my only question is: what's he on? jump higher, run faster, hit further, etc, until proven otherwise, question all results.

ZOMG! that is friking awesome!

I giggled when I saw BigC in this thread and his question, sine it was a Canadian who held the world record and beat Carl Lewis by using steroids.

Don't get mad at me bro. I just laughed at the irony. :D

Those sprinters are really amazing athletes. A while back, they used t make huge comotion when someone beat it by like fractions of a second. I really didnt see the point in THAT. But they are all amazing and i respect them a whole lot.

Don't get mad at me bro. I just laughed at the irony. :Dthat's why i'm so cynical about sprinters. i remember that day when Johnson won and set a world's record, and the disappointment a few days later when the gold was stripped from him. Ben Johnson was stupid and got caught, but it is likely that almost everyone who lined up that day was cheating (or would cheat in the future), but were better at it.

Yeah it was crappy the day he won. Every one knew he was juiced.

Now tell me, do you really think that skinny Carl Lewis took the juice? I kinda doubt it. Don't get me wrong, I'm a cynic also. I just know what roids does to your body and Lewis didn't look like he took roids.
