Usain Bolt Knocked Over By Camerman After Winning Gold

glad he wasn't hurt but tired of the Jamaican's dominated the Olympics anyway. those dad gum bobsledders were unstoppable.

Some people are just too slow. Maybe if Bolt was a little quicker he wouldn't have been knocked down.

Cameraguy on a Segway has to be the dumbest idea ever.

Now that I agree with.

 

The wife and I were

at a restaurant last night when they showed it in ESPN and I said a cameraman on a Segway just ran over Bolt. She wouldn't believe it even after they showed it. The dumbest idea ever!

I don't disagree, but considering this isn't the NFL, they don't have a "bird-on-a-wire" camera to follow along with the live action during the race. Segway is the best they can do on the budget. The guy needs to be paying better attention, though, for sure.

Vince Coleman getting rolled up in a tarp was better.

Honestly, that's the only comparable situation I can recall that's gotten this kind of attention. Vince's was bigger though.

Actually you will need to read all the stories about the Jamacian track team dating back to before he won his first world championship and olympic gold.

 

To make a very long story short I will try to lay down the highlights of what has gone on.

 

A year before he won his first world chaSmpionship, the entire Jamacian track team was middle of the pack in the world championships. They then got a new Jamacian drug committee who is in charge of the doping testing etc. Along with this new group the team also got a new "Trainer" for the team who had previously been busted for supplying ped's to several athletes as they failed drug tests for ped's thus was the reason a new drug doping committee was formed for team jamacia. Miraculously at the next internationl meet 6 months later the Jamacia team swept the medals in the 100 as well as several other races. These were the same runners (Including Bolt) who just 6 months prior had their highest finished somewhere around 6th place. This has been going on for a decade at least they stated and a couple runners failed international testing which led the jamacian doping committee to start making sure shortly before international meets that the entire team would be "clean" for any tests . Anyway the big red flag was when the jamacian team went from not even placing in meets to shortly after the changes for the team were made they were sweeping international meets.

 

It's been going on for years and just like cycling, it is known how dirty track and field is and Usain Bolt is the biggest recipient of it.

 

There are a ton of articles on this subject but the money these racers earn make it more than worth the risk.

 

I understand you love to try and prove me wrong and toss blanket statements out all the time calling me a liar etc. but for your help I will give you several links you can read up on so maybe you can stop with your trashing of my character for once, but I doubt it because you have never done any research on your own.

 

Here is a quote from Carl Lewis himself on the subject

 

"“When people ask me about Bolt, I say he could be the greatest athlete of all time,” Carl Lewis told the Times of London. “But for someone to run 10.03 one year and 9.69 the next, if you don’t question that in a sport that has the reputation it has right now, you’re a fool. Period.”"

There are a ton of stories on this subject and just like

lance armstrong I believe where there is smoke there's fire.

 

 

 

I'm with HB on this one. There is no way all the members just happened to get that much better in one season unless they had some chemical help. You also don't cut 3/10ths of a second of your time like Bolt did unless he was helped chemically. I wish we could believe these guys but in this sport along with cycling, I don't believe any of them anymore. It's a shame because some of them are probably clean too...

And the no-driver golf cart in Cowboys Stadium that took out like 3 or 4 people but none of them were famous athletes......it just happened at a sporting event.

And do not forget about para-glider Fan Man who got beat up for crashing into the Bowe vs Holyfield fight.
