when he ran the 9.69 in the 100, the last 25 meters he was showboating and slowing down. he is the fastest man i have ever seen. i think they said the hit 35+ mph. i wonder what he does a 40 yd dash in? sub 4's?

It cant be more than 35+ :rolleyes: i say right around 30. When you are a running human, 5 mph is a huge difference.

Then I take my hat off to him and apologize. I just don't see how he can let off show boat and still manage to crush these records. IDK. Just seems odd to me.

we will see in time, i think it was 88 when that guy won and not too long afterward was stripped of the medals for testing positive so i'm sure he has pressure to have himself tested just to prove it all.

someone posted something about jesse jackson saying swimmers arnt tested as hard as track runners so you are prolly right.

is that for the 100 or 200?


I wonder what he traps in the 1/4 mile

Im wondering, with his launches, can he beat a car to 60ft. And i mean a fast car.

I'll bet he was juicing up until the Olympics. There are steroids that don't take long to get out of your system.

not to go against what you said but it is just generally sad that when an athlete is so successful nowadays, steroids are an immediate thought. Whether the Olympics or the Tour de France.....sad

It really is, thats the reason I like basketball(pro) and College football, you never hear much about steriods in either of them

i doubt that. i feel college kids are so desperate to make it to the pros that they will make stupid decisions like steroids.

On the other hand a pro athlete might be at a level where he is to proud too take steroids.

College has very strict testing. You very rarely hear about steriods in cfb

coming from a jamaican family and being extremely proud of this moment, i hope he or any other sprinter wasnt on anything. I highly doubt any foul play was involved tho
