Carl Lewis Claims Usain Bolt could be a drug cheat??


United states sprinting great C. Lewis has expressed his doubts as to whether the performances of Usain Bolt have been drug free.

Lewis openly questioned the Jamaican drug testing programs in an interview with the mag Sports Illustrated
claiming they are not as tough as the tests in the USA.

The reality is that if I were running now and had the performances I had in my past I would expect them to say something, Carl states.

I would nott even be offended at the question.

When people ask me about Bolt I say he could be the greatest athlete of all time but for someone to run 10.03
one year and 9.69 the next if you do not question that in a sport that has the reputation it has right now you are a fool.

Lewis says Usains Bolt's performances strikes him as being too good to be true.

Let me go through the list: Ben Johnson Justin Gatlin Tim Montgomery, Tyson Gay and the two Jamaicans 6 people have run under 9.80
3 have tested positive, and one had a 1 year out.

"Not to Usain is doing anything, but he is not going to have me saying he is great and then 2 years later he gets popped.
If I don't trust it, what does the public think"

"No one is accusing anyone, but don't live by a different rule and expect the same kind of respect," Lewis explained.

Over his career, Lewis won an amazing ten Olympic medals 9 of which were gold over 4 Olympics.
He also won eight gold medals at World Championship levels.

Lewis is reported to have tested positive to banned stimulants three times before the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, which was later overturned.

"That was an issue where people tried to make something out of nothing," Lewis explained.

"It got thrown out. They said I tested for stimulants found in over-the-counter cold medications. That's it. I did nothing wrong."

Lewis is sceptical of the athletes performances are set to shake-up the sporting world but the 47-year-old remains defiant, given
his history on such matters.

People forget that I was the first one to speak out, and I got crucified, Lewis said.

A year late, I was a prophet. The athletes have to say, 'No, this isn't right.' They know who's on it.
