Usain Bolt, faster than a speeding bullet

[Risen Star]

I don't know if this guy is Superman, but he's pretty close. Today at the World Track & Field Championships in Berlin, he ran the 100 meters in 9.58. He was moving along.

Here's the link to "The New York Times" story by Christopher Clarey.

He sure does "seem" like Superman. I became a huge fan of Mr. Bolt during the last Olympic games. He seems like a great guy with a wonderful, outgoing personality.

He keeps defying logic.

I know he is probably clean, but so many before him in Track and Field have ruined it for him. I keep waiting for him to fail some test. Seems like just about every top sprinter,except for singing superstar Carl Lewis has tested positive for something.

I wish guys like Usain Bolt got more play in this country.

Unfortunately the times we live in almost automatically put an athlete of that caliber in any sport under some kind of performance enhancing suspicion.

It is happened too many times not to think that. Guilty until proven innocent....

This just in......the DMTC is reporting that Usain Bolt, world record holder for the 100 meters, has been entered in the Pacific Classic.

Trainer Ron Ellis: "This is absurd. Obviously Bolt's handlers are entering him with the intent of being a rabbit and ruining Rail Trip's chances. But I have news for them....Rail Trip can rate. Bolt can go out and set whatever fractions he wants, we will just track in 2nd or 3rd."

Bolt's ML odds for the Pacific Classic: 30-1.
