Usain Bolt wins Diamond League 100m race in Zurich in 9.90 seconds
After an awful start, the world record holder and Olympic champion Usain Bolt managed to stay ahead of the rest of the field to take first place in the mens 100m at the Diamond League event in Zurich this evening.
The reason I mentioned Drugs is that I think it is unfortunate that you give Bolt airtime. It's Lance Armstrong all over again i.e. how is Bolt beating athletes so easily when these athletes are the best of the world AND are on drugs ?
As David Gillick said "when an athlete sees one of their closest rivals get done there should be more noise. I’m not hearing enough of that noise."
As Bolt has not failed a drugs test then he is clean. There is a presumption of innocence until such time as something happens to suggest otherwise. An opinion is not enough of a reason to not show his results.
As for why he dominates, just look at his height and stride length.
