OT- Usain Bolt

The 41 steps thing and the physics thing is dumb. Giraffes take fewer steps to run the 100 meter and any leopard, gazelle, or cheetah will blow their doors off.
Further, Hasheem thabeet takes fewer steps and he's not outrunning The Boatshow.

Point is, the 41 steps is hype, not reality. But it does sound good.

Did you read the rest of my post? He turns his legs over as fast as the other guys, so he has to run a below average race in order to lose.

The first result I got was this thread.

1) You get a gold star for actually Googling it. You are a man of action.

2) That is really freaking funny.

3) There is now a lot of pressure on this thread to actually produce a Brazilian beach wedgie.

Good point, and good counter point. There is zero doubt the Kenyan's have the best genetic for marathons. The reason that I don't buy the Jamaican gene theory is because Jamaicans come from the same stock of West African blacks from which most American blacks do. In other words, the slavers took West African blacks. The new world was populated with that stock. If you look at the last 100 greatest sprinters, they all have west african genetics, including Carl Lewis and Jesse Owens. Jamaica didn't get special west africans, they got west africans, and there has been substantial migration into and out of jamaica in any event, unlike Kenya, where most Kenyans still live.
But good counter point sir, and, yes, you are right, we can never know. If Jamaica had U.S.-type testing, on the other hand, which wouldn't cost much and is their option, then all doubt would be removed.

Well, Michael Johnson says it's because Jamaica is the last stop on the slave trail. It is incredible to me how much faster people of West African descent are. The faster times run in the 100m by non West African descended people were Adam Gemili of the UK (10.06) and Ryoto Yamagata of Japan (10.07). That is so, so far away from the winning time. There is one white guy that has run under 10 seconds, the tall French guy LeMaitre, but he chose to focus on the 200m for this Olympics.

The giraffe that takes fewer steps will beat other giraffes.

That might be all the results we need.

But are these Giraffes doping?

I would not be surprised in the least if Bolt ever tested positive for a banned substance. I enjoyed watching the sprints but in the back of my head there was more than a smidgen of doubt. I can't help it, it's just something I can't wipe out.

My opinion is yes RT @japtista81 so you think the jamicans have been doping ?
