Bolt won the 2002 Junior WC in the 200M, which is where someone with is body type is more prototypically successful. He's the tallest world record holder in the 100M by 2" (Carl Lewis). There's also quite a bit of rumor floating around the Jamacian team since they set so many records in Beijing. There's a conventional wisdom theory floating around that says that some of the lower echelon (i.e. not the medalists) are going to start testing positive soon since they're less likely to stay on the cutting edge and that the testing will catch up to them.
Like I said, I go back and forth on Lance. There's evidence both ways. Again as I said, my pendulumn has swung to "clean" for now. We'll see if it stays there. It rarely does for folks with as many suspicions cast upon him.
