Carl Lewis and the very very sour grapes
September 15th 2008 01:30
The poor US. They just can't handle not having the mantle of the best athletic team in the world. So what do they do? Cry. When that doesn't get them anywhere what do they do? Point fingers. There isn't anything worse than someone (and what makes it worse is that it's a former athlete) who has taken to throwing mud at Usain Bolt for his performances at the Olympics.
Now, Carl Lewis who should know what it was like to have fingers pointed at him (and still denies wrongdoing over a supposed OTC medication) is doing the same thing! Ah, Mr Lewis don't you know that those who throw mud lose a lot of ground? What am I missing? Usain Bolt was tested before he ran, was tested after he ran, was tested again...and again....and again...and again, yet there was no drug test that has turned up positive. So people like Carl Lewis need to better start coming up with some evidence to prove that it's more than just the sour grapes that seem to be gnawing and eating away at his insides. Usain Bolt hasn't just come from nowhere. He has been running from he was a child. Has anyone considered that just perhaps he's just that good?
What Lewis is saying is that Usain Bolt's management in Jamaica is so technically adept that they have the ability to get these performance enhancing drugs that are a step ahead of the IOC and WADA? Once again, Jamaica has outdone itself so much so that there are secret laboratories down there (or are these laboratories in the US?) that are manufacturing these world class athletes. There are actually, except these "labs" are high class training schemes started from the primary schools, they're in the high schools (watch Boys and Girls Champs) and in the tertiary institutions. Maybe Carl Lewis needs to hop on a flight and see how Jamaica actually does things before he chews on any more of those sour grapes.
Careful Carl, if you eat too many they could either poison or choke you...
