Everybody today is on drugs. There was an anonymous study of more than 1000 Olympic athletes and 40% said they were doping. And there are some sports where it doesn't make sense. So every medal winner in track in fields is doping
@@Tom-dd5lm Lewis failed three drug tests prior to the 88 US Olympic trials, and should have been disqualified for competing. IOC won't take the medal away because they claim the statute of limitations is three years. That's bullsh_t. IOC stripped Tyler Hamilton eight years after winning his Gold in cycling. But, since it's the US, and track -- IOC doesn't want to touch it.
Carl Lewis when athletes are faster than he was: They're on drugs! drugs!! Carl Lewis when he tested positive for a banned substance: It was a uhhh herbal supplement
+Roberts Rubezis how is speculating that a sensational sprinter is on drugs just because he's not American and getting more attention than Lewis didn't an accolade of his greatness? that's disgraceful. and how is he great if he's a drug cheat himself? hypocrisy right there.
Kwame Amparbeng he is growing spiritualy isnted of us. If you do not understand this than we can not talk further. It will be just waste of time. He is one man of millions who goes to for infinit peace and bliss. Enlightenment
Yeah, and Carl Lewis was doubting Bolt in the 2012 Olympics. And Lewis' statement completely got shut down by Bolt's performance in the 100m, 200m, & 4X100m dashes. LOL
bolt has been doing business since he was 15, his 200M junior record still has not been touched. he is the only junior in history to run under 20 seconds.. ONLY.. so its obvious that he was meant to be the level he is at now
Jameil Forrest Look I know carl lewis took drugs but he didn't mean it like he just took this medicine. But they letted him of and I know your all pisssed of the way he disrespected Usain but that doesn't give you the right to go comment some shit that the whole world knows if your so pissed go say it to his face then
Bolt is a phenom,he has been breaking world records since he was 15 yesrs old as a junior world champion.In case you didnt know, Carl Lewis failed SEVERAL drug tests,including at the US ttials for the Atlanta Olympics and this was covered up by USA Tracks.They only admitted it AFTER Carl retired and it came to light. When interviewed aboit it once, Lewis's reply was " so what,it didnt help me run faster" and claimed it was herbal suppliments.He is a bitter man because as Bolt says, he is forgotten and no one talks sbout him.He is also bitter because he KNOWS bolt is clean and so he had to smear Bolts name to try and tarnish bolts greatness.Ben Johnson himself admitted that when he ws caught taking drugs, in that era, everyone was taking drugs then. It was Carl who outed Ben because he knew he coudnt beat ben even though, he Lewis himself was also on drugs. Remember his reaction and subsequent interviews after ben beat him at the olympics. Its all there.Dont believe me? Go research and see..Carl is a bitter man becsuse he is a cheat who has been outed and forgotten by history.People will always remember Bolt as the G.O.A.T
The potential is there. His best ever 200m time is 19.26, and he came very close to beating Bolt in London, but Blake is still bouncing back from his severe hamstring injury.
Mid 2040s?? U drunk ama beat that shit in the ground at high school champs Jamaica am running 10:23 at age of 13 bolt don't got shit on me even tho he would shit on me in the 100 and 200m
As a Canadian i remember feeling great pride when Ben Johnson was breaking all kinds of records, and feeling like what an accomplishment for a smaller nation compared to the usual suspects. But then when he tested positive, it was such a blow, and at that time the entire world was naive to the entire thing, and so steroids were so taboo to the general public. So it felt deeply embarrassing, but I remember watching Carl Lewis being smug in interviews afterwards, and I swear I could tell, just by the cocky attitude that he was using too. I remember thinking, it that was true, that he was using, how unfair it is,that the US, and Russia don't get caught because they have insiders on the testing, and entire labs devoted to making sure the USA or RUSSIA gets put up in big letters on the screen. And sure enough, we find out later he absolutely was. After Ben Johnson get absolutely got destroyed by the US media, and the entire time the guy they were propping up was likely cheating even more, with better more elaborate cheating systems and insider knowledge of how to get around the testing. So to see Lewis even speak to anything drug related is super annoying, and as I am sure most Canadians feel, you were so magnanimous when you chided Ben and won when he got disqualified and you were taking the entire time. If he had just kept quiet, I would not feel the same, but to cheat and then act like you are holier than though, and better, etc, when you were likely even worse is terribly dishonest and pathetic. So yea, I agree with Bolt 100%.
Correct. Ben Johnson won the dirtiest race in history against a line up juiced to the max. Carl is a bad man for casting a shadow over the sport he cheated in for years. (it's currently 2021 and theres no talk at all of Usain ever juicing, please God it stays that way). Much respect from Ireland 🇮🇪
@@michaeladrian2210 I never said that I could tell he was lying, it has nothing to do with 'looking like he was on drugs', it was to do with the tells some people give when they are in fact basically telling people they are lying when they do it. It is a common human thing to do, to basically give hints to the truth as they lie. And that is how I could tell. Not because of how his belly looked, or all these falsehoods on the internet about telling when someone is on steroids, GH, etc. And my read was I guess spot on, because he has not only admitted it, other people involved have spilled it. And I personally don't care in a sport like running if someone uses or doesn't, as long as the playing field is fair. What isn't cool was the hypocrisy, as proven later. Johnson didn't deserve to have his medal pulled when most people running were on and were not penalized. You have to at least keep the rules consistent. What is worse. Pretending you have to follow the rules, but only bust a few people who are not in the rich boys club, and all the other athletes not in the rich boy club get pulled from the race and shamed. Even when the rich kids drugs tests had shown cheating . If you are not going to charge the rich kids, then don't charge anyone. Otherwise, you are running a police state Olympic farce....
@@100xloading “pretty sure” sure sounds like you must be an ‘authority’ on the matter. I can imagine before anyone makes a big statement like that they have at least done the minimum amount of research. Heck of they even googled ‘karl lewis steroids hypocrisy’ for instance. And took a moment to understand someone like Usain Bolt might have made the comments he did against Lewis before grand standing about how i have done him wrong. I formed an opinion the same as Usain based on the information that has come out since. It was enough to call him a hyocrite at the minimum as Usain said, and from what i have researched, agree with Usain. The information is not hard to find if you take a moment to search for it. I read enough articles from both sides to finally form an opinion before writing the comment i did. At least research it some before making judgements...
I used to love carl lewis... I asked for his autograph when I went to the 92 trials and he yelled at me...no need for that bullshit...it helped me see the type of person he was....he had his day and now his name is no longer used in media so to strike up drama against an amazing athlete as Bolt...it shows how weak carl is...FULL respect for Bolt in the way he handled this :) class act
I ran in the 1996 US Olympic Trials in the 100. My fastest time was 10.17. I broke 10.2 that one time and one time only. I knew it was a stretch to make the finals, but hey, I was hoping for a bust out time. You never know. I got dusted in the semi finals. Leading up to that while after graduating college in 1994, I ran on the circuit. One particular meet Mike Marsh was there. So I’m on the warm up track along with others. I see Mike Marsh. I decided, if I can pick his brain. To my surprise, he was cool as hell. We are their stretching, doing warm up drills, all the show just talking. So I asked him what do I need to do to consistently break that 10.2 barrier. I’m always around 10.22-10.26 every race. I told him my workouts. I told him my lifting refining, my eating refining. Here was his reply. “You gotta find the right guy with the right supplements”. That’s all he said. So I was just slightly confused. I had never even taken vitamins. So I flat out asked. What supplements so I can look into it. His response??? “You didn’t understand me youngin. I said the right GUY with the rift supplements”. Now, when he said that the 2nd time, he made a face as if to say “do you know what I mean now?”. So it hit me he meant finding the right drugs that are not detected. So, me being blunt. I said, you mean roids? He say, “I’m not saying that, but the human body can only be pushed so far without something to help it. No one is natural.” Again, me being blunt I said, “no one? Does that include you?”. He said, “at a time it included me. I’m an elder statesmen now, my time is almost up. But, gold was my dream and there was a time I was willing to give certain things a shot. If it wasn’t on the banned list I would try”. So I said, “even Carl Lewis?”. And his response was , “ Especially him. But he is protected. Let’s just say if I had his guy, I would be suspended. But we all know. My advice to you is if you want it bad enough and you decide to supplement yourself, do your research. All runners have this dream, but you have to decide what you’re willing to pay for it down the line young man.” I will never EVER forget that conversation. It changes my whole perspective on USA sprinting at that time and previous years. It was like a brick hit me. Y’all have to remember, during those days, there weren’t too many breaking that 9.95 range. Only a select few, while others were in that 10 flat range. I never did get “supplements”. At the Triials I ran a 10.28 in the trial round to qualify for the semi’s, then a 10.31 in the semis. Like my man Mike Marsh said, I didn’t want it bad enough, but I was happy with what I did. Sure I could have run better in the semis, but I did what I did.
Athletics was so shady in the 80s and 90s. The former communist countries doped at a national level, the west at an individual level. Ben Johnson was just a fall guy. I feel sorry for Linford Christie. He was the only one with no drug stain from that final
Track and field is so corrupt and has always been! I’m not going to point finger but whenever a sprint record is broken by more than a tenth of a second, that runner isn’t natural! I’m a firm believer that both men and women take PEDs! The proof is right in front of our eyes but most don’t want to believe it. I was personally disgusted by what I saw in the track events.
@@tondchopa7316 Actually no. Linford was positive on pseudoephedrine when running 200m in Seoul. WR holder at the time, Calvin Smith (100m bronze medalist in the end) was the only one who never failed anything.
@@wloonie Wow. I didn't know that. So all the clean guys were given the wrong end of the stick. I hate cheaters but they always seem to be ahead of the testing curve
@@humanstation8193 He is clearly talented and a great sprinter. But even if wasn't taking PEDs illegaly it was leaked that he has medical exemptions for PEDs. And considering the almost non existing doping controls in Jamaica and the fact that every single one of the Top 30 100m times has been convicted of doping except Bolt it is more likely than not that he was also taking some form of PEDs
@@myisathletics3433 Yea, but how many GOLD MEDALS AND MULUIPLE WORLD RECORDS AT THE SAME TIME does lewis have. Do you see now why he is envious of Bolt.
@@Tom-dd5lm honestly didn't remember who he was until I saw this video a while ago🤣😂🤣😂. People outside of America not thinking about Carl Lewis. You think we were trying to buy Wheeties boxes with your athletes on them😂🤣😂
People do your research, Bolt has been running for over 10 years and check his margin when he wins. This young man didn't appear 1 day and win the Olympics, years and years of training at the junior level. Also research Carl Lewis on this you tube to see his history in running.
***** why you hating thou, is it because he keeps beating the americans , stfu you saying bolt overachieved thats jus so stupid to say, goes to show how hating some of you Americans are, sum of you americans are just too jealous. So why should Bolt be banned from athletics because you claim he cheated
@TK. Yes he was. Car Lewis ran for Willing to High School in New Jersey, a school and town which was known for its track and field dominance during a time when the black family structure (Mom and Dad) was sill in place. Thus the discipline was there. Do your research...
listen, sports is such a huge part of the jamaican culture; since they start walking they start running; seriously. americans hate when they not winning. marion jones and that lewis robbed so many other athletes out of gold medal that they just cant grasp that someone can be as fast as bolt. given how they test people now, bolt would be nuts to even try anything. he;'s at the top and people are just waiting for him to fall. God bless him
@Joe Bloggs If you think the success of Jamaican athletes a fluke, you're mistaken. Before Bolt, Asafa and Blake, there were three born and bred Jamaicans representing other countries who won three consecutive 100 m Olympic finals- Ben Johnson (1988), Linford Christie (1992) and Donovan Bailey (1996). They represented mainland countries and were still successful, so yes they did represent mainland countries and hence could not have gotten away with anything according to you. That's just Jamaican excellence for you. Just so you know your "mainland countries cannot" statement is BS. Lance Armstrong- Never tested positive during his superhuman career, confesses to drug use after retiring, Marion Jones- Never tested positive during her superhuman career, confesses to drug use after retiring, Carl Lewis- tested positive for 3 stimulants at the 1988 US Olympic Trials, still allowed to compete. Mainland countries especially the USADA get away with a lot if you ask me, but you wouldn't know because you don't like Jamaica.
@Joe Bloggs Idgaf what you or Victor Conte says. Your population argument falls apart by virtue of the fact that Jamaicans have been winning Olympic medals representing these mainland countries since the 1980s (Canada and Great Britain), so using your logic, let's say Bolt and Powell got away with everything, does that change the fact that 3 consecutive Olympic champions, born and bred Jamaicans didn't. Not to mention the fact that Jamaican domestic athletes have been winning Olympic medals since 1948 and even equalled the 100 m WR in 1971 and the 200 m WR in 1976. Don't comment on what you don't know about. Even the Olympic record which Bolt broke in 2008 was held by Donovan Bailey, a Jamaican representing Canada. You be quiet f****ng a***ole (I'm only censoring this since You Tube keeps deleting my comment).You do realize there is such a thing as culture right? Track and field is to Jamaica what football is to Brazil or what cricket is to India. Your population argument has zero logic when track and field is not as major a sport in USA where there is basketball, baseball, American football, ice hockey and the like or any other country as it is in Jamaica. For one, Jamaica has hardly another sport which could detract from track and field, only football and cricket, secondly Jamaica's population is really small, so it is really easy to identify a talent pool. Unlike the USA, every Jamaican child takes track and field seriously at least once in their lives. At recess, Jamaican kids literally line up to race each other especially during track season, so it's easy for us to get into track from an early age. By your own retarded logic, during the Six Day War, Israel with a population of 2.7 million at the time should have lost to Syria, Jordan and Egypt who attacked simultaneously and had a total population of 40 million and yet Israel won convincingly and is yet to lose a war to this day. You can say Jamaica is doping all you want, but your argument makes 0 sense and just shows how dense and impressionable you are.
@@tajaun3467 Bigman, don’t argue with idiots. Jamaica has been winning medals in the olympics since 1948. Don’t argue with RUclips geniuses especially those that listen to Victor Conte.
@Joe Bloggs Their drug testing is a joke. They even admit it. Look at one woman who has been running for a very long time and look how she looks now (Tokyo) versus when she looked when she was younger. It makes no sense. I’m not saying the USA doesn’t have its share of cheaters but when a country is doing a half a**ed job of checking what do you think will happen.
Carl Lewis failed multiple drug tests though out his career. He even failed a drug test at the Sol Olympics in which Ben Johnson was disgraced. Yet Carl's failed drug test was brushed under the carpet.....hmmm, I wonder why!
he was dopped with mangoes and other fruits, that's illegal and unfair because in a tropical country he had access to more fruits than people in temperate climates
That, and Bolt trains exceptionally hard. I think that due to his stature and ability people often say that he's a natural talent, which is true. But hard work will always beat talent if talent doesn't work hard. After all, not every bloke in the world who is 6'5" can run 9mins50-something over 100m.
Hard work and talent goes hand in hand. Hard work will not beat talent if you are born with a gift. What your saying is talent alone won’t succeed…..the hard work is normal in sports.
Carl Lewis please keep Usain Bolt's name out of your mouth. Bolt is recognized and loved all over the world. He fills stadiums. Please take several seats HATER on an anthill.
bolt has more fans who stand by him than lewis could ever dream of in every country of the world it hurts Carl that bolt has more fans in the USA than he ever had
+i am me Every elite athlete uses some kind of drugs. It's the simple truth. Grow up Note: I'm not from USA. Note 2: Usain Bolt is with Yohan Blake my favorite athlete.
He is lashing out at the world because his dishonest guilty conscence is weighing him down and has made him cynical..,in his post drug riddled mind everyone is guilty and not deserving of their trophys or records...what's baffling is his credibilty is shot to sh** and he has the nerve and audacity to critique other athletes carl lewis is toxic,if he really cared abt the sport,then he should start by returning all his ill gotten trophys and have his drug assisted records nullified...poser🤫🤔🤨🙄😌😔😪😳🧐🥴😖😤😠😡🤬
Usain entered the 2004 Olympics with 2 unbroken Junior records and they are still standing today. Age 15 400m record of 45.5 after 9 months of intense training. The following year a 200m record of 19.93 that left Boldon in awe, every race following is competition at age 15 Usain time was lowered. Jamaica was so impress that they send him to the 2004 olympics at age 17, but an arm injury and inexperience he did not make it to the final. Usain was the fastest boy at his primary school and that is age 12. Jamaica do track as young as age 4 at the kindergarten level. Question did Carl Lewis had any questions track records as a teenager? Any of Carl Lewis records created as a teenager still standing. If Carl Lewis was a track star or a fan he would know that coaches come yearly to Jamaica to scout our athletes and that Jamaica have strong presence at the Penn's Relay with numerous records.
Carl Lewis is a bitter ex wife. He can't stand the fact that he's not in the spotlight. All the same, he who feels it knows it. He's so adamant that people must be doping to beat him, stands to reason, he must have been doping himself😂🤣😂
His 200m Junior record finally went down. Point still stands though, Carl Lewis is nothing compared to Bolt, he never even "really" held the 100m WR, Ben Johnson did at 9.79, but they banned him even though Lewis was also on drugs...
As great as Bolt was his records will one day be broken because humans keep evolving and improving so something like a 9.3 100m will eventually happen even if it takes fifty or more years.
@@robert7567 No doubt. It would be ridiculous and selfish to say otherwise. Any champ who continues to think he is and always will be the greatest is an idiot at best and self centred at worst. Carl Lewis is certainly the latter! A real dick. Never seen a sprinter look across as many times as when Johnson destroyed him in '88 in Seoul. Ben slowed down at the end in his 9.79. With track and shoe advances, plus if he had ran through the end harder, I do think Johnson would be right up there with any top guys BEHIND Bolt. My view, Bolt was in his own league, and then it's super close between Gay, Johnson, Powell, Gatlin and Blake. Although...the ONLY time Bolt ran that nobody has approached was the single 9.58. His 9.69 is matched by several runners, and Powell never fulfilled his potential.
What is known should not be discussed........ Carl Lewis should fall back and chill out with negative.......Carl Lewis is a legend just stay in your lane..
In women's 34 years has passed but still Flojo is the lead 100m 10.49 200m 21.34 . In men's 13 years has passed but still Bolt is the lead 100m 9.58 200m 19.19. The Bottom line is there are some records that are Brilliant Beyond Compare. I think not man or woman can break those records. Flojo and Bolt Big Up I repeat one more time Big Up.
BOB BEAMONS GREAT LEAP AT ALTITUDE WAS ONLY BEATEN BY A DOPED CARL LEWIS AND THE OTHER GUY I BELIEVE STILL NUMBER 3 ALL TIMEAND THAT WAS 1968 53 Yrs ago and science ofdoping wasnt around at the level now
@Lervon That’s a generational thing. In the 80’s Carl was global; you can’t help but be when you star in a sport like T&F/athletics, which is bigger outside the US. Perhaps more importantly, he’s a major reason why today’s track stars can be multi millionaires. Carl used his influence to help professionalize the sport.
Usain...I am American. Having said that....you are one of the greatest sprinters to do it....as your accomplishments have proven that. When it comes to Carl Lewis...he is the greatest track and field athlete ever...due to him winning 4 gold medals in 1 Olympics - like Jessie Owens and also with the fierce competition that he faced during his day. Nowadays - there is really only 2 or 3 real challenges to Usain Bolt. Also - Carl's longevity is amazing - in a sport where sprinters don't last long. This guy was still winning races in his 30's. Now - when Usain gets in his 30's, still wins world titles and starts long jumping - so he can win 4 gold medals in 1 Olympics - we can talk. Carl Lewis will always be the standard - and that has nothing with being am American. Jamaica has produced some of the greatest sprinters the world has ever seen - there is no doubt about that. Cheers.
+miamiorlando1 I am born in the UK to Jamaican parents. However, I was happy for Carl Lewis, Michael Johnson etc and I didn't care where they were from when they were winning, I admired them all. But I find many Americans are very jealous and don't like the thought of the Jamaican's dominating sprints at the moment. Furthermore Drug testing is more vigorous now than it was back then,. Due to this factor, I would hang fire in terms of the bold statement that Carl Lewis is the greatest track and field athlete ever, bearing in mind that it is harder to cheat these days. Further more Marion Jones went to jail, Flo Jo is dead, Tyson Gay just come off a ban and Justin Gatlin has been done for cheating twice. #usainboltisalegend
Here's the thing... If three of Jamaica's sprinters have been busted for doping, and two of USA's fastest have been busted, and Bolt is able to beat them all, then Carl Lewis's suspicion is accurate. And if Bolt is clean, then let's allow him to use whatever everyone else is using and see how fast he can really run.
Solve this equation yourself . It is very easy . If all those great Athletes you meantioned used drugs and should Bolt be allowed to use the same drug or any drug and still beat them , then what has Bolt been using ?
Carl Lewis was one of the biggest cheaters in the history of track and field, so of course he was going to think that others were going to have to cheat, just like he did!
Just so glad Lewis never got the WR for long jump. It would simply be another drug fueled record. I know the massage therapist for Lewis for the high performance years. And I quote "When a person's muscle density changes that suddenly, you know they are on the juice." This from his very own therapist.
@@Haraka111 See the documentary, "9.79" where the Olympic Doctor indicated he tested positive but was given a pass by the USA Olympic committee... It's here on youtube as well

@@Haraka111 The USOC was pretty much proved of covering up 114 failed tests between 88 and 2000.... think that says it all. 80s they were all using pretty freely, 90s similar but quicker clearance times peds, early to late 2000s onwards designer peds, micro dosing, and TUE abuse to effectively cheat. It would be delusional to think at the very top level where it's nothing other than the best of the best genetics that are so so closely matched, that if just one is using and avoiding detection, then he/she will win, but what you really end up with is the best genetics combined with best drugs protocols winning in most athletic events, especially speed, power and endurance events. Nowadays the biological passport can be beaten easily, and when there's so much at stake, I assure people will cheat. I admit its just assumption, but Lewis's competitiveness combined with that era almost assures he was using. All else being equal, like work ethics ect, a natural genetic freak will 100% loose to a juiced genetic freak, although admittedly there's two sides to the genetics part, one being suitability for a given event, the other is the genetic response to the drugs, but at that time I'd be fairly confident the 100m Olympic finalists are all dirty at certain times of the season.
Lewis took drugs and struggled to get within 3 tenths of a second of Bolt's times. What was Lewis's best time???. I think it was something like 9.86 seconds. Bolt has run 9.58.
CaneFu Don’t you even keep up on history?! He is Carl Lewis! I am sure he is still faster than any mortal man! He is Carl Lewis man! He races horses 🐎! He has seen planes ✈️ flying over and started running 🏃 and beat planes! He is Carl Lewis man!! Even once a reverend challenged Lewis to a run against the power of God 💥!

Lewis is full of it because Tyson Gay and Gatlin popped positive for shit too...I think he's just jealous that Usain took his crown as the greatest sprinter
All the runners in the 100m final in London passed their drugs test and all of them have never failed a drugs test in their whole careers apart from Gatlin but he has changed and is a respectable athlete. So There's No Point Saying They're Taking Drugs If None Of Them Have Failed!!!!
At least Bolt actually won ALL of his Medals and World Records on the Track, unlike Carl Lewis lol. Carl Lewis was handed a Gold Medal in 1988, and handed a couple World Records as well. I'm sorry, but aside from the Long Jump, Bolt was a better athlete than Carl Lewis.
I think Lewis is just mad/jealous because Bolt is an outstanding athlete. And he's trying to find the imperfection in Bolt because he's mad and because he knows Bolt is the best.
Usain has nothing left to prove, there is almost no motivation for him right now,secondly he doesnt exert his energy running great races all year round & pushing all that effort. He runs when he needs to defend his titles,that pretty much it. He already wants to retire.Hes already broken all the records for his races, not once but twice. what exactly would he be pushing harder for at this point?
If you're gonna do something wrong do it right Bolt may or may not be doping but we know Carl was for a fact so Carl just don't be a hypocrite and respect greatness.
Whatever he takes? He did not become a beast in 2008,he was a beast before. Name me another 15 year old athlete who without the aid of major sponsorship or training funding was so good he was considered he gets labeled the 'lightning Bolt'.Name me another 17 year old who has run 19.93 seconds in the 200m and leaves his rivals gobsmacked.Name me another 17yr old who smashes the record to pieces so that the commentators of a race don't remember who came second.
We are supposed to believe Bolt ran 9.58 and 19.19 clean and everyone else was on drugs which would mean if everyone else without drugs would be running about 9.5 and 19.85
Carl is really an American because Carl was never caught with steroids or exogenous testosterone does not mean he never took anything, Marion Jones was tested many time and never test positive but she was doping, I heard person argue that what he test positive for is not on the ban list, but it was at some point Americans would find excuses for people like Carl Lewis
You have waited so patiently for the past 8 years. Well today is the day that your patience pays off big time. Today, you're getting a much deserved thumbs up. Congratulations.
like him or not, what Carl Lewis did for T&F is the same as what Magic and Bird did for the NBA. Especially in America, track athletes were not making much money. Carl came in demanding appearance fees and endorsements. Bolt like Michael Jordan are bigger names and better athletes, but they took over and made more popular what the others put in motion. Let us not forget Ben Johnson either, both he and Carl brought attention to T&F on a yearly basis, and not just the Olympics. For the sake of all TF fans, we better all hope Bolt is clean.
They both brought attention and scandal in equal measure. Both were liars and cheaters, both were arrogant and self-centered and both gave sprinting a bad name. It took Bolt to resort the reputation and prestige of the 100 meter sprint and bring back all the attention. So. Carl Lewis of, all people, should not be talking, never mind criticizing.
Carl Lewis,Ben Johnson and Usain Bolt are actually all incredible athletes Carl Lewis Long jump distances were insano, sprinting has not had super humans like Bolt now since those days.the only others that came close as other world athletes were Linford and Donovan Bailey who is undereated
Actually the fact is that when you make accusations it is only fair that you have proof.So until someone proves that Usain and other Jamaican sprinters are doping please do not insult their talent and hardwork by suggesting they are on something.Surely a 15 yr old who becomes the youngest junior to win a 200m and a 17yrld who breaks the world record with 19.93 decimating his competitors by winning races by huge margins like Usain has done,does not need to be doping.
Let's not forget what that old man said to the Harvard students that went to Jamaica to dig up the truth about Bolt,and his own words were < outsiders have no idea what this boys are taking so undetectable stuff that no one can ever find out.I never forget that.
Usain escaped getting caught around 2008 to 2009. He has now come off any gear after his team mates got caught. That's why you aren't seeing him come even close to 9.58 or 19.19 anymore. He has to rely on his own talent now. And that's not guaranteed to win every time.
PROJECT DX whats your nationality? Only Americans will say Bolt is on drugs or was on drugs, stop the hate, you have no proof that he ever took any ban substance, so how can you say that he escaped getting caught. you pathetic u r a wasteman
PROJECT DX he jogged the last 40m of the 200m final today to 19.55sec . Had he sprinted those 40m he woulda got at least 19.3sec . Your theory falln apart bro.
If you think about it, Carl ran races to win and move to the next race. He wasn't trying to break records. Run the tapes. He had a plan. Longevity. Otherwise I love bolt and he's my idol for dominating with style. Nothing against Carl but they had two different goals. Peace
Ben Johnson said it himself, late 80s, we were all on drugs!
Just speculating, that might be because he was busted and that he wanted to claim that his world record really was the world record
The original "Me Too" 😈
There was a sports illustrated piece where they spoke about how Carl Lewis failed and the usatf covered it up
Everybody today is on drugs. There was an anonymous study of more than 1000 Olympic athletes and 40% said they were doping. And there are some sports where it doesn't make sense. So every medal winner in track in fields is doping
@@Tom-dd5lm Lewis failed three drug tests prior to the 88 US Olympic trials, and should have been disqualified for competing.
IOC won't take the medal away because they claim the statute of limitations is three years. That's bullsh_t. IOC stripped Tyler Hamilton eight years after winning his Gold in cycling. But, since it's the US, and track -- IOC doesn't want to touch it.
Carl Lewis when athletes are faster than he was: They're on drugs! drugs!!
Carl Lewis when he tested positive for a banned substance: It was a uhhh herbal supplement

Bolt is a phenom,he has been breaking world records since he was 15 yesrs old as a junior world champion.In case you didnt know, Carl Lewis failed SEVERAL drug tests,including at the US ttials for the Atlanta Olympics and this was covered up by USA Tracks.They only admitted it AFTER Carl retired and it came to light. When interviewed aboit it once, Lewis's reply was " so what,it didnt help me run faster" and claimed it was herbal suppliments.He is a bitter man because as Bolt says, he is forgotten and no one talks sbout him.He is also bitter because he KNOWS bolt is clean and so he had to smear Bolts name to try and tarnish bolts greatness.Ben Johnson himself admitted that when he ws caught taking drugs, in that era, everyone was taking drugs then. It was Carl who outed Ben because he knew he coudnt beat ben even though, he Lewis himself was also on drugs. Remember his reaction and subsequent interviews after ben beat him at the olympics. Its all there.Dont believe me? Go research and see..Carl is a bitter man becsuse he is a cheat who has been outed and forgotten by history.People will always remember Bolt as the G.O.A.T

As a Canadian i remember feeling great pride when Ben Johnson was breaking all kinds of records, and feeling like what an accomplishment for a smaller nation compared to the usual suspects.
But then when he tested positive, it was such a blow, and at that time the entire world was naive to the entire thing, and so steroids were so taboo to the general public. So it felt deeply embarrassing, but I remember watching Carl Lewis being smug in
interviews afterwards, and I swear I could tell, just by the cocky attitude that he was using too. I remember thinking, it that was true, that he was using, how unfair it is,that the US, and Russia don't get caught because they have insiders on the testing, and entire labs devoted to making sure the USA or RUSSIA gets put up in big letters on the screen. And sure enough, we find out later he absolutely was. After Ben Johnson get absolutely got destroyed by the US media, and the entire time the guy they were propping up was likely cheating even more, with better more elaborate cheating systems and insider knowledge of how to get around the testing.
So to see Lewis even speak to anything drug related is super annoying, and as I am sure most Canadians feel, you were so magnanimous when you chided Ben and won when he got disqualified and you were taking the entire time. If he had just kept quiet, I would not feel the same, but to cheat and then act like you are holier than though, and better, etc, when you were likely even worse is terribly dishonest and pathetic.
So yea, I agree with Bolt 100%.
Correct. Ben Johnson won the dirtiest race in history against a line up juiced to the max. Carl is a bad man for casting a shadow over the sport he cheated in for years. (it's currently 2021 and theres no talk at all of Usain ever juicing, please God it stays that way). Much respect from Ireland 🇮🇪
Johnson still cheated. I didnt know you only had to "look" at an athlete and "tell he uses drugs"....
@@michaeladrian2210 I never said that I could tell he was lying, it has nothing to do with 'looking like he was on drugs', it was to do with the tells some people give when they are in fact basically telling people they are lying when they do it. It is a common human thing to do, to basically give hints to the truth as they lie. And that is how I could tell. Not because of how his belly looked, or all these falsehoods on the internet about telling when someone is on steroids, GH, etc.
And my read was I guess spot on, because he has not only admitted it, other people involved have spilled it. And I personally don't care in a sport like running if someone uses or doesn't, as long as the playing field is fair. What isn't cool was the hypocrisy, as proven later. Johnson didn't deserve to have his medal pulled when most people running were on and were not penalized. You have to at least keep the rules consistent.
What is worse. Pretending you have to follow the rules, but only bust a few people who are not in the rich boys club, and all the other athletes not in the rich boy club get pulled from the race and shamed. Even when the rich kids drugs tests had shown cheating
.
If you are not going to charge the rich kids, then don't charge anyone. Otherwise, you are running a police state Olympic farce....
I frikking hate Carl Lewis. Karma is a bitch. The way he treated Ben Johnson the hippocrite.
@@100xloading “pretty sure” sure sounds like you must be an ‘authority’ on the matter. I can imagine before anyone makes a big statement like that they have at least done the minimum amount of research. Heck of they even googled ‘karl lewis steroids hypocrisy’ for instance. And took a moment to understand someone like Usain Bolt might have made the comments he did against Lewis before grand standing about how i have done him wrong.
I formed an opinion the same as Usain based on the information that has come out since. It was enough to call him a hyocrite at the minimum as Usain said, and from what i have researched, agree with Usain. The information is not hard to find if you take a moment to search for it. I read enough articles from both sides to finally form an opinion before writing the comment i did. At least research it some before making judgements...
I used to love carl lewis... I asked for his autograph when I went to the 92 trials and he yelled at me...no need for that bullshit...it helped me see the type of person he was....he had his day and now his name is no longer used in media so to strike up drama against an amazing athlete as Bolt...it shows how weak carl is...FULL respect for Bolt in the way he handled this :) class act
Carl Lewis's sprinting records may all have been broken, but his world record for hypocrisy will never be bettered.
I ran in the 1996 US Olympic Trials in the 100. My fastest time was 10.17. I broke 10.2 that one time and one time only. I knew it was a stretch to make the finals, but hey, I was hoping for a bust out time. You never know. I got dusted in the semi finals.
Leading up to that while after graduating college in 1994, I ran on the circuit. One particular meet Mike Marsh was there. So I’m on the warm up track along with others. I see Mike Marsh. I decided, if I can pick his brain. To my surprise, he was cool as hell. We are their stretching, doing warm up drills, all the show just talking.
So I asked him what do I need to do to consistently break that 10.2 barrier. I’m always around 10.22-10.26 every race. I told him my workouts. I told him my lifting refining, my eating refining. Here was his reply.
“You gotta find the right guy with the right supplements”. That’s all he said.
So I was just slightly confused. I had never even taken vitamins. So I flat out asked. What supplements so I can look into it. His response??? “You didn’t understand me youngin. I said the right GUY with the rift supplements”.
Now, when he said that the 2nd time, he made a face as if to say “do you know what I mean now?”. So it hit me he meant finding the right drugs that are not detected.
So, me being blunt. I said, you mean roids? He say, “I’m not saying that, but the human body can only be pushed so far without something to help it. No one is natural.”
Again, me being blunt I said, “no one? Does that include you?”. He said, “at a time it included me. I’m an elder statesmen now, my time is almost up. But, gold was my dream and there was a time I was willing to give certain things a shot. If it wasn’t on the banned list I would try”.
So I said, “even Carl Lewis?”. And his response was , “ Especially him. But he is protected. Let’s just say if I had his guy, I would be suspended. But we all know. My advice to you is if you want it bad enough and you decide to supplement yourself, do your research. All runners have this dream, but you have to decide what you’re willing to pay for it down the line young man.”
I will never EVER forget that conversation. It changes my whole perspective on USA sprinting at that time and previous years. It was like a brick hit me. Y’all have to remember, during those days, there weren’t too many breaking that 9.95 range. Only a select few, while others were in that 10 flat range. I never did get “supplements”. At the Triials I ran a 10.28 in the trial round to qualify for the semi’s, then a 10.31 in the semis. Like my man Mike Marsh said, I didn’t want it bad enough, but I was happy with what I did. Sure I could have run better in the semis, but I did what I did.
Athletics was so shady in the 80s and 90s. The former communist countries doped at a national level, the west at an individual level. Ben Johnson was just a fall guy. I feel sorry for Linford Christie. He was the only one with no drug stain from that final
Track and field is so corrupt and has always been! I’m not going to point finger but whenever a sprint record is broken by more than a tenth of a second, that runner isn’t natural! I’m a firm believer that both men and women take PEDs! The proof is right in front of our eyes but most don’t want to believe it. I was personally disgusted by what I saw in the track events.
u should post a video bro
@@tondchopa7316 Actually no. Linford was positive on pseudoephedrine when running 200m in Seoul. WR holder at the time, Calvin Smith (100m bronze medalist in the end) was the only one who never failed anything.
@@wloonie Wow. I didn't know that. So all the clean guys were given the wrong end of the stick. I hate cheaters but they always seem to be ahead of the testing curve

@@LM-vs1ip would you consider Bolt having done? Body type, breaking Junior WR's early and not sudden spirts ...?
@@humanstation8193 He is clearly talented and a great sprinter. But even if wasn't taking PEDs illegaly it was leaked that he has medical exemptions for PEDs. And considering the almost non existing doping controls in Jamaica and the fact that every single one of the Top 30 100m times has been convicted of doping except Bolt it is more likely than not that he was also taking some form of PEDs

God bless him
@Joe Bloggs If you think the success of Jamaican athletes a fluke, you're mistaken. Before Bolt, Asafa and Blake, there were three born and bred Jamaicans representing other countries who won three consecutive 100 m Olympic finals- Ben Johnson (1988), Linford Christie (1992) and Donovan Bailey (1996). They represented mainland countries and were still successful, so yes they did represent mainland countries and hence could not have gotten away with anything according to you. That's just Jamaican excellence for you.
Just so you know your "mainland countries cannot" statement is BS. Lance Armstrong- Never tested positive during his superhuman career, confesses to drug use after retiring, Marion Jones- Never tested positive during her superhuman career, confesses to drug use after retiring, Carl Lewis- tested positive for 3 stimulants at the 1988 US Olympic Trials, still allowed to compete. Mainland countries especially the USADA get away with a lot if you ask me, but you wouldn't know because you don't like Jamaica.
@Joe Bloggs Idgaf what you or Victor Conte says. Your population argument falls apart by virtue of the fact that Jamaicans have been winning Olympic medals representing these mainland countries since the 1980s (Canada and Great Britain), so using your logic, let's say Bolt and Powell got away with everything, does that change the fact that 3 consecutive Olympic champions, born and bred Jamaicans didn't. Not to mention the fact that Jamaican domestic athletes have been winning Olympic medals since 1948 and even equalled the 100 m WR in 1971 and the 200 m WR in 1976. Don't comment on what you don't know about. Even the Olympic record which Bolt broke in 2008 was held by Donovan Bailey, a Jamaican representing Canada.
You be quiet f****ng a***ole (I'm only censoring this since You Tube keeps deleting my comment).You do realize there is such a thing as culture right? Track and field is to Jamaica what football is to Brazil or what cricket is to India. Your population argument has zero logic when track and field is not as major a sport in USA where there is basketball, baseball, American football, ice hockey and the like or any other country as it is in Jamaica. For one, Jamaica has hardly another sport which could detract from track and field, only football and cricket, secondly Jamaica's population is really small, so it is really easy to identify a talent pool. Unlike the USA, every Jamaican child takes track and field seriously at least once in their lives. At recess, Jamaican kids literally line up to race each other especially during track season, so it's easy for us to get into track from an early age.
By your own retarded logic, during the Six Day War, Israel with a population of 2.7 million at the time should have lost to Syria, Jordan and Egypt who attacked simultaneously and had a total population of 40 million and yet Israel won convincingly and is yet to lose a war to this day. You can say Jamaica is doping all you want, but your argument makes 0 sense and just shows how dense and impressionable you are.

Look at one woman who has been running for a very long time and look how she looks now (Tokyo) versus when she looked when she was younger. It makes no sense. I’m not saying the USA doesn’t have its share of cheaters but when a country is doing a half a**ed job of checking what do you think will happen.

The following year a 200m record of 19.93 that left Boldon in awe, every race following is competition at age 15 Usain time was lowered.
Jamaica was so impress that they send him to the 2004 olympics at age 17, but an arm injury and inexperience he did not make it to the final.
Usain was the fastest boy at his primary school and that is age 12.
Jamaica do track as young as age 4 at the kindergarten level.
Question did Carl Lewis had any questions track records as a teenager?
Any of Carl Lewis records created as a teenager still standing.
If Carl Lewis was a track star or a fan he would know that coaches come yearly to Jamaica to scout our athletes and that Jamaica have strong presence at the Penn's Relay with numerous records.
Spot on brother.

His 200m Junior record finally went down.
Point still stands though, Carl Lewis is nothing compared to Bolt, he never even "really" held the 100m WR, Ben Johnson did at 9.79, but they banned him even though Lewis was also on drugs...
Ben Johnson is the GOAT.
Its our natural ground provisions, that are grown NATURALLY in Jamaica.
Yam, casava, dasheen, and white rum.
As great as Bolt was his records will one day be broken because humans keep evolving and improving so something like a 9.3 100m will eventually happen even if it takes fifty or more years.
I don’t think humans are evolving dude? Just a bigger gene pool and more opportunity, and SCIENCE is evolving (certainly shoes and tracks!).
Running a 100m in 9.3 seconds is drastically faster than his already all time record 9.58…..
with crispr technology you will get superhumans
To be fair, Bolt has gone on the record to say he’d like his record to be broken because it keeps the sport interesting.
@@robert7567 No doubt. It would be ridiculous and selfish to say otherwise. Any champ who continues to think he is and always will be the greatest is an idiot at best and self centred at worst. Carl Lewis is certainly the latter! A real dick. Never seen a sprinter look across as many times as when Johnson destroyed him in '88 in Seoul.
Ben slowed down at the end in his 9.79. With track and shoe advances, plus if he had ran through the end harder, I do think Johnson would be right up there with any top guys BEHIND Bolt.
My view, Bolt was in his own league, and then it's super close between Gay, Johnson, Powell, Gatlin and Blake. Although...the ONLY time Bolt ran that nobody has approached was the single 9.58. His 9.69 is matched by several runners, and Powell never fulfilled his potential.
What is known should not be discussed........ Carl Lewis should fall back and chill out with negative.......Carl Lewis is a legend just stay in your lane..
i've got no respect for carl lewis either after these comments
Lewis is Salty because he himself ended up getting caught with banned substances in his blood.
When did Carl Lewis get caught with substance in his body?

@Lervon That’s a generational thing. In the 80’s Carl was global; you can’t help but be when you star in a sport like T&F/athletics, which is bigger outside the US. Perhaps more importantly, he’s a major reason why today’s track stars can be multi millionaires. Carl used his influence to help professionalize the sport.
He was a big deal 100m 200m and long jump winner
he was a very big deal! but he should know when his time is up!
Carl has plenty of dirty tests back in his prime. They just covered them up because he was the face of US Track and Field at that time
Usain...I am American. Having said that....you are one of the greatest sprinters to do it....as your accomplishments have proven that. When it comes to Carl Lewis...he is the greatest track and field athlete ever...due to him winning 4 gold medals in 1 Olympics - like Jessie Owens and also with the fierce competition that he faced during his day. Nowadays - there is really only 2 or 3 real challenges to Usain Bolt. Also - Carl's longevity is amazing - in a sport where sprinters don't last long. This guy was still winning races in his 30's. Now - when Usain gets in his 30's, still wins world titles and starts long jumping - so he can win 4 gold medals in 1 Olympics - we can talk. Carl Lewis will always be the standard - and that has nothing with being am American. Jamaica has produced some of the greatest sprinters the world has ever seen - there is no doubt about that. Cheers.
+miamiorlando1 I am born in the UK to Jamaican parents. However, I was happy for Carl Lewis, Michael Johnson etc and I didn't care where they were from when they were winning, I admired them all. But I find many Americans are very jealous and don't like the thought of the Jamaican's dominating sprints at the moment. Furthermore Drug testing is more vigorous now than it was back then,. Due to this factor, I would hang fire in terms of the bold statement that Carl Lewis is the greatest track and field athlete ever, bearing in mind that it is harder to cheat these days. Further more Marion Jones went to jail, Flo Jo is dead, Tyson Gay just come off a ban and Justin Gatlin has been done for cheating twice. #usainboltisalegend
Well let's see...there was a few less eastern block countries present at the 84 Olympics when Carl "dominated the competition"
Here's the thing... If three of Jamaica's sprinters have been busted for doping, and two of USA's fastest have been busted, and Bolt is able to beat them all, then Carl Lewis's suspicion is accurate. And if Bolt is clean, then let's allow him to use whatever everyone else is using and see how fast he can really run.
They test him for a reason.
Solve this equation yourself . It is very easy . If all those great Athletes you meantioned used drugs and should Bolt be allowed to use the same drug or any drug and still beat them , then what has Bolt been using ?
Carl Lewis was one of the biggest cheaters in the history of track and field, so of course he was going to think that others were going to have to cheat, just like he did!
Just so glad Lewis never got the WR for long jump. It would simply be another drug fueled record. I know the massage therapist for Lewis for the high performance years.
And I quote "When a person's muscle density changes that suddenly, you know they are on the juice." This from his very own therapist.
Yet Carl Lewis kept all of his medals and Ben Johnson was dragged through the mud.
Yup... Carl "Princess" Lewis... Ran Dirty for years !!
@@alexlevy322 innocent to prove and guilty Carl Lewis took drug tests like everybody else and passed ... So stop bro.. making yourself look bad
@@Haraka111 See the documentary, "9.79" where the Olympic Doctor indicated he tested positive but was given a pass by the USA Olympic committee... It's here on youtube as well
@@alexlevy322 bro you're reaching for things... The US Olympic committee cannot give you a pass... Come on man you sound delusional... If you say he failed a drug test in 1988 Carl Lewis but had an excuse that the iaaf accepted ...you are correct but to say that the US committee did not charge him.. the US committee don't have that power.... oh man come on man that sounds crazy stop that bro you better than that
@@Haraka111 The USOC was pretty much proved of covering up 114 failed tests between 88 and 2000.... think that says it all. 80s they were all using pretty freely, 90s similar but quicker clearance times peds, early to late 2000s onwards designer peds, micro dosing, and TUE abuse to effectively cheat. It would be delusional to think at the very top level where it's nothing other than the best of the best genetics that are so so closely matched, that if just one is using and avoiding detection, then he/she will win, but what you really end up with is the best genetics combined with best drugs protocols winning in most athletic events, especially speed, power and endurance events. Nowadays the biological passport can be beaten easily, and when there's so much at stake, I assure people will cheat. I admit its just assumption, but Lewis's competitiveness combined with that era almost assures he was using. All else being equal, like work ethics ect, a natural genetic freak will 100% loose to a juiced genetic freak, although admittedly there's two sides to the genetics part, one being suitability for a given event, the other is the genetic response to the drugs, but at that time I'd be fairly confident the 100m Olympic finalists are all dirty at certain times of the season.
Bolt the best
Look at Carl's body back in the day. He was definitely taking. Alot of muscle is unnatural for the most part!
usain to the world, the greatest
Lewis took drugs and struggled to get within 3 tenths of a second of Bolt's times. What was Lewis's best time???. I think it was something like 9.86 seconds. Bolt has run 9.58.
Yep, end of story.
Not to mention the 100m/200m Olympic double, three times.
Parabéns Bolt , Sou Seu Fã ! ☝🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
bolt telling it like it is
Carl who??? Never heard of him.
CaneFu Don’t you even keep up on history?! He is Carl Lewis! I am sure he is still faster than any mortal man! He is Carl Lewis man! He races horses 🐎! He has seen planes ✈️ flying over and started running 🏃 and beat planes! He is Carl Lewis man!! Even once a reverend challenged Lewis to a run against the power of God 💥! Lewis simply answered by saying he is faster than God!!! Look up Eddie Murphy does Carl Lewis.
i really wonder that a loser like you talking about Carl
Who are you ! Ask yourself that question
Oh he's the best track athlete ever.
@@nourdaniel2437 he is 3 times 100 m and 200 m champ at olympics which carl couldnt achieve and now he is jealous............first learn to accept defeat and stop behaving like an asshole...........
@@chucknorrisasthedragonslay9198 r/woooosh
Carl Lewis has always been a jealous clown
Lewis is full of it because Tyson Gay and Gatlin popped positive for shit too...I think he's just jealous that Usain took his crown as the greatest sprinter
All the runners in the 100m final in London passed their drugs test and all of them have never failed a drugs test in their whole careers apart from Gatlin but he has changed and is a respectable athlete. So There's No Point Saying They're Taking Drugs If None Of Them Have Failed!!!!
They just not been caught yet
Carl Lewis ain’t nobody next to Usain Bolt, his daddy
Nope sorry bolt fan boys. No way in hell he wasn't doping.
At least Bolt actually won ALL of his Medals and World Records on the Track, unlike Carl Lewis lol. Carl Lewis was handed a Gold Medal in 1988, and handed a couple World Records as well. I'm sorry, but aside from the Long Jump, Bolt was a better athlete than Carl Lewis.
Carl Lewis? the singer? LMAO " The Bolt is loaded!" 9.58
I ran in 9.58s yesterday. I forgot the distance though.
40m don't worry I got u I timed u remember 😉
How far is fridge from couch?
Usain bolt the true king carl levis a dopper and jealous scared guy
Christophe Lemaitre was faster than Bolt at the age of 21, then Bolt got on drugs and started breaking world records
I think Lewis is just mad/jealous because Bolt is an outstanding athlete. And he's trying to find the imperfection in Bolt because he's mad and because he knows Bolt is the best.
Carl Lewis was voted;
Atlethes Of The Century.
Sportsman Of The Century.
Olympian Of The Century.
Nothing to be jealous of.
I couldn't quite hear what Bolt was saying. But he looked good.D
Hadn't seen that, good answer.
Not every athlete take drugs...
Usain has nothing left to prove, there is almost no motivation for him right now,secondly he doesnt exert his energy running great races all year round & pushing all that effort. He runs when he needs to defend his titles,that pretty much it. He already wants to retire.Hes already broken all the records for his races, not once but twice. what exactly would he be pushing harder for at this point?
Leave the GOAT alone, Carl.
Every athlete takes drugs..until they get caught.Look at the history of every sport.Filled with fallen angels.
How is it that mankind have fights/arguments in everything?!
If you're gonna do something wrong do it right Bolt may or may not be doping but we know Carl was for a fact so Carl just don't be a hypocrite and respect greatness.
Whatever he takes? He did not become a beast in 2008,he was a beast before. Name me another 15 year old athlete who without the aid of major sponsorship or training funding was so good he was considered he gets labeled the 'lightning Bolt'.Name me another 17 year old who has run 19.93 seconds in the 200m and leaves his rivals gobsmacked.Name me another 17yr old who smashes the record to pieces so that the commentators of a race don't remember who came second.
Notice how Bolt never denies using drugs. Not that it matters or anything, all top sprinters are on drugs and all will deny till they die anyway.
We are supposed to believe Bolt ran 9.58 and 19.19 clean and everyone else was on drugs which would mean if everyone else without drugs would be running about 9.5 and 19.85
Bolt was already running 19.93 at the age of 17.
Don't embarrass yourself in these comments.
Carl is really an American because Carl was never caught with steroids or exogenous testosterone does not mean he never took anything, Marion Jones was tested many time and never test positive but she was doping, I heard person argue that what he test positive for is not on the ban list, but it was at some point Americans would find excuses for people like Carl Lewis
Usain Bolt is 100% natural
Well said
You have waited so patiently for the past 8 years. Well today is the day that your patience pays off big time. Today, you're getting a much deserved thumbs up. Congratulations.
like him or not, what Carl Lewis did for T&F is the same as what Magic and Bird did for the NBA. Especially in America, track athletes were not making much money. Carl came in demanding appearance fees and endorsements.
Bolt like Michael Jordan are bigger names and better athletes, but they took over and made more popular what the others put in motion. Let us not forget Ben Johnson either, both he and Carl brought attention to T&F on a yearly basis, and not just the Olympics.
For the sake of all TF fans, we better all hope Bolt is clean.
They both brought attention and scandal in equal measure. Both were liars and cheaters, both were arrogant and self-centered and both gave sprinting a bad name. It took Bolt to resort the reputation and prestige of the 100 meter sprint and bring back all the attention. So. Carl Lewis of, all people, should not be talking, never mind criticizing.
Andrew you have to be and American ass
Couldn't agree more with Bolt. Carl Lewis has been a total disappointment in recent years.
Carl Lewis,Ben Johnson and Usain Bolt are actually all incredible athletes Carl Lewis Long jump distances were insano, sprinting has not had super humans like Bolt now since those days.the only others that came close as other world athletes were Linford and Donovan Bailey who is undereated
It's not easy to ingest the feelings when you are dethroned for a title. It's normal for Carl Lewis to trash talk.
But there's a difference between trash talk and slander though.....
Carl Lewis a great athlete with an ugly heart.
I have no idea if Bolt is clean..BUT for a small country they have had around 6 get caught for drugs
Carl Lewis just jealous and want to make some quick cash via interviews by dragging Bolt into a subject.
Actually the fact is that when you make accusations it is only fair that you have proof.So until someone proves that Usain and other Jamaican sprinters are doping please do not insult their talent and hardwork by suggesting they are on something.Surely a 15 yr old who becomes the youngest junior to win a 200m and a 17yrld who breaks the world record with 19.93 decimating his competitors by winning races by huge margins like Usain has done,does not need to be doping.
👌👌👌👌
Let's not forget what that old man said to the Harvard students that went to Jamaica to dig up the truth about Bolt,and his own words were < outsiders have no idea what this boys are taking so undetectable stuff that no one can ever find out.I never forget that.
Such a documentary already exists - watch 'Athletics - If you don't take it, you won't make it'.
In Carl Lewis' opinion anyone who beats his record is on drugs , a wild Cheeter beats his record now the wild Cheeter is on drugs
Usain escaped getting caught around 2008 to 2009. He has now come off any gear after his team mates got caught. That's why you aren't seeing him come even close to 9.58 or 19.19 anymore. He has to rely on his own talent now. And that's not guaranteed to win every time.
PROJECT DX whats your nationality? Only Americans will say Bolt is on drugs or was on drugs, stop the hate, you have no proof that he ever took any ban substance, so how can you say that he escaped getting caught. you pathetic u r a wasteman
So his 9.63 in London was clean then? Yet on drugs in 2008 he couldn't get 9.67? Show me the proof he took drugs.
U think I give a fuck about green card u dumb thing. U acting like America is heaven
or it could be the fact that he's 29 going on 30 dipshit.
PROJECT DX he jogged the last 40m of the 200m final today to 19.55sec . Had he sprinted those 40m he woulda got at least 19.3sec . Your theory falln apart bro.
If you think about it, Carl ran races to win and move to the next race. He wasn't trying to break records. Run the tapes. He had a plan. Longevity. Otherwise I love bolt and he's my idol for dominating with style. Nothing against Carl but they had two different goals. Peace
carl as a member of the infamous santa monica track team was juiced to the gills
i agree with bolt. he is only seeking attention. i wish they could find his sample and test it again
Carl lewis didnt even say anything. I think Bolt was believing some gossip or something.
Watch 9.79. It will tell you everything about who Lewis is and his "legacy".
THERE ARE A LOT OF OLYMPIC ATHLETIC THAT HAS USED DRUGS AND NEVER BEEN CAUGHT. GOLD, SILVER AND BRONZE-THINK ABOUT IT
Not in 21st century .
Total Jealousy's because someone else besides him could be that Fast that Good..
