Powell was never fit enough to run his fastest in major championship finals. He could not recover from the heats and semis so he never ran a PB in a major final while other athletes were running their best race of the year in the major final so he could never win the big one. The Bolt came along and that was it for Powell's chances at winning. There are a few drug comments here. Powell was coached for years by Stephen Francis and many of that group, including Powell have failed drug tests. Interestingly enough, the other major sprint training group in Jamaica, Bolt's group coached by Glen Mills, has not had any failed drug tests to my knowledge. So if you want to know if a Jamaican sprinter is clean just check which training group they are in and you might have a good idea.

@@user-vm9hh2se7s He holds the Guiness World Record for the most sub 10 runs in competition. That is an achievement. Also he held the 100m world record before Bolt. Not many can say they've held that record. The man isn't as succesful as BoIt in individual medals but he has his own achievements. Further, the OP was not even comparing the two; they were simply stating that before Bolt, Asafa was Jamaica's "star" athlete for sprint races

To Walter Alexander Asafa do not do drugs, list a drugist who is humble. What they found Asafa with was not steroids. Does Asafa looks like he enjoys the limelights. Asafa runs because he was told that he can run. Follow the man's career before you make jealous accusation.
Great Sprint.. he is a super sprinter..
Always love Powell he was very fast and humble but that groin injury put him through hell. Only thing I dislike he always have a great start then slows down at or near the finishing line. Sometimes I wonder if this injury was there all along and he didn't want to push too hard to make it worst, but nevertheless my respect to him.

Well, as we now know, NO GOLD for Tyson! What is really strange is that Tyson had the race up to 20 yards to go. He is known for kicking away, even from Bolt. He did this in England earlier this year, and left Bolt behind. I think there is a witch on his back-so to speak. He can never seem to break even.
Hopefully Gatlin and Gay and Powell can do well these next 3 years. They were all born the same year interestingly enough.

Powell was never fit enough to run his fastest in major championship finals. He could not recover from the heats and semis so he never ran a PB in a major final while other athletes were running their best race of the year in the major final so he could never win the big one. The Bolt came along and that was it for Powell's chances at winning. There are a few drug comments here. Powell was coached for years by Stephen Francis and many of that group, including Powell have failed drug tests. Interestingly enough, the other major sprint training group in Jamaica, Bolt's group coached by Glen Mills, has not had any failed drug tests to my knowledge. So if you want to know if a Jamaican sprinter is clean just check which training group they are in and you might have a good idea.
