Last weekend Usain Bolt blew the 100m at the Olympics wide open by both destroying Tyson Gay and the World Record at a Grand Prix meeting in New York.

Having a few weeks earlier run 9.76 in the Caribbean, he topped this with 9.72 to put down a marker as the fastest man in the world when all the attention previously was on the showdown between Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell.  There are now well and truly 3 men in the race for the greatest prize in athletics.

In these days when there is so much doubt over any fantastic performance that is produced by an athlete, I would be very surprised in Usain Bolt is taking drugs, purely based on what an awesome talent he has been from a very early age, so his prospects were always very bright - he ran 20.61 for 200m at 15!!

I hope these 3 all prove to be drug free and can reinstate the creditials of world class sprinting which have taken such a bashing in the press over the last few years.  It is going to be an exciting build up to the big one in Beijing.
