is he?

i think he isn't.

I'm a 15 y/o long jumper (my main event) and sprinter and of jamaican decent. We are all naturally fast.

My workout consists of no weight training as of yet. Calisthenic workouts and plyometric exercises are what i do when i'm not on the track.
another contribution to my overall strength is that i've been training in parkour three years. i'm also the tallest in my track team (a little over 6'foot).

100m - 11.2s
Long Jump - 6.73m (averaging 6.40's)
p.s. mind you, i've been training a little under a year as i decided i'd quit tennis last year.

What i'm trying to say is, athletics comes easy, and with hard work, we beat people!

do you guys think he's on steroids?

you see, as racist as that is, that could be a legit reason.
jamaica is a very hilly and grass-abundant place.
running uup grassy hills increases elasticity and power in the legs therefore running faster on flat land.

the problem is that many other countries offer the same basics ( hills etc) and maybe even better ( trainers , training grounds , supporting programs etc )

so this *hard training* seems not to be the real reason 4 his stellar runs ... others could do all the same like usain , but they still wont be as fast ...

he does have an extraordinary body-height , and he is able to run at the same frequency as smaller ppl ( combined with his huge steps this means crazy times )

but still

we know that many sprint-champs were connected to doping ( santa monica track club 4 example , not to mention ben johnson )

one year ago cera became famous 4 being detectable by wada , but this doping drug was in use 4 many years already ... many athletes did use this epo-clon 4 years with almost zero risk

we dont know , what is *the drug of the hour* atm , and when this one will be replaced ... some ppl claim that even *gen-doping* is already in use

And saying people of Jamaican descent are naturally faster isn't racist?
