I decided to watch some tennis on CBC and they switched it to that about 5 mins in me watching tennis to show it. I can say that I will never regret that, the man is unreal.

Sorry, I'm too captivated by the 300 pound Maori broad on the left.

Look at the triceps on that one. http://hfboards.com/images/smilies/naughty.gif

Wonder what they'll do when they find out he's after figuring out some new drug they can't detect yet..

Sadly, that was my first thought too.

I don't think every race, but before the 100m final at the olympics he had mcnuggets because he didnt want anything to upset his stomach.

Nothing wrong with that. The guy put up the numbers. Time will tell whether he did it the easy way or not. No need to start a witch hunt but there's nothing wrong with being curious. (TWSS)

I'd really like to think he's achieved it all thanks to good genes and hard work, however when sports like athletics or cycling are considered, one can't be too sceptical .. Or baseball, apparently, even if I know fuck all about it.

It's amazing that Asafa Powell who finished third in lane six ran the same time as Donovan Bailey in '96 at Atlanta. That's the difference in world records in 13 years.

They're working on it, but there's a shitload of nuggets out there and who knows which is "the one"?

So, two of Bolt's training partners have been caught now (Blake and now, according to a Swedish newspaper, Daniel Bailey as well). Only a matter of time before Bolt gets caught as well?

Bolt is running the 200m final this afternoon. He holds the WR at 19.30, so what is he gonna run today? ESPN the streak has the prop at 19.33 or faster vs 19.34 or slower...I'm torn on what to pick. I'm leaning towards 19.33 or faster because Bolt may try and break his WR, but I don't know.

The counter argument could be made that Bolt is the most tested person in the sport and is probably being tested at the same time as his training partners are. If her was using the same substances, he would've been caught as well.

The Riders should sign this guy. As a Jamaican I'm sure the cash he could make in the CFL would make his head spin.

Well I'm gonna go with 19.34 or slower. The race starts in about 10 minutes (2:35 EST)

When he's washed up. They need to make millions on him first.

And Bolt runs a 19.20 and breaks the 200m WR. What the fuck was I thinking?!?

Edit: I think it's officially 19.19.

The guy is amazing. Speed and size, almost a head higher than the other guys.

Baily was cleared btw.

That's a valid point too. As I said, I'd like to believe the guy is clean, but just can't help remaining somewhat sceptical.
