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.

Carl Lewis’s opinion has no substance giving he’s guilty of doping whilst the Big man is well and truly clean
Is this goon(Carl Lewis ) out of his drugged up mind.crack head what are you talking about, dummy. Jamaica had never had a.drug problem with their athletes. We eat good dam food that is real organic. Go to hell fool.
As the saying goes : throw your stone in the pen, the one it hits is the one who is gonna squeal out. Now Mr. Lewis you are the one squealing. I’ve read the article and I didn’t notice Mr. Bolt mentioning your name. Everyone knows Jamaica is known for drugs but who are you to throw stones. The USA is no better than Jamaica. You Sir is the one who need to clean your house. Remember Mr. Bolt was specific in his statement. Not talking to you he wasn’t (SO) when you are gonna comment be specific but I guess you can’t be can you because everytime they test Mr. Bolt, the numerous times they did. He comes out clean which means DRUG FREE. No drugs in his system. That go to say he can talk and have an opinion. He is responsible for himself not the island of Jamaica. Now Mr. Lewis shut the hell up, take the back seat. No one wants to hear you. Thank you.

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.
kmt carl mek bolt talk him clean
Lewis is a hater the statement made has no relivance and make nooo sense !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bolt nuh worry bout these haters !!!!!!!!!!! They can’t do you nothing!!!
Uncle Tom Or the good negga thats Carl Lewis. A black person who does not know how to support their own. That’s why we where salve for so long.

In my humble opinion, Carl Lewis can’t accept that Usian Bolt is naturally fast, and his excellent speed has shred his records to dust, so he is persistent in his quest to tarnish the integrity of the WORLD FASTEST MAN ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Four person run a relay we all know that there is no one in America that can beat Bolt in any race
Four person run a relay we all know that there is no one in America that can beat Bolt in any race
Saying anthing,especially when they’re wearing the same shoes. Lol
Why don’t some of us take a good look at ourselves before saying anythi
carl lewis had gotten away with it for years. he can talk now the fact he no longer competing ….he is out of the sport. he is only a bitter person because his country is not on top like the Jamaicans are right now……
Can Carl say that when Ben Johnson bet him and set the world record he was not also on drugs? the only difference was that the focus then was on Ben so nobody bothered to expose him. Carl SHUT up alla you guys back then was so doped up i wasnt funny
HE (Lewis) represents no one or nothing so why are we even entertaining his comments!!!

How can they compare the doping rate in the US to jamaica? They have more doping than any other country in sports. Who are you Carl lewis ,you yourself was guilty of doping. I hope they paid you for that interview cause you look hungry AF. If Yuh did was beg bolt sumpm Yuh shuda ask dwl
i dont pick a damn sense out of what he is saying ,do you?
I like love sports but what is karl lewis really talking about. Bolt never speak about other Americans about doping as some of them do! He was specific about Tyson gay about the easy way he got off his doping! That’s the point! Bolt was always a campaigner against doping, whether here or there! Mr lewis, I think u just want to be seen and heard as you are no longer in the spotlight as the ‘to the world boss’ mr. Usain Bolt. Goodbye lewis!
Because he is an American. Still the US wonders why the world hates their asses?.
Lewis should stay away from commenting on Drug Issues…..In 1988 Ben Johnson got caught but Carl’s results were hidden…He should return that medal!!!

It is not Bolt’s responsibility to clean up Ja. athletes, it is his responsibility to stay drug free. That is the best stand a man can take. If he continues on this path for the next two years, he will truly be a legend. A drug free legend.
Idiot dope head! Go siddung! Kmdt
Idiot dope head! Go siddung! Kmdt
Dutty Carl Lewis needs a good bax inna him mouth
carl failed several drug tests and for sure his conscience is killing him…. did he deserve those records? …maybe not but for sure BOLT has yet to fail any with far more advanced and sensitive methodology. CARL LEWIS would have been banned under todays rules and testing methods soooo… Carl …. please SHUT UP!!! NUFF SAID!!
Well Bolt already cleaned out all of his record, what Carl says is of no significance
JEALOUS DI BWOY JEALOUS….. SMPH….HIM FI GU SIT DUNG AH DI BACK BENCH…LOL
No one remembers this guy till he opens his jealous beak. What is he doing with himself anyway? smh
Carl you are nothing but a jealous hater..i guess you really dont mind the drug!

Carl Lewis calling the kettle black. As I said b4 it was our testing that found out our athletes, they did not rob any athlete of their medals Carl Lewis can you say the same US athletes have robbed so many athletes of medals its a shame poor Merlene is testimony of that. The poor girl lost medals to so many druggist is a shame. The girl run her heart out but the druggist wins. And after all this time you think they would stop but dem still a drugs up. And some people who a comment get unu facts straight b4 unu open unu yabba mouth or just shut up bcuz unu only a follow crowd. And Carl we did not ask your opinion keep it to yourself.
His opinion shouldn’t even have been printed never mind publicized. He is an idiot of the biggest kind go back under your rock
So..that ends that discussion with Carl…case dismissed..next case, please!
Recall too that Bolt has beaten all of them..Justin and Tyson who were both on drugs. Can you imagine if he (Bolt) was on drugs? Damn…the record would be 6.5 seconds! Anyway the ;point is the 9.58 still stands today WITHOUT drugs. And it took a Jamaican from the countryside to do it..no pumped up synthetic drugs.
Carl Lewis is lying because doping has never been a problem in Jamaica since the last 4-5 years. It has just reached our doorsteps since the and 3 years and furthermore most of those caught were based overseas in the same USA. Another thing to point out is that doping has been a major issue in the US. since the 1984 olympics in L.A. and it involved mostly U.S athletes. He knows this, that is almost 31 years now. Recall that Merlene Ottey has been trying for that elusive gold medal sine her first show at the 1980 olympis and has been robbed because of U.S athletes. What about Marion Jones? That was an international disgrace to the sports and what about Flo Jo? Come on Carl…wanna start a discussion? try me…
he call lewis should say how much drug was being used and who were the ones including himself involve in using drugs when scandal was running ripe at Santa Monica track club, and if he was ever tested positive 3 times before and it was covered up by the same organization
Jamaica has produced some great athletes, but as good as Jamaican athletes are they are not invincible. Nuff respect to Usain but his time would be better spent keeping himself in tip top condition and less time being the celebrity and the party-hog. He can still dominate, but when you’re at the top of your game you have to work even harder to stay there. The proof of the pie is in the eating- let people say whatever they want to say, talk is cheap and there will always be haters. All Jamaica needs to do is stay on course, and train, train and then train some more.

hmm , is this an American diversion strategy , think so. Carl Lewis was intimately involved with the use of performance enhancing substance in his time and as usual USA covered it up, but thats history. Gatlin likewise but he got caught. he should have gotten life ,and again USA got involved. Tyson and Rodgers also drug cheats , but also history. Bolt is present and future , a living legend , USA cant handle that, so these detractors are all positioned strategically to try and get the Bolt of track. Bolt just stay focus on your plans .

During the period when Carl Lewis was hot on the tracks, a lot of drug testing was done. What happened to the results – they were not published – they were lost. This was for about three or four years – American athletes’ result of drug testing could not be found. It was also after that time that Ben Johnson was caught.
