Hi all
Bolt's achievments in the 100 m and 200m finals in Berlin were just incredible

Great athlete -- no steroids / drugs etc.

For Sport lovers everywhere this was not only a great achievement but restored some credibilty to a sport that was rapidly going downhill in a mire of Steroids etc etc.

I'm not from that country but Jamacans can justifiably hold their heads up high with the achievments of a really great athlete who gained his records honestly.

Cheers

jimbo

LOL! Anything could pop up in the coming weeks or months :p The media blows this whole "Steroid Era" out of proportions. Especially ESPN.
