I think Usain Bolt was cheating the whole time.

I have been saying that for years. It's so blatantly obvious.

What makes you think, in a sport marred with cheating, that the fastest person was cheating?

Skeeziks

That's the conundrum, right? When steroid use is so widespread that it's

I agree. It has a very Lance Armstrong feel to things.

Lance Armstrong taught me that if you are dominating a sport where everyone else is clearly cheating, you are just

I don’t think they’re better at cheating, I just think they’re better. Cheating just sets the baseline. Talent wins out

Odysseus

I think you’re wrong. There’s a certain level of talent and drive you need to win a sport where everyone else is

I don't think he's saying they are not cheating, he's saying that they are

In my mind, "better at cheating" means "better at not getting caught".

dilbert

I don't think that everyone gets the same boost by doing the same thing. Just

cougaman

12/18/20 8:43am

Yes. I don’t think Bolt has some magical cheating formula. His cheating is probably on par with the competition, and

Actually this is not true....

mbcougar

That’s a good point, and kind of what I’m saying. The level of cheating is probably around the same, just like the level

Not because of doping. Bionic implants. Its been a growing problem in sports

If everyone is cheating, then no one is

That’s like saying everyone is stealing so its not a crime

BYU Grounds

Not exactly. Stealing has victims. If everyone is truly cheating

The victims are those who are not cheating and would be able to make the

But the premise was "everyone is cheating" so noone is not cheating.

Well, I guess in a hypothetical with 100% of the population doping

Coop

I used to think he wasn't. Then I saw a list of the fastest 100 M times ever run

Iman23

12/18/20 7:27am

He’s built like no other sprinter ever

Coop

12/18/20 7:41am

His unique physical build is what sets him apart IMO.

Adwight

12/18/20 7:50am

Possibly, but it doesn't fully explain his level of dominance.

IrishBlue

12/18/20 8:20am

Is your assertion that tall people haven't been sprinters before and he is

RexIdaCoug

12/18/20 10:08am

In no way, shape, or form was he an “average” junior runner.

redraider88

12/18/20 7:48am

200M has always been his better event because of his churn. 100M came later

Iman23

12/18/20 8:13am

But that’s not your argument

redraider88

12/18/20 8:24am

It was part of my argument. Was he an elite 100 M runner? No. Was he an elite

Coop

It is a dated article. I don't know why the OP was made, but this article does hint that Bolt may have been doping.

SpiffCoug

It’s not about who is cheating

RC Vikings

Probably not. PED advancements will take him down in the next decade

Great movie. Would have been interesting had the main guy been 10 years younger.

He makes a point to say that no matter how much steroid use he used, he wouldn't

The entire Jamaican sprinting contingent is cheating.
