The naivity of people who think that guy is clean is hilarious. He is phenomenal but there is no way in hell you can be that much better than all the great drug cheats that have come before him. I hope I'm wrong, but if he were to be caught it would destroy the sport, so I can't imagine that happening.zd
I highly doubt that Usain Bolt is the best athlete in the world. There are too many athletes that bring something different to the table in order to see who is the best. I like watching him run but I hate his personality.
Its not show boating, all athletes celebrate in some form or fashion. If you look at the way a athlete acts after some victorious event and see there emotions as boasting. You don't know anything about sports or athletics.

He looks FAT compared to last year. (not fully automatic timing FAT)
good 2 see pickering run quick,good 2 see him beat the cheat in uk trials soon!!!:)
"Athlete" implies that he is good at a wide variety of things. He is, no doubt, the best in the world at his very narrow specialty. 'Athletes,' however, run, jump, turn, kick, throw, maneuver, make contact, etc. Until I see him toss a discus, jump a bar, and kick a ball to a teammate, I won't consider him the best 'athlete' in the world. But I'll be DAMNED if i don't watch every single step he takes, every field he destroys, and every record he breaks and re-breaks. And Mark is right about the showboating. Love him or hate him, he generates buzz. He generates notoriety. With buzz comes viewers and with viewership comes network backing and money for the sport.
Best athlete in the world?? Hardly. Great talent, but he showboats and doesn't give it his all in every meet.
Usain is a great talent. He is just making it look easy. However, running sub-10 is never easy!
:)
We all know the Bolt has and good performance!
