I don't think the article implies that Bolt is not a hard worker. After reading the article, I think the title could be rephrased as: what would the world record be if Bolt ran as fast as he could for the entire race. Or even, what would you get if you combined the drive of Lance Armstrong with the ability of Usain Bolt?

A postive result at the next drug test!

Unless I'm missing something, I don't think it's ever been proven that Bolt used Steroids.

No, just Lance Armstrong. (Many allegations have followed him.) To be fair, he's accused of blood doping, not steroids.

Cycling seems to be governed by the phrase, "If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying."

The tests results won't be known for days, but it was a reminder of the barrage of doping tests that Armstrong has faced in France over the years. Armstrong has called himself the world's most-tested athlete, and last year faced dozens of doping tests - all negative - in his return from retirement.

How many times do pro-athletes in, say, baseball or football get tested in a year?

How many times was Marion Jones tested? He had BALCO-type money that could help evade the current state of the art in testing.

I was referring to Lance's practices.

Ah, sorry. I thought since Lance has been tested so many times and always declared clean,that you must have been refering to Bolt. :)

I'd be fascinated to see how fast he could run if blood doped.
