I agree, what an athlete! If he manages to stay a bit more focused and and a little less being 'da man' on the track he will put down even more incredible records!

He beat records in records. I mean, eleven hundreds of a second on both 100 and 200 meters. He is insane.

I agree the whole sport has been so tainted in the last twenty years I find it difficult to appreciate it as much as I used to

The improvements in his finish times is said to be unusual both in the increment amount and timing (within short period). Hopefully its legit, and we will not have any revelations later.

Maybe track and field would be better off if track events shorter than 800 or 1500m were eliminated. The benefits of illegal drug use is larger for the shorter distances and sprints.

There is enough doubt over the validity of records/results for track/cycling and swimming (suit fiasco) that I now think its more worthwhile to follow skill related sports (soccer/football, tennis, etc.)
