I mean the 100m champ is an American-Italian who moved after missing selection.
But to be honest I'm pretty suspect of everyone. Given what Russia was up to and the fact that they weren't running away from the competition then probably anyone who is dominant is at best pushing the regulations to the limit like all the asthmatics on the tour de France.

I think he was raised in Italy and is the genuine Fonzie but there are question marks next to both him and particularly his relay team.

I now firmly believe they're all microdosing and regularly testing to ensure that at any point they're just on the right side of the limits.

Always one step ahead of the testers

The dodgy thing about the 100m winner was his relatively recent amazing run of form, as I understand it he wasn't on the radar 12 months ago and suddenly he is breaking PBs in every race.

I read that he wasn’t even part of the drug testing pool because he was so far outside of the top level. Apparently a supplement provider he was involved with is also under investigation.
Sad thing is that if it’s too good to be true then it often is.

Some ozzie Olympians get back into Oz, quarantine 14 days, then have to do the same again when they get into SA!

Bolt is part of a pretty dodgy sprint programme as well. Insightful article repost as always

It's a pity that a thread about some awesome achievements at the Olympics has suddenly turned into somethings negative.
I'm going to mute this thread.@stargazer said in Olympics Thread:
