Usain Bolt just beat his world record with 9.58

not a question of mistakes. it's a question of having the right tests and whether or not people can evade being caught. remember, there is no test for HGH, even though it's a banned substance. so while a negative test result helps, it doesn't close the book. actually i don't know if the book can ever be closed anymore, for anyone.

to give an example why, marion jones was tested and passed every time. she was only caught because they found her name on a BALCO invoice...seven years later. one of the many things BALCO specialized in was teaching clients how to test negative even when they were positive.

it's all a bit of a conspiracy theory, of course, and has some of the worst aspects of a conspiracy theory in it--zero proof, circumstantial argument, denies validity of any proof to the contrary, etc. but of course i'm not claiming that it is the truth...only that i'm suspicious in this case and have a bad feeling that evidence will eventually emerge validating that bad feeling.

Well that only goes to show how American sprinting has had a shadow of infamy cast over it and how it has lost it's influence in the 100m event.

Jamaican sprinting on the other hand has risen to it's highest highs and shouldn't really be dragged down with the ship or even but in the same boat as the other offenders.

Although saying that, Tyson Gay has nothing to do with anything wrong about the sport. He has run the race of his life and has set a new national record which he should be proud of. But American sprinting isn't the best in the world anymore.

The way history will remember it is that Bolt won the race by the same margin as he did in Bejing (blowing away the opposition) and that Gay ran a time 0.2 slower then the then world record of 9.69.

I think that this is just Bolt's style, and that he should be praised. I doubt that any such evidence will reveal itself. Something I doubt about other "conspiracies".
