Usain Bolt on Carl Lewis: "I have no respect for him. No respect."

[Hiphoplives4eva]

all sports are incredibly tainted in the modern era, its true. thats just the way it is unfortunately. in fact it makes me feel some kind of way about the essence of sports in general because as a kid growing up i used to really look up to these athletes and think that i could be them if i worked hard. at the end of the day thats what sports is really supposed to be for in the first place. i just cant feel the same way to certain athletes and players anymore.

thats why i feel bad for tyson gay who actually does do year-round random testing. hes the only top sprinter (and athletes in all sports in general) i know that actually subjects himself to this and he doesnt have to. the three guys that beat him in the 100 (gatlin,blake,bolt) dont.... he took 4th place in that race but... in a way... he really took first place....

at least in my eyes

cool story bro

 

[MikelArteta]

I just think its sad that everyone regardless of country celebrated Phelps who is one of the greats.... no one questioned him

The minute that Chinese girl started breaking records that American coach starts to allude to drug use.... It reminds me of when it was claimed that south african female runner was a man just because she was winning....

Carl Lewis is a known cheat.....

There was a recent bbc documentary on the 1988 Seoul 100m final, everyone in the race including Carl Lewis and Ben Johnson were interviewed...

Two things that stood out from the documentary, everyone including his teamates hated Carl Lewis...
The second was Ben Johnson saying evryone in that race was doping but he was the only one caught.....

At the end of the documentary they interviewed the head of the doping lab, he said that due to modern techniques they could discover PEDs and masking agents that they couldnt back then, because all samples are stored he said out of curiosity he went back and tested everyone who ran the 100m final, he said all tested positive for PEDs

Props on the link, I think Calvin smith Is the only one of the top 5 runners in 100m in seoul who never failed a drug test

wtf is "very downgrading?"

 

[thelonious21]

hes literally not.

After he won in Bejing that nikka was tested WEEKLY

 

[thelonious21]

they dnt test bolt regularly/randomly throughout the year. they only test weeks to the event.

and in jamaica i doubt they even test bolt at all. i doubt they test any of their runners at all. look at their dominance and try to explain it. why is this tiny country so dominant?

HATE HATE HATE

Uh Oh!!

I think Carl Lewis is the GOAT Olympian

However, nearly everyone from his generation and then every great after him don't like or respect him. Michael Johnson used to shyt on him, so did Maurice Greene. It happens too much for me to throw shade at Bolt for this. And a lot of it is because he tries to shyt on a lot of dudes.

of course they dont like him. because HE"S RIGHT. he was CLewis fan. but i was also a BEN johnson homer. i always knew BJ was on the sauce. i just didnt want him to get caught. Lewis knew too. everyone called lewis a hater back then as well. low and behold. BJ wassss in fact on the sauce. So now when lewis is making perfectly good sense. he's again called a bitter old man.

LOL at people just wanting to BELIEVE that this dude Usain is really running those times naturally. to me, i dont care if he is or if he isnt. i think most of these dudes are on some type of PED's detectable or not. doesnt bother me one bit. do you.

This will be the ESPN 30 for 30 released as "9.79" imo. Same director etc. so theyll be seeing it.

I'm still pissed off at Ben. one of the great running jokes between me and a homie was me betting him $20 that Ben was going to beat Carl months prior to the 88' Olympics. I won......got my $20....then the results came out.



I had to pay him back AND tack on another $20. fukk Ben Johnson!!!!

usain bolt uses cheating chemicals to enhance his runs/performance, end of

So how exactly do you know what times the human body is capable of? Because of what happened before?

My theory is this, until jamacia got its act together and starting marrying extreme natural talent with cutting edge coaching/preparation sprinters were running inefficient times. people like carl lewis, who relied on complacent US coaching principles, were not running to their maximum capacity.

USAIN BOLT

we are witnessing the greatest feat in the history of athletics..

he has harnessed the true power of the human body that exists in all of us

there are no limits

[ROFL_GUY]

BOLT's 2012 Recrd 9.63 is 10 feet ahead of Lewis 1988 100m 9.92 time

why do people cite Victor Conte as if he has no agenda? Conte was the Andre Berto's "nutritionist" when Berto got popped for using some PEDs a few months ago. He is around some shadiness again, yet people look at him as an authoritative figure on the matter.

Out of the Jamaican sprinters, only Veronica Campbell-Brown went to school in the US. THe rest of them stay in Jamaica and do college there, that is the big difference between today's Jamaican sprinter and those of 10-15 years ago. None of them are leaving the country to get training, the training is being done there.

AS for swimming? Australia and the US are tops in that department, but most of the world dont swim. IM looking at sports like Tennis, [like running events in track and field (specifically the men, the US women have taken most of the medals there), boxing, men's bball where the US wins because of its athleticism (it pains me to say that too), and a lot other international sports. The last 10 years, the world has caught up and passed the USA in athlete development. And its not just poor countries, but many first world countries have too.

Wait so since we have lost to an all time great runner the last 2 Olympics all of a sudden we no longer are capable of producing great athletes in that field? You low key dissing the Jamaican track program with that. Its not that they worked hard and achieved, its that we fell off. You cant say Bolt is an all time great runner on one hand and on the other say USA track has fallen off. Either Bolt is great and he is beating top class competition or he is winning because the competition is getting shytty training. Get my drift? Kinda like how you cant say Jordan is the greatest ever on one hand and then start talking about how shytty his competition was on the other.


Thats the thing with America. We arent allowed to lose anymore. If we lose its all doom and gloom. Our top 2 400 runners are out injured, if they werent we would have taken 1st and 2nd in that event easily.

We have been passed in athlete development but somehow we are up big in the medal count and the 2nd place country racked up medals in ping pong, badminton, and synchronized diving. Yep, we have been caught alright.
