If there could be a silver lining, it makes London's James Dasaolu 3rd fastest legal 100m this year

Its always someone else's fault..." I put my trust in this individual and they have let me down " etc
FFS....YOU ARE PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES. TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY IN LIFE.
You either knew you were taking something dodgy or you didn't check what you were taking. Either way....wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong.
This has been going on for years and for years athletes have been given second chances. They are not interested in learning. They believe it is a risk worth taking. Answer..........
LIFETIME BANS.

Little sympathy. If you're operating at that level, surely you would make sure everything you put in your body was legal, however complicated the system is.
The Jamaicans themselves have had a awful drug testing body for years. It's only the International side of things that have kept them in check. Plenty of rumours floating around about some of their athletes although never heard anything about Bolt and Blake
Such a shame about Gay, I thought he was straight. . . . . . . . . . . .

I just assume all sportsmen are on some form of drugs. How do they get faster every year?

With reference to sprinters, Jessie Owens ran 10.2 in the mens 100m in 1936. If I remember rightly, the ten second barrier wasn 't broken until 1968. It is only Bolt who has knocked huge great lumps off the record. Likewise Michael Johnson in the 200/400.
Flo-Jo smashed the womens 100/200 records to smithereens ( her records still stand today ) but sadly her performances were artificially enhanced. Likewise many East German and Chinese women, who shared the same coaches!
In history, two men have smashed world records by larger margins, like no other. Bob Beamon in the long jump and Usain Bolt.
I know nothing about Beamon's background and I hope and pray that Bolt is clean.
