JAMAICA GLEANER

Jamaican sprint star Usain Bolt has been excluded from a list of more than 800 athletes who it is alleged that between 2001 and 2012 returned blood tests described by experts as "highly suggestive of doping or at the very least abnormal", according to the BBC.

Fresh allegations have emerged indicating that one in seven of the 5,000 athletes tested over the period returned results that experts considered "highly suggestive of doping or at the very least abnormal".

The story was broken by German broadcasters ARD/WDR and is to be the subject of a documentary.

According to the findings, a third of medals (146, including 55 golds) in endurance events at the Olympics and World Championships between 2001 and 2012 were won by athletes who have recorded suspicious tests. It is claimed that none of these athletes have been stripped of their medals.

The World Anti-Doping Agency has reacted with alarm to the allegations.

It's not clear whether any other Jamaican has been named in the allegations.

    Wait until Bolt career is over, then you will here about all the doping allegation surrounding him, just to tarnish his accomplishments and his legacy. right now they can`t touch him because they will be lots and lots of empty seats--few sponsors--no Bolt is equal to loosing a few hundred millions. (Hope he beat up on those complaining Americans who hate losing and fighting to bring him down one last time)

    Sometimes I wonder if you people read before your fingers start typing. The article say he was EXCLUDED in other words he is not one of them who was tested and failed or whose test results was abnormal. Cheese and peas. All they are saying is that the man CLEAN. Simple enough?

    Why is it only the US always finding a black person guilty of drugs and why is it People don't go to other countries to confirm they blood tests. Has a medical person i know there are tricks and trails that people can do to upset a trail so, if i was Bolt l would have let them come out with their results then ask for a repeat at a different hospital not in the US at all. There are a lot of doping- like substances that are seen in row foods and even to the tin stuff so it depends on the kind of tea and some ground foods. Bolt has to check the kind of food he eat in the state or check the foods the eat from the same people in America because the doping can come from the same people who prepare the food for him. DON'T TRUST PEOPLE. please check all corners before you can accept anything they say.
