LOL 9.58 for Bolt!

Imo they should have a pro drug competition where steroid use is unrestricted so we can see just how far our athletes could go and what they are capable of if not tied up and restricted by all the red tape and legislation that comes with sporting rules.

If a Bolt on steroids could go sub 9.50, maybe even sub 9 seconds then let's see it.

I believed Ben Johnson did that in 86 olympics running below 9 seconds but was dq'ed after testing positive on banned substance

Johnson ran 9.79 which was amazing at the time.

not even close.

He ran 9.95 in 1986, then 9.83 in 1987, and the following year, had his now infamous World/Olympic, and own world-breaking record run of 9.79. To which he promptly got tested for, shunned, and was heard to say getting off an airplane from, "Stereo? I didn't take no stereo?!"

He was stripped of all of them from the record books.

When I ran track in highschool the best I ever got was 11 seconds...sub 10 second 100 meter sprints are amazing to me.

I wonder why don't end up becoming a running back if really run that fast. I mean Emmet Smith isn't really that fast but was so successful.

Well for starters there is a difference in the kind of top end speed that world class 100/200 m guys get to and the necessary 40 yd times of NFL players. After that there are just a tremendous amount of variables involved in how one applies their speed in football or any contact sport. The university of texas had a RB by the name of charles who was a top notch sprinter. He was not so great between the tackles but when he got in the open field it was good night irene.

If Bolt would run for the New Orleans Saints, don't you think their chances of getting into division championship would be 100 times more likely?

Hell!! who could catch up with him!!

If Bolt was on roids I bet he could run like a 9.58

Well thats what im thinking.

Just a freak of nature, that was the best race of all time essentially with Tyson Gay running a 9.71 and Bolt running a truly ridiculous 9.58 and I don't know if it's going to get much better then that for Bolt. 9.58 is what they projected he would get if he kept running in Beijing using his turnover rate multiplied by the number of strides. Ludicrous stuff as I repeated last year only to be rebutted by the VERY ignorant Bilbo, Bolt is THE MAN. The best athlete on the planet no doubt about it.

Usain Bolt ran at 40 mph to break his previous world record. You might think that's good but if he hits a child there's an 80% chance she'll die.
