I told you he said on interview he wont do 200m cause he got a bad bend and usually got injured racing 200m(indeed he does the last leg on jamaican relay for this reason)
the only thing asafa has going for him is his start, you could tell usain was going so much faster towards the end because it took him nearly 40 or so meters to slow down(also his height would make it take longer obviously)
@87PowerMan yes really. In fact watch the video again, the first thirty meters powell gets out front because he is a better trained and performing starter, maybe even just naturally quicker, but once 40 metters is hit, bolt slowly catches right back up, almost winning. Therefore bolt is FASTER than powell, maybe not quicker but FASTER. his speed overall is the fastest a human has ever been able to achieve, at least in organized olympic settings anyway
I am so rich I held a private event for Asafa and Usain, I saw Asafa beat Usain myself, then Asafa told me in private he felt bad for beating him so he would let him win next time - thats the truth
dudes this is way before olympics and bolt used to have crap starts now he is better then usain by heaps because he got the world record while jogging the last 20m
stavrosdemetriou this proves nothing, what proves bolt is better is the fact bolt runs better tuimes than powell and that usain holds the world record the person to nearest to competing with bolt is gay ! never mind the conspiracy of usain bolt being on drugs you my friend are on drugs !
bud...you dont know anything do you...this was over a year ago...bolt has the world record 9.58, broke it a few days ago, blew away powell, usain bolt is faster than anybody right now...simple
For Powell to ever have a realistic chance to beat Bolt now he would have to seriously train for the 200 and run the 200 seriously without complaining about the work. It would greatly help his maintain phase which when compared to Bolt, Gay, Gatlin, Green, Bailey. Powells maintain phase sucks. Its why yguys catch up to him or pass him in the last 30 Powell once eased to a 19.90 in the 200. If he ever wants to get back on top he will have to run the 2 seriously to help his maintain for the 100.
at the start powels got shorter legs so hes got the best start the bolts legs get into gear and he is flying his leg span in twice the normal sprinters average
The reason y Powell would never beat Usain again is beacuase Usain start has gotten alot better since this race...as u can see here, Powell had a huge lead off the blocks. but if u go look at the Olympics Usain had a better start and he got out wit everyone in the race
American and east german/communist athletes have hurt the credibility of our sports but the world can be assured that Usain Bolt is superclean and supertalented..supergreat.
America is probably the wickedest and most dishonest sporting nation ever and its that same evil intention why they cast doubt over those who dominate them cleanly.
The americans should be ashamed of themselves for doubting others..given their own history.
It will be impossible now for anyone in the world to perform and win without a cloud hanging over their heads. You people just need to shut the hell up and let these athletes be, until proven other wise.
I would like to think that their is still some good, hard working honest people in this world. Let God be the judge. It's so unfair that the Jamaicans were tested some 4times before even hitting the track. Usian, Asafa, Sherone. The biggest US is the biggest hypocriticla country in the world
Just look at their whole election process hypocrits. Tell Obama he lacks experience to be president then turn around and select an someone with even less experience. Ok so what she held down some little Mayor job for couple of years, Governor for less than 2 years, her town is less than 7,000 people.
Point is stop judging everyone on the grounds that if you perform well you must be on drugs. All of them are innocent until proven guilty or exposed.
Just because athletes from the US were doping for the last 2,3 Olympics doesn't necessarily mean everyone is. The US athletes were doing it because they had the help of a "genius" chemist, by way of "The Clear". If Bolt is cheating, then he's been doing so since he was a young teen; He is the youngest person to win the JUNIOR wold championship. the fact that he is now a world champ comes as no surprise. It's that he's done so at the 100 which is alarming.
come on men losers,if bolt and phelps is on drugs,it would long have hit the headline NEWS oreadi.fancy having ppl to log in to youtube and learn abt it
empirical evidence determines human knowledge what else could do so? ohhhh I dunno how about hard evidence and direct links.. not guesses and indirect links? common sense? yeah
You can't just assume people are guilty, I am really glad you are no the police or the whole world would be in jail
Ps. his breaking of the world record in the 200m, that is the first race he ran all the way to the line, every other race he was saving himself, that right there explains it
HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU SAY EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE IS ALL THAT MATTERS!?!?!
NO!!!! Hard Evidence is all that matters, empirical evidence is a fancy name for a guess!
Clean people will break 9.69, because it's all mental! now that we understand it can be done, many people will do it, you would understand if you were an athlete capable of competing at a high level
If it's impossible to be this much better than the rest of the field... Tiger, Jordan, Gretzky,Phelps, must all be doping too right? IDIOT!
you just don't get it, you can only achieve higher if you believe it's possible, and that's one reason people improve, now that the world knows breaking 9.7 is possible there will be more sprinters that do this in the next year.
also, when ben johnson ran he had hard powerful strides, it would make sense he was doping, but Bolt used long, fast strides.
btw. you should look at the progress he made from 15-16-17. was he doping then too
why can't you accept that some people are just spectacular athelete? bolt has put in some hard work and he is just fast. you need to learn to assume people are innocent until we prove them guilty.
Michael Phelps won 8 gold's is he doping too? EVEN THOUGH he has actually volunteered for new drug tests?
anyone who runs under 9.9 is doping? you are really stupid
donovan bailey ran a clean 9.84 8 years ago. why is it so hard to believe that bolt did 9.69?
Lol do you not know that human physical capacity does not increase in a linear fashion in the short term? This means that anyone running 9.6/7/8 or 19.3-7 is, statistically/logically a practical certainty to be one drugs.
We've seen this before in funks over Johnson, Lewis, Christie, Greene, Gatlin... People need to step back and question these performances rationally, because they are impossible, by any normal definition of the word.
Well of course not. But the fact remains that Man does not get magically quicker every year. When it does happen, the only possible explanation is an external stimulus; the only external stimulus is drugs.
It doesnt matter at all, and the comment entirely misses the point. Man does not magically get quicker every year, unless there is an external stimulant aiding him. Is there a new record for world's tallest man every year? of course not.
The specifics of your point are wrong as well since these guys are not doping during the Games, rather in the off season, which is the point.
You cannot break your PB by 0,5 seconds in 1 race and expect to be taken seriously.
1. Bolt does not even give 100% every race, you would have to assume that he does, but since he set a world record without his shoe being tied about, and letting up the last 10 metres, I think it's safe to say he doesn't
2. he JUST started training for the 100m, which means he will get much better, much faster
3. he didnt break his PB by 0.5 (half a second) anyways, so learn your shit before you distort your grade 8 facts to us asshole.
1. Your 1st point is completely unsubstantiated, so ill just assume u dont mean it seriously
2. This will just increase the possibilities for him being doped, based on the statistical reasoning I have given earlier. think about that, then respond.
3. Your right, 0,36 in the 200m. In 1 race. I dont think anyone sensible is going to take such performances seriously.
Response to point 3: Well the whole world has taken him seriously, and he has proved that he is better than ANY other man at covering both 100 and 200 metres because the computers indicate this.
1. Your initial point is still unsubstantiated. I will leave you to work out how it is and fix it.
2. Very good. So this means that all human knowledge can be discounted, because it is ipso facto wrong. But then that is knowledge, so that would be wrong... but then... In any case, your reasoning is down the pan, since empirical evidence is all that matters in sensible debate.
3. Im talking about the 200m.
You forgot Mo Greene and Justin Gatlin. They also redefined what is possible, remember?
2. I dont know why I bother replying to such cretinism. The limits of human knowledge are set by empirical evidence. How can you even imagine the contrary? What else could do so, mysticism??
3. Thats not the point. The point is he was on drugs. I suggest you google Angel Heredia.
4. I am saying that it is almost certain he is guilty. This is based on empiricl evidence. You can rely on mysticism and blind faith all you like.
Obviously!!! and more than that, every athlete that has significantly improved over time is on drugs. Every athlete in any sport who is much better than competition is on drugs. Every athlete who achieves significant PB's is on drugs.
Hard work, focus and preperation are mute points, because the only thing we consider in this world is empirical evidence (a fancy name for a guess ).
....ya I think he is fighting a losing battle ...
No, let me repeat my point for the millionth time: since human physical capacity does not increase in a linear manner in the short term, and the 100m has kept on being broken yr after yr, Bolt is almost certain to be on drugs.
you act like past sprinters have already reached this human physical capacity that you speak of... for all we know the human body can do this even faster.
the limits of the human body are not increasing... these men, like Bolt, are increasing towards the limit.
plus i would have to agree with what junker8 has posted. competition in any sense is all mental; of course this something you know absolutely nothing about
OK, I was going to say your dumb but that would be rude. You're just making uneducated assumptions. First of all, Bolt is 6'5. If you can move as quickly as someone 3,4,5" shorter you will cover the distance in less time due to the longer stride. Bolt has gotten better due to a great improvement in his starting time. Look at his stockholm clip. Awful start, good finish, 2nd place. Secondly, they were tested repeatedly for this olympics, especially in light of previous infractions (mainly US)
6ft 5 people have existed in the past, and they havent jogged a 9,69. Its just a stupid argument; please think through before replying to me again.
Testing means nothing, except that people who test +ve are doped. I believe Marion Jones still hasnt had a +ve test, ditto Montgomery and Greene. Does this mean they are not doped? Of course not. So this is just not an argument that can be made seriously.
Seriously, that is an extremely weak rebuttal. You are aware that the average human has grown considerably in the last century alone right? Comparatively, someone 6'5 in the 1920s, 30s would be considered a behemoth then. Someone 6'5 today is more likely to be a lot more agile than before. Even the 7 fters are more agile than 30 years ago. You are aware of the vast improvements in weight/physical training, yes? And your statement about Marion Jones and Montgomery is inaccurate.
Montgomery was busted a long time ago. And the clear was previously untraceable because of the genius of the chemist behind it. You're not gonna find something you're not looking for if you have no clue what it is or of its existence. Pertaining to Bolt, he must have been doping at 16 also when he was running 20.XX in the 200m. If an athlete doesn't improve b/w high school and "sub-pro" with significant increase in training something is wrong (or he/she has possilby plateaued). Google News Bolt
Finally, I'm not going to go on record and make claims that Jamaican athletes never dope (as I have seen in this thread). For one, Ben Johnson was a native of Jamaica. And I will not outright dismiss the possibilty that Bolt is roided. Because that would foolish much like your proposition that he definitely is as if it is fact. Michael Johnson set a record no one thought would be broken any time soon in the age of doping. Does that mean he is a guilty party as well? Answer: Who knows.
Based on your arguments, you can't conclude that he's on drugs. It's true that the human physical capacity doesn't increase in a linear manner in the short term. But bolt does not present the whole human capacity: he's just an amazing talent who runs terribly quickly. He's an uniquely talented guy and I don't think other sprinters will beat his time for the next 20 years.. Think about it
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I said that he is almost certainly on drugs. Given that almost every increase in physicla capacity over 100m in the last 20 yrs has been drug abetted, the argument would have to be that he has improved- drastically- on drug fuelled human capacity, but naturally. Think about that; Its nonsense. Man doesnt get faster every year- and he certainly does not get faster than his top drug assisted speed every year. Its logic. What is your basis for concluding that he is not drugged?
Your logica doens't make sense: "Because other sprinters are ond drugs, he must be too!" And secondly, he was running 20.60 as a 15-year old. Since then, he only shaved off 1.3 second of his PB during those 7 years. It's a realistic progression. And I agree on the fact that many (especially american) sprinters are on drugs: running WR out of nowhere. Bolt however has always run fast his whole life. So dont ask me why he's NOT drugged. And since he's always tested negative, why IS he drugged?
I never said he must be- hence why you cannot make sense of the logic. 20.6 as a 15 yr old is meaningless- Mark Lewis Francis ran, effectively 9.97 as an 18 yr old, and where is he now? ditto Darrel Brown, Dwain Chambers etc. 1.3 is a huge amount in sprinting terms.
in a nutshell, given thatt most, if not all sub 9,9ers have been doped, when someone jogs 9.69, and in the absence of an effective drug testing system, the conclusion must be that he is almost certainly doped.
mjd...he supposively jogged 9.69 at the olympics which has one of the best drug test systems...Bolt and Phelps were the two most tested athletes at the olympics....everyone that cheated got caught...he didnt...at least not yet...so we must say for someone who is so fast now and was so fast as a 15yr old has to be genetics not drugs...i mean in that case every world class sprinter now like Gay who run such great times are all doped cause they ran great times in high school and college too
I feel that Powell has the best movement of any 100m sprinter i have seen in many years. Its true that Usain is dominating, but Asafa has that amazing balance and technique. Shame that he just cant hold his focus in major finals. Real shame.
Yeah... he broke the 200m WR by only .02 seconds.
and he ran hard for the whole 200m.
Get your facts straight if you wanna argue impossible points about how no one can be that good and must be dopin.
The Nissan GTR V-spec is a 70k car, with 4 seats, and drives well in the winter and it went around nurburing in 7:25. Thats IMPOSSIBLE, i think that car is on steroids! come on dude! give it up, he is just fast. end of story.
1. He broke his pb by 0.36 in the 200m, in one race. Impossible.
2. The dynamics of technological improvement are different from those in human improvement, since improvements in technological capacity can happen over the short term. You need to understand this before you reply again.
So if man does not improve at the 100m, then how would you explain the fact that the WR has been broken so many times this year, and over the last ten years. And that progression of times has soared more than at any other point. In response to the fact that the only way man can get quicker every year is due to stimulants, evolution, better funding, training and equipment lead the way for such new WRs, and it is undeniable that speed in the distance and in all other distances is progressing.
So because the wr has been broken so many times in the last 10 yrs, that means that man does increase physical capacity in the short term, since they are by definition not on drugs.
I'll leave you to untangle your own reasoning there.
1. yes it is a HUGE issue, he tests negative so that means he is not on drugs (obviously)
2. Yes you can get faster every year. Don't you think he is more fast now then when he was 16? With training, practice and all that stuff it is possible to run faster.
3. It's the OLYMPICS, they would be absolutely positive he was not on drugs because it is the biggest stage in the world.
Right. And long ago, people believed that the world was flat. Oh, and that Global Warming was something to scare the people into saving the trees.
Is there a new record for world's tallest man every year? No, but perhaps, every century? See, what you're not getting is the concept of time. Just because it doesn't happen in your lifetime, it isn't possible. If you STILL don't acquiesce to this, then you're a bigger idiot than i thought.
You need to read more carefully- that way you will stop looking silly in front of all these nice people. I said: "human physical capacity does not increase in a linear manner in the short term".
You need to go out and see the world more. Your textbooks and whatnot were written by people who thought they were smart. I hope you realize that just because one country has its dibs on their physical capacity, other countries are exactly the same. Bolt is from Jamaica- not from wherever it is you come from. Who are you to claim that everybody else should be like you? Science today may be MYTHS tomorrow. Nothing is certain- not even science. Please don't forget that.
errr... I have not the slightest idea what you r on. what textbooks? What science? Who said anything about science or textbooks? i have mentioned logic and statistics, by which measure Bolt is almost certain to be doped. If you can challenge the argument on that basis, go ahead; otherwise I dont see why you bother arguing
But... Um... Bolt has been tested negative. He is not on drugs. And therefore your statistics are wrong, because the tests proved that your 'certainty' is false.
Right. Where did you learn your logic and statistics from? From the wall? And while we're at it let me reiterate (in case your logic-obsessed mind hasn't got it yet) that whatever "logic" it is that you believe today is based on facts & data thats been proven correct thus far into this century. A century later, "logic" may be a cultural myth. The POINT here is it's people like Bolt who make us question what we already know and push us towards new knowledge. You suck at being logical by the way.
Good. So I will base my argument upon what we know about human beings (which doesnt, incidentally preclude them running 9,69 for the 100m), and the world, and you can keep going with your imaginary reasoning of how the world isnt, a world in which Usain Bolt jogs the 100m with his laces undone 0,2 seconds quicker than a doped Linford Christie and a doped Carl Lewis running full pelt.
All I'm saying is that you shouldn't be quick to say: THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE, the moment some guy manages to do something amazing. There are still things yet to be discovered in PLANET EARTH and perhaps the human capacity is one of them.
Bolt was tested drug-free. I don't know why people find it so hard to believe that.
I have admittedly made the point forcefully- but that means nothing. The point is that it is *possible* that he is clean, it is just overwhelmingly likely that he is not. *Overwhelmingly*. That is why people dont believe him.
His being tested drug free means nothing- we have been through this time and again. Even the people who have been tested +ve (Christie, Lewis) cleared countless tests; and many dont get called at all (Jones, Greene, Montgomery etc)
YO STOP AT 2:15 BOLT WINS.

America is probably the wickedest and most dishonest sporting nation ever and its that same evil intention why they cast doubt over those who dominate them cleanly.
The americans should be ashamed of themselves for doubting others..given their own history.

It will be impossible now for anyone in the world to perform and win without a cloud hanging over their heads. You people just need to shut the hell up and let these athletes be, until proven other wise.
I would like to think that their is still some good, hard working honest people in this world. Let God be the judge. It's so unfair that the Jamaicans were tested some 4times before even hitting the track. Usian, Asafa, Sherone. The biggest US is the biggest hypocriticla country in the world

Just look at their whole election process hypocrits. Tell Obama he lacks experience to be president then turn around and select an someone with even less experience. Ok so what she held down some little Mayor job for couple of years, Governor for less than 2 years, her town is less than 7,000 people.
Point is stop judging everyone on the grounds that if you perform well you must be on drugs. All of them are innocent until proven guilty or exposed.
dabodyrobinson 3 years ago
Just because athletes from the US were doping for the last 2,3 Olympics doesn't necessarily mean everyone is. The US athletes were doing it because they had the help of a "genius" chemist, by way of "The Clear". If Bolt is cheating, then he's been doing so since he was a young teen; He is the youngest person to win the JUNIOR wold championship. the fact that he is now a world champ comes as no surprise. It's that he's done so at the 100 which is alarming.

You are actually an idiot.
empirical evidence determines human knowledge what else could do so? ohhhh I dunno how about hard evidence and direct links.. not guesses and indirect links? common sense? yeah
You can't just assume people are guilty, I am really glad you are no the police or the whole world would be in jail
Ps. his breaking of the world record in the 200m, that is the first race he ran all the way to the line, every other race he was saving himself, that right there explains it
Junker8 3 years ago
HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU SAY EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE IS ALL THAT MATTERS!?!?!
NO!!!! Hard Evidence is all that matters, empirical evidence is a fancy name for a guess!
Clean people will break 9.69, because it's all mental! now that we understand it can be done, many people will do it, you would understand if you were an athlete capable of competing at a high level
If it's impossible to be this much better than the rest of the field... Tiger, Jordan, Gretzky,Phelps, must all be doping too right? IDIOT!

Michael Jordan was cut from his highschool basketball team
and he became the best player to ever hold a basketball,
Was he doping because you can't improve that much?
does hard work not exist in your world?
Junker8 3 years ago
mjd1982,
you just don't get it, you can only achieve higher if you believe it's possible, and that's one reason people improve, now that the world knows breaking 9.7 is possible there will be more sprinters that do this in the next year.
also, when ben johnson ran he had hard powerful strides, it would make sense he was doping, but Bolt used long, fast strides.
btw. you should look at the progress he made from 15-16-17. was he doping then too

anyone who runs under 9.9 is doping? you are really stupid

Lol do you not know that human physical capacity does not increase in a linear fashion in the short term? This means that anyone running 9.6/7/8 or 19.3-7 is, statistically/logically a practical certainty to be one drugs.
We've seen this before in funks over Johnson, Lewis, Christie, Greene, Gatlin... People need to step back and question these performances rationally, because they are impossible, by any normal definition of the word.

Well of course not. But the fact remains that Man does not get magically quicker every year. When it does happen, the only possible explanation is an external stimulus; the only external stimulus is drugs.
mjd1982 3 years ago
Whoa... of course you can get faster every year.
And if he were using drugs he would be tested positive.
Jonah196 3 years ago
what about here in the olympics? he is running faster than ever and they are tested every day
NHfilms 3 years ago
It doesnt matter at all, and the comment entirely misses the point. Man does not magically get quicker every year, unless there is an external stimulant aiding him. Is there a new record for world's tallest man every year? of course not.
The specifics of your point are wrong as well since these guys are not doping during the Games, rather in the off season, which is the point.
You cannot break your PB by 0,5 seconds in 1 race and expect to be taken seriously.
mjd1982 3 years ago
You are an idiot for a couple reasons:
1. Bolt does not even give 100% every race, you would have to assume that he does, but since he set a world record without his shoe being tied about, and letting up the last 10 metres, I think it's safe to say he doesn't
2. he JUST started training for the 100m, which means he will get much better, much faster
3. he didnt break his PB by 0.5 (half a second) anyways, so learn your shit before you distort your grade 8 facts to us asshole.
Junker8 3 years ago
1. Your 1st point is completely unsubstantiated, so ill just assume u dont mean it seriously
2. This will just increase the possibilities for him being doped, based on the statistical reasoning I have given earlier. think about that, then respond.
3. Your right, 0,36 in the 200m. In 1 race. I dont think anyone sensible is going to take such performances seriously.
mjd1982 3 years ago
Response to point 3: Well the whole world has taken him seriously, and he has proved that he is better than ANY other man at covering both 100 and 200 metres because the computers indicate this.
5Oskar5 3 years ago
I said anyone sensible.
I didnt say he wasnt better than other people at the 100/200m. I said that he can only be on drugs, based on common sense.
mjd1982 3 years ago
1. No, it's not. Because if you don't try your hardest, you are going to improve when you do, I guess common sense is not so common.
2. your stats suck, if history has shown us anything, it's that what we "know " today, will be proven wrong tomorrow.
3. yeah, first the track is fast in beijing, and second he ran it all the way to the end, as hard as he could, and he broke the record.
..by only 2 one hundreths.
some people re define what's possible, like tiger woods and usain bolt
Junker8 3 years ago
1. Your initial point is still unsubstantiated. I will leave you to work out how it is and fix it.
2. Very good. So this means that all human knowledge can be discounted, because it is ipso facto wrong. But then that is knowledge, so that would be wrong... but then... In any case, your reasoning is down the pan, since empirical evidence is all that matters in sensible debate.
3. Im talking about the 200m.
You forgot Mo Greene and Justin Gatlin. They also redefined what is possible, remember?
mjd1982 3 years ago
1. Actually my point is exactly valid but you have no good reply
2. human knowledge and empirical evidence are opposite, empirical evidence is basically a guess, not findings
3. Maureece Green never tested positive for drugs.
4. it's not fair to assume guilty
Junker8 3 years ago
1. Fine.
2. I dont know why I bother replying to such cretinism. The limits of human knowledge are set by empirical evidence. How can you even imagine the contrary? What else could do so, mysticism??
3. Thats not the point. The point is he was on drugs. I suggest you google Angel Heredia.
4. I am saying that it is almost certain he is guilty. This is based on empiricl evidence. You can rely on mysticism and blind faith all you like.
mjd1982 3 years ago
Read it. So Michael Phelps is on drugs, because he broke a world record? Everybody at the Olympics who set a WR is on drugs?
5Oskar5 3 years ago
Obviously!!! and more than that, every athlete that has significantly improved over time is on drugs. Every athlete in any sport who is much better than competition is on drugs. Every athlete who achieves significant PB's is on drugs.
Hard work, focus and preperation are mute points, because the only thing we consider in this world is empirical evidence (a fancy name for a guess ).
....ya I think he is fighting a losing battle ...
Junker8 3 years ago
No, let me repeat my point for the millionth time: since human physical capacity does not increase in a linear manner in the short term, and the 100m has kept on being broken yr after yr, Bolt is almost certain to be on drugs.
mjd1982 3 years ago
mjd1982
you act like past sprinters have already reached this human physical capacity that you speak of... for all we know the human body can do this even faster.
the limits of the human body are not increasing... these men, like Bolt, are increasing towards the limit.
plus i would have to agree with what junker8 has posted. competition in any sense is all mental; of course this something you know absolutely nothing about
mike60004 3 years ago
OK, I was going to say your dumb but that would be rude. You're just making uneducated assumptions. First of all, Bolt is 6'5. If you can move as quickly as someone 3,4,5" shorter you will cover the distance in less time due to the longer stride. Bolt has gotten better due to a great improvement in his starting time. Look at his stockholm clip. Awful start, good finish, 2nd place. Secondly, they were tested repeatedly for this olympics, especially in light of previous infractions (mainly US)
Sonuvgawd 3 years ago
6ft 5 people have existed in the past, and they havent jogged a 9,69. Its just a stupid argument; please think through before replying to me again.
Testing means nothing, except that people who test +ve are doped. I believe Marion Jones still hasnt had a +ve test, ditto Montgomery and Greene. Does this mean they are not doped? Of course not. So this is just not an argument that can be made seriously.
mjd1982 3 years ago
Seriously, that is an extremely weak rebuttal. You are aware that the average human has grown considerably in the last century alone right? Comparatively, someone 6'5 in the 1920s, 30s would be considered a behemoth then. Someone 6'5 today is more likely to be a lot more agile than before. Even the 7 fters are more agile than 30 years ago. You are aware of the vast improvements in weight/physical training, yes? And your statement about Marion Jones and Montgomery is inaccurate.
Sonuvgawd 3 years ago
To repeat myself on this board for the thousandth time:
"do you not know that human physical capacity does not increase in a linear fashion in the short term"
There are 4 important words in that sentence for your argument. See if you can find them.
mjd1982 3 years ago
Montgomery was busted a long time ago. And the clear was previously untraceable because of the genius of the chemist behind it. You're not gonna find something you're not looking for if you have no clue what it is or of its existence. Pertaining to Bolt, he must have been doping at 16 also when he was running 20.XX in the 200m. If an athlete doesn't improve b/w high school and "sub-pro" with significant increase in training something is wrong (or he/she has possilby plateaued). Google News Bolt
Sonuvgawd 3 years ago
Finally, I'm not going to go on record and make claims that Jamaican athletes never dope (as I have seen in this thread). For one, Ben Johnson was a native of Jamaica. And I will not outright dismiss the possibilty that Bolt is roided. Because that would foolish much like your proposition that he definitely is as if it is fact. Michael Johnson set a record no one thought would be broken any time soon in the age of doping. Does that mean he is a guilty party as well? Answer: Who knows.
Sonuvgawd 3 years ago
Based on your arguments, you can't conclude that he's on drugs. It's true that the human physical capacity doesn't increase in a linear manner in the short term. But bolt does not present the whole human capacity: he's just an amazing talent who runs terribly quickly. He's an uniquely talented guy and I don't think other sprinters will beat his time for the next 20 years.. Think about it

This comment has received too many negative votes show
I said that he is almost certainly on drugs. Given that almost every increase in physicla capacity over 100m in the last 20 yrs has been drug abetted, the argument would have to be that he has improved- drastically- on drug fuelled human capacity, but naturally. Think about that; Its nonsense. Man doesnt get faster every year- and he certainly does not get faster than his top drug assisted speed every year. Its logic. What is your basis for concluding that he is not drugged?
mjd1982 2 years ago
Your logica doens't make sense: "Because other sprinters are ond drugs, he must be too!" And secondly, he was running 20.60 as a 15-year old. Since then, he only shaved off 1.3 second of his PB during those 7 years. It's a realistic progression. And I agree on the fact that many (especially american) sprinters are on drugs: running WR out of nowhere. Bolt however has always run fast his whole life. So dont ask me why he's NOT drugged. And since he's always tested negative, why IS he drugged?
j90b 2 years ago
I never said he must be- hence why you cannot make sense of the logic. 20.6 as a 15 yr old is meaningless- Mark Lewis Francis ran, effectively 9.97 as an 18 yr old, and where is he now? ditto Darrel Brown, Dwain Chambers etc. 1.3 is a huge amount in sprinting terms.
in a nutshell, given thatt most, if not all sub 9,9ers have been doped, when someone jogs 9.69, and in the absence of an effective drug testing system, the conclusion must be that he is almost certainly doped.
mjd1982 2 years ago
mjd...he supposively jogged 9.69 at the olympics which has one of the best drug test systems...Bolt and Phelps were the two most tested athletes at the olympics....everyone that cheated got caught...he didnt...at least not yet...so we must say for someone who is so fast now and was so fast as a 15yr old has to be genetics not drugs...i mean in that case every world class sprinter now like Gay who run such great times are all doped cause they ran great times in high school and college too

"3. I'm talking about the 200m"
Yeah... he broke the 200m WR by only .02 seconds.
and he ran hard for the whole 200m.
Get your facts straight if you wanna argue impossible points about how no one can be that good and must be dopin.
The Nissan GTR V-spec is a 70k car, with 4 seats, and drives well in the winter and it went around nurburing in 7:25. Thats IMPOSSIBLE, i think that car is on steroids! come on dude! give it up, he is just fast. end of story.
Junker8 3 years ago
1. He broke his pb by 0.36 in the 200m, in one race. Impossible.
2. The dynamics of technological improvement are different from those in human improvement, since improvements in technological capacity can happen over the short term. You need to understand this before you reply again.
mjd1982 3 years ago
He's fighting a losing battle, right?
5Oskar5 3 years ago
So if man does not improve at the 100m, then how would you explain the fact that the WR has been broken so many times this year, and over the last ten years. And that progression of times has soared more than at any other point. In response to the fact that the only way man can get quicker every year is due to stimulants, evolution, better funding, training and equipment lead the way for such new WRs, and it is undeniable that speed in the distance and in all other distances is progressing.
5Oskar5 3 years ago
So because the wr has been broken so many times in the last 10 yrs, that means that man does increase physical capacity in the short term, since they are by definition not on drugs.
I'll leave you to untangle your own reasoning there.
mjd1982 3 years ago
lol stop trying to sound smart, dude.
1. yes it is a HUGE issue, he tests negative so that means he is not on drugs (obviously)
2. Yes you can get faster every year. Don't you think he is more fast now then when he was 16? With training, practice and all that stuff it is possible to run faster.
3. It's the OLYMPICS, they would be absolutely positive he was not on drugs because it is the biggest stage in the world.
NHfilms 3 years ago
1. Right. So Marion Jones never tested positive, so she therefore was never on drugs, by your reasoning.
2. I said "Man", not "a man".
3. ??? Just makes no sense whatsoever there Im afraid.
mjd1982 3 years ago
"Man does not magically get quicker every year"
Right. And long ago, people believed that the world was flat. Oh, and that Global Warming was something to scare the people into saving the trees.
Is there a new record for world's tallest man every year? No, but perhaps, every century? See, what you're not getting is the concept of time. Just because it doesn't happen in your lifetime, it isn't possible. If you STILL don't acquiesce to this, then you're a bigger idiot than i thought.

Exactly
5Oskar5 3 years ago
You need to go out and see the world more. Your textbooks and whatnot were written by people who thought they were smart. I hope you realize that just because one country has its dibs on their physical capacity, other countries are exactly the same. Bolt is from Jamaica- not from wherever it is you come from. Who are you to claim that everybody else should be like you? Science today may be MYTHS tomorrow. Nothing is certain- not even science. Please don't forget that.
youneversaiditwasok 3 years ago
errr... I have not the slightest idea what you r on. what textbooks? What science? Who said anything about science or textbooks? i have mentioned logic and statistics, by which measure Bolt is almost certain to be doped. If you can challenge the argument on that basis, go ahead; otherwise I dont see why you bother arguing
mjd1982 3 years ago
But... Um... Bolt has been tested negative. He is not on drugs. And therefore your statistics are wrong, because the tests proved that your 'certainty' is false.
5Oskar5 3 years ago
Right. Where did you learn your logic and statistics from? From the wall? And while we're at it let me reiterate (in case your logic-obsessed mind hasn't got it yet) that whatever "logic" it is that you believe today is based on facts & data thats been proven correct thus far into this century. A century later, "logic" may be a cultural myth. The POINT here is it's people like Bolt who make us question what we already know and push us towards new knowledge. You suck at being logical by the way.
youneversaiditwasok 3 years ago
Good. So I will base my argument upon what we know about human beings (which doesnt, incidentally preclude them running 9,69 for the 100m), and the world, and you can keep going with your imaginary reasoning of how the world isnt, a world in which Usain Bolt jogs the 100m with his laces undone 0,2 seconds quicker than a doped Linford Christie and a doped Carl Lewis running full pelt.
I prefer planet Earth.
mjd1982 3 years ago
All I'm saying is that you shouldn't be quick to say: THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE, the moment some guy manages to do something amazing. There are still things yet to be discovered in PLANET EARTH and perhaps the human capacity is one of them.
Bolt was tested drug-free. I don't know why people find it so hard to believe that.
youneversaiditwasok 3 years ago
I have admittedly made the point forcefully- but that means nothing. The point is that it is *possible* that he is clean, it is just overwhelmingly likely that he is not. *Overwhelmingly*. That is why people dont believe him.
His being tested drug free means nothing- we have been through this time and again. Even the people who have been tested +ve (Christie, Lewis) cleared countless tests; and many dont get called at all (Jones, Greene, Montgomery etc)
