I HATE saying this but...
Given the dominance of the Jamacian sprinters in these Games, I find it hard to believe that they're not ALL doping. I think that Bolt might be the exception given that his body type is so different than the prototypicals for his events, but I feel fairly certain that the vast majority of rest are doing something that's probably undetectable at this point.
Any time a country dominates to that extent, something is going on unless there's a cultural reason for it - the West Africans, for instance (running 10 miles a day from age 5 onwards will do that). But I expect that sooner or later we'll see several go down for doping, probably within the next 3 years. And it will tarnish their image.
