Lance Armstrong taught me that if you are dominating a sport where everyone else is clearly cheating, you are just
Cheating better than they are.
Lance Armstrong. Usain Bolt. Alabama/Clemson. All cheating.

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?

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

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

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".

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

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

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 exactly. Stealing has victims. If everyone is truly cheating

I used to think he wasn't. Then I saw a list of the fastest 100 M times ever run
Iman23

He’s built like no other sprinter ever
Coop

His unique physical build is what sets him apart IMO.

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

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

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

But that’s not your argument
redraider88

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

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.
