PHXSUNS31

Bolt was really good, then he started juicing and became unbeatable.

Bolt is like Barry Bonds. Barry Bonds was one of the greatest baseball players

So your strategy is just to assume everyone is doping and complain about it?

When you’re dominating an event with a long history of doping, a logical conclusion is you just haven’t been caught yet

He did fail a test when he retired & came back for another run & his samples didn’t match previous levels when he won.
