it obviously hurts Karl to know that someone did smash his record and set records doing it. that is understandable but Karl's feelings will heal with time. maybe he is telling us something else? like... he must have used it back them and was not caught? well, i don't want to think that but Karl need to stop and let the doping testing organizations do their jobs.

Carl your comments is the definition of IGNORANCE!!!!!!!! Your lack of knowledge really makes you sound stupid. The fact is that Usain has been breaking record long ago. Carl you need to do your research before you speak. Usain's achievements as a young athlete far supersedes that of yours or any athlete you ever know or compete with. You will never walk in Usain shoe. Respect greatness, something you aspire to become but never achieve.

Big up De man from Trelawny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is unfortunate that Carl Lewis would attempt to discredit Usain Bolt's achievements by his suggestion of drug use. This highlights his ignorance and his comments has diminished the respect I have for him. Usain has set records at just about every level of his carreer and his youth and junior achievments are superior to Carl's. Usain was World Junior Champion at 15 years old and is the only Junior to run under 20s. We (Jamaicans) are not surprised by Usain's achivements.

I would not be surprised if Usain has been tested more times this year that any year of Carl's career and in an era of better and more stringent testing methods. I am happy that Usain (and others) train in Jamaica and away from the mecca of drug cheats and liars and across several sports.

Olympic legend Carl Lewis is among more than 100 American athletes involved in a cover-up of drug use, documents reveal.

Lewis and two of his training partners all took the same three types of banned stimulants and were caught at the 1988 US Olympic trials, according to the documents released by a disgruntled former senior US anti-doping official, Dr Wade Exum.

But on appeal to their national Olympic committee, all were cleared of inadvertent doping. Two months later, at the Seoul Olympics, Lewis finished second in the 100 metres sprint. But when Canadian Ben Johnson failed his Olympic drug test, Lewis was awarded the 100m gold.

...Carl..You are a cheat and can not stomach someone outdoing drug free!!...The playing field is now level since the IOC and IAAF now knows about "The Clear".

Anyone who knows track and field, also knows that it takes two or three years to increase your speed from 10:03 to 9.69 as Usain Bolt did (in just one year). At those speeds, every 10th of a second is almost a full stride, so the question is: "How did Bolt run about 3 1/2 steps faster in just one year?" As we have seen recent years several runners who had similar big improvements were found to have been cheating. So, unfortunately, Carl is correct in asking the question. But let's all hope that in fifteen years, Bolt will been seen as a sports icon himself!

This is not a world where people examine things - we seem to follow people blindly and are shocked when we are fooled. Repeatedly. Best that Carl be quiet. Don't contradict. Don't say the things anyone would think. Query to the writer though - Lewis' listing as using banned substances - I understood it to be cold medicine etc - what are the facts? You chose to diss Bolt, you can at least examine this issue.

From 10:03 tp 9:69 in a year? Hhhmmm!

'when fox cyaa get di grape him seh it sour'.......Now that the playing field is level, the Americans are nowhere to be seen! We have been settling for second place behind the Americans for too long, because they were cheating! It's Jamaica's time now to show true talent. Bolt is truly a great sprinter and Carl Lewis needs to hush up and be grateful that he wasn't found out! It's amazing what sore losers that Americans are! Carl Lewis...you will never in this lifetime aor the next be as great as our Jamaican son! Leave him the hell alone! As Shelly has so aptly put it...it's the yam, banana and dumplings that produce top athletes!! Go weh bwoy! Uonnou too bad mine! You know what...I think Carl is just ashamed that a small Country like ours could put them to shame! Dem haffi love it up whedda dem like it or not! We are here to stay! Look out London 2012!!! The Jamaicans are coming!

I used to almost have a lot of respect for Carl Lewis (get it?).. of course it doesn't matter to him, but he's a classic example of a former star who is jealous of an imminent legend: Mr. Usain Bolt. What's even worse, I surmise is that all of America's sprinters have been left scratching their heads, considering they were rightfully S.P.A.N.K.E.D. by a bunch of youngsters from an island nation the size of Connecticut! Carl Lewis is a classic example of American's who get b*tchy and nasty when their favorite guy or girl didn't win....

has he been tested?maybe he was hurt when he ran 10:03 and just stepped it up in front of the world

Hello Carl and other americans athlets that competed after got + test for drugs. What about your own test? What about the 10.000 pages accusing the americans and nobody did anything? And about Florence Griffith-Joyner , she never used drugs? Her record should be canceled.

DO YOU REMEMBER THIS CARL LEWIS?
r. Wade Exum's report that 19 American medallists were allowed to compete at various Olympic Games from 1988 to 2000 despite having earlier failed drug tests shocked some people in the sporting community but was no surprise to others.

For years, insiders had speculated that U.S. athletes were not immune to delving into doping to get ahead of the competition.

But how could this be? American athletes often spoke publicly against illegal drug use in sport, cursing the sports regimes of East Germany and China for systemic doping practices.

"There is no commitment to stopping the drug problem," said track and field star Carl Lewis in 2000. "People know the sport is dirty, the sport is so driven by records."

Little did Lewis know he would be named in Exum's report.
The five-time Olympic medallist was among the athletes named in more than 30,000 pages of documents released by former U.S. Olympic Committee anti-doping chief to Sports Illustrated and several newspapers in 2003. More than 100 athletes from several different sports tested positive for banned substances between 1988 and 2000 but were cleared by internal appeals processes.

Imagine America is trying to say a small island like Jamaica, has given usain bolt drugs that North America & Europe with all thier high technology cannot find it, think about it don't Americans really sound stupid!!!! I gues hate runs deep in the hearts of many, Bolt made all Jamaicans & Black people proud.

Typical of Americans. Trying to police everything, I still respect Mr. Lewis though.

Karl Lewis needs to check the facts before he makes these comments. I would challenge him to do some research.
He will find that Usain have been breaking records from he was 14. he was the youngest ever gold medalist in the 2002 World Junior Championship. In 2004 he broke another record in the 200 meters in a time 19.93 at the Carifta Games in Bermuda. That is just two of the many accomplishments.

OK Carl, I have lost respect for you. I really looked up to you. You reasons are that someone doesnt leave from 10.03 to 9.69 in a year.
while this maybe true and for all that are using the term "Anyone who knows track and Field". this goes to show that they DONT know it themselves, because before Bolt it was almost impossible for someone of his height and built be running that fast, but he did prove them wrong, VERY wrong. IF that was the case, why is it hard to believe that he can really rotate his strides fast enough to break records

Tall = Crappy Sprinter (WRONG)

You all are just sore losers and commend the youngster for his achievements from His Junior Years till now. These were foreseen by Many greats in the sport.
