Ah, I'd forgotten all about this thread.
Bolt did something amazing yesterday. I didn't get to watch (unfortunately the majority wanted to watch the PGA yesterday), and I haven't seen the video yet, but it's already been described to me as "the most powerful sprint ever filmed". Based on the facts that it's the biggest reduction of the 100M since electronic timing started and that he won by over .3, I'll accept that.
What I won't accept is that Bolt is 100% clean. The Jamacians are ahead of the curve with their drug regime. The testing is typically 2 to 3 years behind the drug producers, so assuming that anyone who passes a test is completely clean is just willful ignorance and hopeful thinking. Maybe Bolt is enough of a genetic freak to do this completely unaided, but I have to doubt it.
