so what happened,his genes have slowed down?I have the same respest I have for other legends of sports like Lance Armstron or Carl Lewis.No evidence to claim they dope.There is only an explanation as to why Gatlin is now close to Bolt and it's obviously not genes

based on the 'innocent until caught' theory,Lance Armstrong was never caught in 7 tours so he must be innocent!It's only specultion.Bolt hasn't been caught on a test so he must be innocent!

Er no, based on the 'innocent until caught' theory, Lance Armstrong is guilty because he was caught. It's not that hard of a concept to understand. Your logic relies on someone somehow proving a negative, which by default is impossible.
Yes Christine Ohuruogu!!! don't know why Montsho didn't lean

No, he has been caught. He simply never failed a doping test. He was caught through other means, ie. the USADA investigating the hell out of him, applying a butt tonne of pressure on him and forcing him into admitting guilt.
Big fan of David Oliver glad he won

Pretty sure he failed test but it was just covered up.

Are you for real? Do you know what a gene is? If you did, you'd realise that that statement makes no sense at all.
Not sure how you have a shred of respect for Lance Armstrong after the systematic doping he encouraged and admitted to.
Haha sure, okay. So the explanation is that Bolt stopped taking drugs? Whatever man.

still no smoking gun.In a normal law trial he would be declared innocent because there are no proofs.Only opinions and accusations.'Innocent until proven guilty' still would apply to him

did he change his genes?So now his genes changed and make him a bit faster than Gatlin.Come on.He obviously reduced the dope level after recent scandals
Does anyone know why they are always struggling to fill the stadium? It's weird seeing that medal ceremony with Ohurougu and then with Fraser-Pryce with practically nobody left. :frown:

Always over reacting.

How can he change his genes? Your argument makes no sense. When athletes dope, it's often chemicals which can cause things like excess testosterone production or increasing the number of red blood cells so the blood can transport more oxygen.
If he was doping (which there is no evidence or suggestion he was) then he'd most likely have been caught already. The level of doping doesn't matter, he'd still show up as having a banned substance in his blood/urine work. Think you need to base your accusations on facts.
