‘How to Convince Your Skeptical Readers to Accept a New Idea’ – Copyblogger
Sean D’Souza says, “If you look at the last 30 years of the men’s 100-meter finals at the Olympics, you’ll find a number of athletes who didn’t make it to retirement without getting saddled with a doping allegation.
– Carl Lewis: failed drug test, 1988
– Ben Johnson: failed drug test, 1988
– Linford Christie: tests positive for pseudoephedrine, 1988
– Justin Gatlin: failed drug test, 2006
– Maurice Greene: admits to buying performance-enhancing drugs, 2008
– And then Usain Bolt comes along. He not only wins the gold in both the 100-meter and 200-meter finals at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing — he also breaks two world records for those races.
Can anyone blame you if you’re cynical? Don’t you want some sort of proof that Bolt didn’t use performance-enhancing drugs?”.
