Reply to comment by GeneralZaroff1 in [Image] Sometimes failure is brought on by oneself. by IanAgate

Doping played a role. In Jamaica anti doping regulations weren’t introduced until after Bolt had won. His coach was caught. His teammates caught. His results are now absurd anomalies on the leaderboards.

Fraud.

If everybody is juicing and hes the fastest of them does that really make him a fraud? Same with Lance. They took away his championships when he was just the best among a bunch of cheaters.

Also why was he not caught if his whole team was?

Yes. Cheating is cheating even if everyone cheats.

(Also, not everyone cheats.)

The purpose of the contest is to reveal the best non-cheating person. Not to give spotlight to cheaters.

If they're all doping he's still the best, by a huge margin. Dude is a specimen regardless of how he may have enhanced his performance.

Tbh just let them all dope, the cream will still rise to the top.
