What a joke Usain Bolt is....

Clearly on the juice, no doubt in my mind.

Hopefully they catch him sooner rather than later before he breaks anymore WR's.

What makes you so sure? He ran exactly the same race as in Beijing (they predicted he would've been 9.56 in Beijing if he didn't let up), just finished the race this time. Gay would've set the record yesterday if Bolt wasn't around, is he on it too?

I would in NO way be surprised if you are correct, but I'm not shocked a Jamaican is faster than an American and it seems like they were running on a fast track. Also, not sure when the last time I heard of a Jamaican being caught taking banned substances??

why not? i like the idea of bolt giving football a try. 22 years old, 6'5" and the chance to cash in more than he can just running.
