Bolt Should “Clean Up Jamaica” Before Speaking About Others Says Carl Lewis
Former American Sprinter Carl Lewis on Thursday stated Usain Bolt should focus on cleaning up Jamaica before speaking about others.
This after Bolt claimed the American sprinter Tyson Gay received a “slap on the wrist” and should have been kicked out of athletics instead of receiving a reduced ban after he failed drug tests.
In 2013 Gay failed three drug tests but received a backdated one-year suspension last year. Gay’s penalty was reduced because he cooperated with the US ANti-Doping Agency in an investigation that led to his former coach Jon Drummond receiving an 8-year ban.
While speaking with reporters recently, Lewis stated:
“He (Bolt) has raised a legitimate issue and I understand that but rules are rules. But see a Jamaican is talking about it. Lots of doping issues have come out in Jamaican athletics in the last 4-5 years. He should first think of cleaning up his own house”.
“Doping is not good for sports. I have said that and I have taken a stand on that in 1987 and in 2008”.
“How many people have taken stand on doping?” he asked.
“If you don’t take stands on the issue, please shut up,” said Lewis seemingly questioning whether Bolt had taken a stand on doping issues in Jamaica.

ANOTHER DRUG USER SPEAKS HIS MIND
Carl Lewis is just a cry baby…he definitely had a problem with Bolt’s success. …I pity him..poor old man…
Bolt can only keep himself clean,and did you know”,Lewis has now acknowledged that he failed three tests during the 1988 US Olympic trials, which under international rules at the time should have prevented him from competing in the Seoul games two months later”.
Carl Lewis has absolutely no authority to speak on the issue of drugs. He is just venting on Bolts status as a legend in Track and Field, something that Carl will never attained.
Carl Lewis u dont know of any country who’s had more case of doping like jamaica ..do u know why ?because u take it there and therefore had set the standard for it…..a matter of fact your the only athlete that always stands out in peoples mind for doping and ever will……badmindddddddd
Go to hell carl Lewis
A high time Carl Lewis get off Bolt back, badmind and grudgeful a kill him
Carl Lewis of all person, when for his whole professional life he was a druggy, this why he is aged beyond his years, give us a break.. For the humpteen years US has reign in athletics they have been druggistsis.
I think everyone deserve a chance Asafa, Sherone,Veronica and other Jamaicans were given a second chance so why not Tyson Gay……I don’t agree for a lifetime ban…..just saying.
