The Campaign against Jamaican Sprinters

Ever since the Olympics, there seems to be a campaign against the Jamaican sprinters who performed so well there. The latest attack is from American former athlete Carl Lewis.
Quote:
When people ask me about Bolt, I say he could be the greatest athlete of all time. But to run 10.03 seconds one year and 9.69 the next, if you don't question that in a sport with the reputation it has right now, you're a fool. Period.

Poor Carl Lewis.
He just sounds bitter to me. He has no class. Carl Lewis was one of those athletes who took performance enhancing drugs, and was caught and had it covered up. He has no right to speak now.

As Glen Mills says,
Quote:
Usain is as clean, as they say, as a whistle. It's unfortunate that the world, or the American world, is unable to deal with the superbness of his performances, but they going to have to put up with it for a while to come ... because he is just a real, genuine talent.
Dem a go tyad fi si wi face, but dem cyaan get wi out a di race!

Re: Carl Lewis...



I think we should take his comments with a pinch of salt.

Nuff said!

Re: The Campaign against Jamaican Sprinters

I'll never understand why people can't just be happy for each other's accomplishments.

Re: The Campaign against Jamaican Sprinters

I can run 9.5 sec.....................over 50m. In the space of a few weeks the business of sprinting has been turned upside down. The US does not have any big track clubs anymore. The best sprint coaches are now in Jamaica. The best track club is now Jamaican. The aim is to keep the money away from Jamaica. Good luck to them. When more americans want to train in Jamaica the tide has shifted. Money is a major player here.
Did I mention I met Melanie Walker (400m hurdles) yesterday on the plane ride from Miami?
