Kidding, but I wouldn't be surprised


I'm going to assume he's innocent though. Hopefully he is, it would be good to have some clean runners

He needs to be on Earth's news feed

http://www.collegehumor.com/article:1760601

broke the WR for the 100 and 200? what!!!

They are drug testing him and the other Jamaicans like every 3 hours too, he said it's getting annoying, lol.

8/20/2008 11:32:39 AM

i'm drafting him as a receiver for my fantasy football team

8/20/2008 11:36:51 AM

sorry marko....I scooped him up this weekend

8/20/2008 11:41:13 AM

can you imagine if he played in the NFL

8/20/2008 11:43:15 AM

i don't know if he could take a hit, but he looks like he could juke a sack at will

8/20/2008 11:44:21 AM

dont know about juking but all i'd do is put him out wide and throw hail marys ..ALL DAY

8/20/2008 11:52:01 AM

Corners would just jam him at the line and he would be on his ass.

Plus we don't know if he can catch.

He would have a more promising career as a corner probably.

8/20/2008 11:53:53 AM

He showboats more like a WR

8/20/2008 11:56:23 AM

Seriously when you slow down and beat your chest before crossing the line, you would probably work as a WR!

8/20/2008 12:02:56 PM

WR stands for both world record and wide receiver

8/20/2008 12:03:51 PM

8/20/2008 12:29:38 PM

sad thing is he could have crushed it even harder than he already did

8/20/2008 12:33:29 PM

with both the 100 and 200, he is just leaving room for him to break the records again and again. It's a long-term strategy. Nobody can touch him.

"Bolt's coach forgets to tell him he will be running the 100mMichael Phillips The Guardian, Wednesday August 6 2008 Article history Usain Bolt was surprised to learn yesterday that his coach, Glen Mills, had decided that the Jamaican would definitely attempt the sprint double in Beijing. Mills said at the weekend that the 100m world record-holder would compete at that distance along with the 200m, his favoured event, after weeks of speculation about his Olympic plans. Bolt leaves such decisions to Mills but, having said he was "80% sure" of doubling up, the 21-year-old looked surprised when he was told the news. "After hearing what my coach has been saying, now I am 100% certain," Bolt said. "We have a great relationship. He is like my second father. I really don't have a problem. This is the first miscommunication that I have ever had with my coach and I hope it never happens again. I have been conditioning myself all year in case I plan to run the double. I have been doing 200m and 100m over the season. I am used to the heats. I don't think it will take too much out of me." Bolt, a world junior 200m champion, ran 9.72sec in New York to break the 100m world record in May. The Jamaican 4x100m relay team member Julien Dunkley said he had been told that he had failed a drugs test at Jamaica's national championships in June and would not be competing in Beijing. Dunkley, 32, was told his A sample had tested positive for an undisclosed substance, reported to be the anabolic steroid boldenone. "I will request that the B sample gets tested as I have never taken drugs in my life and I don't know about this drug," he said. Two of Bolt's rivals for Olympic sprint gold, Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell, will go head-to-head in the 100m at the British Grand Prix in Gateshead on August 31, two weeks after the Olympic final. Gay, the world champion, was due to race Powell at last month's London Grand Prix but withdrew with a hamstring problem. Powell won in 9.94sec. "It was just too much of a risk for me to run in London and I apologise to the British fans for not running there," Gay said. "But I promise I will make it up to them in Gateshead. "

Bolt didn't even know he was going to RUN the 100

then he ends up smashing the record

8/20/2008 3:26:52 PM

i wanna see what he can do with a dog chasing him

8/20/2008 3:46:23 PM

i dont ever remember someone so head and shoulders better than everyone else
is this unprecedented?

8/20/2008 4:36:12 PM

^yes, if only there were another olympian who broke 2 world records in the same olympics

8/20/2008 5:00:25 PM

Usain Bolt and athletes like him are what the olympics are all about. Sometimes it's so refreshing to see guys like him instead of true "professionals"

But sprinters are not known for their separation speed i.e. making cuts and running hard routes. Think of it like one of those Land-speed record cars. Fast in a straight line, but don't turn that bitch.

this happened in 1984 with these sprints, but not by these margins

8/20/2008 5:22:15 PM

carl lewis used to do that stuff, but he never did it by far enough that he had time to turn around and check his watch before he crossed the finish line like usain

the man is my newest hero. hope he doesn't OD on himself like randy moss though

i said someone who dominated and was so far better than the competition
can you name me one example of this case?

8/20/2008 6:46:56 PM

I bet he fucking dominated ding dong ditch

8/20/2008 6:49:12 PM

I would obviously need time to toughen up enough to take hits, but he already looks like he has a football body. I wonder how long it would take him to develop the hands and the receiver instincts.


Then again, he is probably going to get mad endorsements for this, so he can still make bank without getting beaten up every week.

[Edited on August 20, 2008 at 7:03 PM. Reason : .]

8/20/2008 7:02:30 PM

He set the WR last year and already has mad endorsements. But after these olympics, he'll just be straight-up wealthy.

8/20/2008 8:02:59 PM

he is almost as big a show off as ocho cinco

8/20/2008 9:14:53 PM

usain in the membrane

8/20/2008 9:20:43 PM

8/20/2008 10:11:14 PM

He also broke the 200m record with a slight headwind

Dude is straight nasty

"Rogge rips the wrong guy AFP - Aug 21, 2:12 am EDT Olympics Gallery BEIJING — Jacques Rogge is so bought, so compromised, the president of the IOC doesn’t have the courage to criticize China for telling a decade of lies to land itself these Olympic Games. All the promises made to get these Games — on Tibet, Darfur, pollution, worker safety, freedom of expression, dissident rights — turned out to be phony, perhaps as phony as the Chinese gymnasts’ birthdates Rogge was way too scared to investigate. One of the most powerful men in sports turned the world away from his complicity. Instead, he has flexed his muscles by unloading on a powerless sprinter from a small island nation. Rogge’s ripping of Usain Bolt’s supposed showboating in two of the most electrifying gold-medal performances of these Games has to be one of the most ill-timed and gutless acts in the modern history of the Olympics. “That’s not the way we perceive being a champion,” Rogge said of the Jamaican sprinter. “I have no problem with him doing a show. I think he should show more respect for his competitors and shake hands, give a tap on the shoulder to the other ones immediately after the finish and not make gestures like the one he made in the 100 meters.” Oh, this is richer than those bribes and kickbacks the IOC got caught taking. All the powerful nations — including the United States — have carte blanche at the Games. They can pout and preen, cheat, throw bean balls, file wild complaints, break promises that got them a host bid, whatever they want. They can take turns slapping Rogge and his cronies around like rag dolls as long as the dinner with a good wine list gets paid. A single individual sprinter? Even if you don’t like his manner, that’s whom Rogge deems it necessary to attack, to issue a worldwide condemnation? “I understand the joy,” Rogge said. “He might have interpreted that in another way, but the way it was perceived was ‘catch me if you can.’ You don’t do that. But he’ll learn. He’s still a young man.” Perceived by whom? Old fat cats making billions of Olympic dollars on the backs of athletes like Bolt for a century now? They get to define this? They get to lecture about learning? Bolt is everything the Olympics are supposed to be about. He isn’t the product of some rich country, some elaborate training program that churns out gold medals by any means necessary. He’s a breath of fresh air, a guy who came out of nowhere to enrapture the world with his athletic performance and colorful personality. This is no dead-eye product of some massive machine. He was himself, and the world loved him for it. On his own force of will, Bolt has become the break-out star of these Games. He saved the post-Michael Phelps Olympics. It wasn’t so much his world-record times, but the flair, the fun. No one at the track had a problem with this guy; they understood he is everything the sport needs to recover from an era of extreme doping. The Lightning Bolt made people care about track again, something that seemed impossible two weeks ago. “I don’t feel like he’s being disrespectful,” American Shawn Crawford told the Associated Press. “He deserves to dance.” Apparently, Rogge would prefer 12-year-old gymnasts too frightened to crack a smile. It got better when, in the same press conference, he pretended to forget all the lies China told him to get this bid, all the troubles, all the challenges, and praised the host nation. Yes, these have been an exceptionally well-run Games from a tactical standpoint, and the Chinese people have displayed otherworldly kindness. None of which denies the promises broken, the innocent jailed, the freedoms denied — the kind of issues someone with Jacques Rogge’s standing should be talking about. He has no spine for that. Not for China. Not for any big country. He had to criticize someone, he had to make headlines, he had to show he was a tough guy. So who better than someone from somewhere that can’t ever touch him back? Yes, Usain Bolt is the problem of the Olympics. He’s the embarrassment. He’s the one who needs to learn. Sure, Jacques, sure.

did you mean they are testing ALL the athletes? or just the non-USA ones?

I mean they are testing Bolt and other Jamaican athletes more often. This makes sense, since they're dominating, but some articles I've read said the Jamaicans are getting annoyed by the amount of testing.

8/21/2008 3:30:43 PM

that makes no sense. Is Phelps being tested too?

in this day and age, is it not our obligation to question whether each and every supreme athlete is doping?

8/21/2008 6:44:47 PM

you either question EVERYONE or question no one. The Olympics isn't TSA and the stadium isn't an airport.

8/21/2008 6:47:17 PM

I think the top finishers in every event are automatically tested.
