It's not that he beat an American. It's that his own teamates & people he trained with were cheating, the people he beat were cheating (Jamaicans and Americans) and he not only beat these athletes but he absolutely oblierated them. Like no one was in his stratosphere......
Either Usain Bolt is the most blessed human who ever lived to have the natural skill and ability to dominate the best athletes in the world who were on PEDs or he was on PEDs too and he was just better than them......like Barry Bonds. I know what I believe.
He's the most blessed human being.
I was at the national stadium when he was running U-17 200 and 400. He was elite at both at that level but had injury issues. When he went professional and focused on the sprints, it was just a matter of time till he dominated (if he stayed healthy). The height in combination with the turnover rate was going to be devastating. Other sprinters have had the same turnover rate but a longer set of legs made him the anomaly.
There have been tall sprinters since(remember Ryan Bailey, Polo association to Bolt's Ralph Lauren) but they just didn't have the right combination. Anything can happen but I don't think we'll ever see anyone run as fast in our lifetimes. You waste your time casting suspicions instead of enjoying what was the best moment in track and field history. Doping is so prevalent in sprinting that everyone has 2 degrees of separation from a doper, but that in itself does not make them a doper. No one was drug tested more than Bolt, y'all spent all them resources trying to find something that wasn't there.
