The US media believe now, as they did then, that Lewis truly walks on water.
El Pistolero said:Zypherov said:motty89 said:luckyboy said:lmao ITV report on how Bolt is so great. He eats yams and puts in "hard graft". It mentioned that 21/30 fastest 100m times were by dopers.
Conclusion: "Usain Bolt has probably saved the reputation of his sport"
I've just scanned through the top 100m times and it seems the only person not to test positive apart from bolt in the top 50 is maurice greene!
There were doping allegations made against Maurice Greene, which first appeared in the New York Times.
Explosive 'Boldon letter' adds to Greene crisis
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2008/apr/20/ussport.drugsinsport
The author, clearly a sprinter, deals furiously with allegations by Angel Guillermo Heredia, a Mexican former discus thrower, that Greene gave him up to $40,000 for advice, steroid creams, EPO, insulin and stimulants in 2003 and 2004.
In an interview, Ben Johnson once claimed that his best 100 metre time clean was 10.18 seconds. After years of steroid use and heavy training we all know what happened in Seoul. Yes, that now infamous 9.79 seconds in the final.
We have that famous quote from Carl Lewis on Usain Bolt.
Carl Lewis raises doubts over Usain Bolt's record-setting performances
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/athletics/2826070/Carl-Lewis-questions-Usain-Bolts-record-setting-performances.html
"The reality is that if I were running now, and had the performances I had in my past, I would expect them to say something. I wouldn't even be offended at the question. So when people ask me about Bolt, I say he could be the greatest athlete of all-time. But for someone to run 10.03 one year and 9.69 the next, if you don't question that in a sport that has the reputation it has right now, you're a fool. Period."
Carl Lewis is a major hypocrite. Even back in the day he was constantly accusing others who beat him of doping use, while we know now that he tested positive himself 3 times in 1988. He really should shut his mouth.
But, US media, who are the only ones Lewis has ever cared about, still treat him as a Demi-God and rebuff any suggestion at all that he was glowing green even during the 1988 Olympics - even as he heaped scorn on Johnson.
