Usain Bolt runs a 9.58 today , new WR

Vancouverfan · Aug 16, 2009

wow,,, says he can still run lower. won the gold at track and field world championships today. Lost in Bolt's shadow was Tyson Gay who ran a US record 9.71...

9.71 3rd fastest ever. I like both Bolt and Gay, but Gay is like all those guys that played during MJ hey day.

he will crack 9.5 one day.. what is that , like 35 mph ?

that guy is fast

Didn't see the race, did he pull up and start celebrating at the 90 yard mark or did he run hard the entire 100 yards? How long before he gets a call from Al Davis?

Bolt is an absolute freak! No telling how fast he can go.

he won't even reach his peak for another 3-4 years. of course there's already much speculation of PED's by many, including Carl Lewis, who've been quick to point out how Bolt went from a 10.03 to a 9.68 in 6 months last year.

Bolt is one of the few guys I can remember including Lewis, who I didn't think was using. Carl just likes to cry foul every time because he is no longer important.

Looking at Bolt, he is not even close to being ripped like many of the previous juicers. Also, he is an extremely big guy from a T&F stand point. Watching him the starting blocks today, he made Gay look like dwarf. Powell looks more like he is on the juice compared with Bolt. I hope he is clean, but you never know. However, I put him in the MJ, Tiger, Lebron category of a freak of nature.

If Bolt's using and the doping committee can't detect it then shame on them.

JAKEPEAVY21 · Aug 17, 2009

Bolt has been a prodigy since his early teens if you do some research about him..I highly doubt he is juicing, but in this day and age you never know. Bolt is one like 20 or 30 years ahead of his time..a guy his height and weight shouldn't be able to get out of the blocks nearly as fast as he does..freak of nature

he let up at end once he saw he had it- he can run 9.49 no sweat.

the race from the other day was a thing of beauty, it is mind blowing to watch his HUGE asssss destroying everyone?

and when you look at him, geesh, I cant believe I am saying this, but I just DONT think he is on anything performance enhancing,, its just not there,

oh and that fagCarl Lewis and his sister both Juiced back in the day! its easy to criticize when youve never been caught! I was in ATL at the time when they were huge and it was a known local thing that they were juicing.

could be a new drug that can't be detected?

Sportsrmylife · Aug 17, 2009

Remember when a roided up horse vitamin taking Ben Johnson BLEW everyone away with a time of 9.89 seconds. That time wouldn't finish in the top half in today's races.

Oh how chemists have helped today's sports.

carl lewis should concern himself with learning how to throw a baseball 60 feet instead of about 5 feet .. just incase he ever gets asked to throw out a first pitch again..

I doubt Bolt is on drugs. I think he drives a beat up Honda Accord last I read. He's not exactly Ivan Drago (sticking with the Rocky theme from last night) meets Jamaica or anything.

Guy is just a tall runner with great stride and freak athletic ability.
