Usain has ‘no respect’ for Lewis

Usain Bolt has hit out at people who make claims about the use of performance enhancing drugs in athletics, and has “lost all respect” for former Olympic champion Carl Lewis.

On the day Bolt created history by winning the 200 metres to complete the sprint double for the second Games in succession, Victor Conte — the convicted owner of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative (BALCO) that supplied drugs to the likes of Dwain Chambers and Marion Jones — had claimed it was easy for cheats to prosper at London 2012 and that 60% of athletes are using drugs.

And while Bolt reacted angrily to Conte’s claims when they were put directly to him, it was unclear exactly what sparked the Jamaican’s rant against Lewis.
