Jamaican Sprint SuperStar Usain Bolt has slammed critics who claim that he has been using performance enhancement Drugs suspecting that he could be having samples of yamogen, potatosium, banananitrite and boiledumplinium in his blood system.
Fresh off completing his historic gold-medal double at the 2012 London Olympic, Usain Bolt has taken a swipe at American sprinter and legendary runner Carl Lewis.
Lewis—who won five sprint gold medals—had inferred that the fastest man in the world could have a drug link in his past and that only “time will tell” whether or not he is in fact clean and thus the greatest sprinter of all time.
Carl Lewis said,”When people ask me about Usain Bolt, I say he could be the greatest athlete of all time. But for someone to run 10.03 one year and 9.69 the next…If you don’t question that [result] in a sport that has the [drug] reputation that it has right now, you’re a fool. Period.”
Naturally Bolt reacted in defense, saying that he had lost all respect for Lewis after his comments.
Carl Lewis tested positive three times to drugs and his victory in the 1988 Seoul Olympics 100-meter final is considered the dirtiest race of all time, whilst Bolt has never been found guilty in all the drug tests and samples he has given.
London Olympics chief organizer Sebastian Coe said August 9, he was satisfied that double sprint champion Usain Bolt and his Jamaican teammates were being properly drug-tested outside of races.
Coe was dragged into the row that erupted after Bolt said following his 200m victory Thursday he had lost all respect for Carl Lewis because the U.S. sprint legend has doubted the toughness of Jamaica’s drug-testing procedures.
