The argument of “such and such athlete never failed a drug test” is a moot point ever since lance armstrong. Dude was tested over 500 times and everybody knew he was on steroids yet he never failed a drug test and nobody could prove it.

But he got caught because....

somebody proved it.

He was blood doping and all the moving parts to get that done, at some point he was going to get busted. It was a conspiracy involving more than 5 people.

Jamaica has always been good at sprinting, especially given the relatively small population. Before people were taking PEDs, Jamaica was winning medals in sprinting (1952 Herb McKenley should have won gold but another dodgy USA photo finish) Donald Quarrie 1976 olympics, gold in the 200m.


80s come around, USA vs Russia pissing contest so both sides are doing whatever they can to win. Most sprinters are doping, Jamaica not doing anything significant in track and field. 90s come around and Jamaica start making noise again, which also coincides with stricter drug testing. Donovan Bailey, born in Jamaica wins 100 gold in 96 Olympics, Merlene Ottey screwed on another photo finish with an American.

The fact that Jamaica dominated track and field in 2005-2016 is a testament to great drug testing. USA is dominating again, so y'all must have found a new cheat code.

So we making shyt up now? This is a article that was not even written by Americans. All that smoke around Jamaican track athletes you would think that you would want to present accurate facts.

'Flo Jo' Passed All Drug Tests​


Flo Jo retired early and died very young. The premise of this entire thread is speculation, but a woman that showed the biggest improvement ever in 1 year, totally changed her body composition, had yellow eyes and died young, wasn't doping? Lol.

She took enough steroids for two adult males.

Bolt was on roads just like his best friend and training partner Yohan and his buddy Asafa Powell. People know the truth about the Jamaican track team and they were ready for their cheating asses this year, but your team cycled off the juice far before the Olympics to avoid detection and that is why the Jamaican results looked like the other Caribbean countries this time around rather than like the USA. There was literally no explanation for why Jamaican results have historically be better than other Caribbean countries like say the Bahamas, Trinidad and Tobago or Barbados, except for cheating

Usain Bolt passed his tests and had pedigree and OP STILL raised this stupid thread, to which you gleefully joined in. Flojo didn't have a tenth of the pedigree in terms of breaking records from a young age that Bolt did. If you are going to tell me her body transformation and tainted record (look at the wind speed) was down to vitamins and prayers, then fine. You be naive.

That’s an asterisk by the way :francis:


When discussing Flo Jo, it’s widely accepted that her world record times are because of steroids, when discussing Bolt they act is it’s because he was naturally that much faster.

Bolt was eating cassava and yams his whole life. It gave him super powers :manny:

In the grand scheme of things, it's inconsequential if Bolt doped or not.

We know that no recorded sprinter in human history has been able to match his stride turnover frequency + stride length. Since we'll never know who truly holds the fastest [non-PEDs] 100m time, at least we know the person who holds it now is indisputably the fastest, irregardless of the actual time. It won't come under threat until someone with similar dimensions comes along, because your typically built sprinter has no chance of coming close.
