    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.

              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.

                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

                        One of Britain's men 4x100 relay team who had won silver has tested positive for two banned substances. Team likely to be stripped of their medals.

                                          Really, seriously, why dont they just run the Paraolympics at the same time as the Olympics?

                                          They'd all lose?
