 7 … a lot of the sports channels are talking about  USA’a influence on the OC and WADA … and that Beijing is doing the states a favor to get a positive political reply

 

[Relentless]

Of course the Americans get preferential treatment...since when is this news?  Carl Lewis should not have been given the Gold Medal back in Seoul in '88 for failing a drug test.

One is named Michael, the other one Usain... Guess who they test lol.

[QuakerOats]

sprinting has more of a stigma and history as it relates to drugs than swimming does.

PHelps is on something.
I don't know what,
but 12,000 calories a day?

Construction workers don't even eat that
and they haul more metal than phelps does swimming

BOLT AND PHELPS BOTH USE PED.

[240 is Back]

Phelps was talking about his testing on NBC.  They test him almost every day, he said.

Perhaps this particular media article talked about Bolt, who came out of nowhere, while phelps has been olympia quality for 5 years now.  And phelps is a hero here, so a media article on that woulnd't be popular or good for ratings.

they're both getting tested.  they're both beating tests.  they're both on GH.

[disco_stu]

once again we have a bunch of people who dont know shit making comments on sports they dont have a clue about.

Bolt has been around for 9 years in the world's focus. He has been tested 32 times in the last 3 months...that's right, 32 times.

He's smashed just about every 200m and 400m jamaican record since the under 13s, and won the world junior 200m title in 2002 when he was 15 years old.

hes been tested, and re-tested, and spent most of his years training on grass in jamaica.

His diet for the 100m has been chicken nuggets and diet pepsi. I've said it before and now again..if you win everything, why use drugs?..

that's usain bolt..and up to this point, asafa powell. The other thing is that if any Jamaican got word of either of these guys cheating, they would be lynched and wouldnt be allowed back to their own country- such is the pride and revere they have.

sport for them is a past-time..they do it for a laugh...to have fun and mix with friends. its a way of life in jamaica.

why you US clowns have to taint everything pure is beyond me. its obviously jealousy. Even that I dont get. Why wouldnt anyone get a kick out of knowing that some human can run that fast?- irrespective of where they come from?

this is an extension of why the rest of the world cant stand the average american joe. cos, frankly, he's a complete tool with no brains.

[Ex Coelis]

I'd rather watch track than swimming

How do you know that.  Quit thinking.

[Van_Bilderass]

Yes, Track & Field is so pure Bolt has to be tested 32 times in three months in order to "prove" to the general public that he really is clean.

Come on now, why is he tested so often? Because Track & Field has a shit reputation wrt doping. People have a hard time believing, rightfully, that any one of them is clean. Due to the history of the sport.

sport for them is a past-time..they do it for a laugh...to have fun and mix with friends. its a way of life in jamaica.

Why did he come to the states to train then, if sports is just something he does for a laugh?

[aliamini]

sports channels ... which is teh single source of information at this point

[The Coach]

"All that for a gold metal" Are you flippin serious? Do you understand the significance of winning even one gold metal and to top it off have a world record attached to it?

[BIG ACH]

ABC news reported last night thats Mike Phelps Speedo contract has increased by 1 Million Dollars because of his performance at the Olympics thus far, and they're not over yet!!!


I love all the know it all's that think they know everything about competitive swimming and how they train and eat when they probably never even set foot in the kiddies pool!

Bolt had been tested the most out of any athletes media reports say, bar none. They've been testing the guy daily since he arrived. Same with the other Jamaican sprinters, male and female. The IOC says they specifically targeted them. Nothing new.

Don't know why poeple keep saying he came out of nowhere? He didn't. Normally as we are tiny the Caribbean is a flop yes in sporting, but as far as sprinting we are strong so the sprinting competitions down here are fierce - and he has been dominating inter-Caribbean competitions for like a decade, even the kiddy ones. People just think as he is new to Olympics he is 'out of nowhere' - guy has been running forever, and running Olympic level times as well.

That is true … and I heard Jamaican officials are complaining about the consecutive testing and major focus on their athletes
