when you're competing @ an olympic level I'm sure theres many ways to go around testing
its expensive and hard to test for everything, especially stuff that gets out of ur system fast, he may not be currently on roids, doesn't mean he previously hasn't been
at least according to the documentary bigger faster stronger it claims up to 70-80% of professional athletes are currently or have been on roids

I really think that the Jamaicans have been using drugs not yet identified to be on the banned substance list. Bolt plus that other jamaican lady breaking records by a lot.....questions are to be raised.
Its like when epo in cycling came out. No one tested it before because investigators didn't know how to test for it or even know about it for a while. So technically he isn't breaking any rules, but when investigators find out about this drug/product, it will be banned.
Just my 2 cents.

Unless Jamaica someone has a magic undetectable steroid formula that nobody else in the world knows about, I'm thinking it's pretty unlikely Bolt is on any banned substances. | The olympics are pretty serious about testing.. however, it doesn't mean that if the athlete uses, they will find something..
there are many known performance enhancers that clear the system quickly or can be deposited quickly. Also, there are a number of drugs that cannot even be tested.
And i've read in China they have already developed a new strain of HGH, that is far superior to the one the body makes. therefore, you can inject yourself with a moderate supply and when testing the HGH level in your body it will still be "Normal" but since this new HGH is more "potent" you get the benefits of having more when it seems you are not.
in today's world, anything is possible..
but then again, maybe bolt is the next generation for athletes.. that is also possible.
but you can't rule out either.

I can't see why Jamaica would be at the forefront of performance enhancing drugs.

the thing is this guy started winning shit at 15... it just doesn't seem to make that much sense that a 15y/o is experimenting with steroids and shit.
i guess this still leaves the fact that he has talent + he doped up later on in life? but i guess i just want to believe that he's clean =]

I think its just the fact that track is really the only big sport there, aside from soccer. I was there about two months ago, and I swear like every 10 minutes on tv was an ad for track meet this and track meet that. That and the town hes from, Trelawny, is basically just a shanty town, so all they have there growing up is track. Also look at the history of Jamaican sprinters, its not just like they became fast in the last little while, lots of the best sprinters in the world have all come from the carribbean.

You don't see the kids down there sitting on their couches watching Nickelodeon everyday.
And down there is different too, they don't live to eat, they eat to live... everyone down there is so fit
