Lewis had 8.62 long jump in the U20 category... Where do you draw the line?

He was a 200m speciallist until 2007 tbh.

 

What doesn't add up is the Carl Lewis story. I've read several reports IAAF doesn't want to touch the 1984 or 1988 doping file cause it would have blown the history books into the sky. Lewis is lucky Ben Johnson proved to be such an idiot. I still reckon Lewis is the biggest scam there ever was who got away with it and he was lucky it still happened during the 80s. I mean he failed multiple drug tests during the '88 US trials and they swept it under the rug. Unbelievable. The cover up only failed with BALCO & Marion Jones but only because it stretched beyond track & field and there was no way they could cover this up anymore.

 

yeah, if it wasn't for the names of Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire, they would have covered up also that sh*t...I'm pretty sure of that...

 

Luckily, some real superstars (or at least recognized as that by the average US audience) that have nothing to do with Olympic sports saved us and the IOC from another epic coverup...

I didnt see any special results in 200 either.  

 

 

 

Bolt ran the 200m below 20 secs when he was 16, if I remember well...

 

and at the same age won the Junior Worlds in Kingston (2002)...

 

in 2004 (when he was just 18) he was the huge favourite to repeat himself and he was also among the theoretical medal candidates for the Athens Games, but an injury before the Junior Worlds stopped him from competing at both those events...

 

so, yes...he was already an established 200m specialist well before 2008...he was not coming out of nowhere...

 

still, his "mastermind"/mentor being Loren Seagrave, make everything he achieved in his career at least suspect...

Apparently now is almost sure, Alex Schwazer's antidoping test was tampered in Losanna and Alex was clean.

That's a big shame, i'm not a fan of Alex but this is an unprecedented severity
