It starts by saying "Other than Bolt, no human has ever run 100 meters in under 9.73 seconds" Then just below there's a table of records showing 3 other runners with sub 9.73 times.

In cycling there is also a tech, nutrition and physiology aspect to it. Obviously the tech side is much reduced in running (though clothing and shoes might get some) and Bolt’s diet was notoriously poor.
Shouldn't even be considered due to his history with doping.
People are naive about how much sports are riddled with PEDs. It certainly isn't just Tyson Gay. You only know about the ones who get caught. But there is enough info out there to suggest that getting caught is just a matter of slipping up.
Of the top men's 100m runners (in terms of times) only a few escaped the testing dragnet unscathed, one of which is Bolt. As entertaining as Bolt was to watch I have little faith that he was clean at his peak.
