    Froaenla wroWitte:

    I say he doesn’t run faster with PED use but would have maybe been a bit quicker in 2017.

    the peds allow you to train harder and resist fatigue/injury. Bolt wasn’t much of a workhorse nor sustained many injuries so I doubt the peds would have helped him much if at all

    Every once in awhile somebody unique shows up, a Jim Brown, Wilt Chamberlain, Muhammad Ali, Usain Bolt. They are not the norm and don't play by norm rules. Bolt at 6-5 having that 400m ability at an early age spenting years training as a 200m man simply had a unique level of speed endurance, something unseen at 100m.

    No PEDS for this guys.

    re: usaindolt3

    I built a house in May Pen in the 90s. Several of the guys that worked for me slept OUTSIDE, as in, were homeless. One guy they all looked up to once invited me to his place for a fish dinner. It was literally a corrugated tin shack without running water. But he was considered a success by the other guys. Most Jamaicans are very, very poor. The country being mostly corrupted doesn’t help.

    To a 15 year old Jamaican sprinter… take this little shot and you and your entire family have an excellent chance of being richer than you could possibly imagine. Same reason why East Africans do it. The few that don’t you never hear about… because they can’t compete.

    9.35? 9.28? He really could have pushed barriers had he doped like his compatriots (who still ran slower.)

    Anyone who thinks any sprint WR holder in the last four decades was completely clean, you are much much more likely to be wrong than right.

    Sport exists because there is a big market for people wanting to be entertained with astounding athletic feats; everything else follows from there.
