  • by rocket fuel you mean winstrol, right?

  • juice or not, ben is fastest man ever

  • everyone in the last 2 heats is on juice

  • @curetril so true - Carl Lewis, who was given gold when Johnson was stripped of his medal, tested positive for stimulants 8 weeks before the Olympics, but appealed saying he was unaware of taking them. Linford Christie came in third, then in 2000 tested positive for drugs, Dennis Mitchell who came in 5th tested positive in 1999, as was Desai Williams who came in 6th. Ridiculous.

  • It makes sense that once one athlete begins doping (cheating), there is an "arms race" which ensues as other athletes attempt to catch up. So no matter which way you look at it, an athlete at this elite level MUST cheat - because he is otherwise giving up a great advantage to his nearest competitors. This is doubly the case with the "authorities" playing cat-and-mouse games with the competitors. The issue of "detection" isn't nearly as cut-and-dried as it is made out to be.

  • @Javincy actually its WADA officials who carry out random testings. And hate if you want, but hendrixian has a point. Just look at EPO problems in cycling. It has taken since the 1980's to finally develop an effective test, but athlete's doctors are one step ahead and are already using NESP, DYNEO, CERA etc - none of these have effective tests. According to WADA statistics about 1% of all athletes across a range of sports are caught on drugs. To assume that they're the only ones is simply naive.

  • Call Lewis got his ass whip and he was doped up too.

  • @hendrixian1 Your ignorance is quite visible you cunt.... how do you know this? Bolt, Powell, Blake, Shelly-Ann Fraser and all top Olympic athletes have to submit to RANDOM testings by IAAF....whether it is in season or off season.

  • @hendrixian1 You're so full of shit.

  • They all cheat. Wicked race thou
