What's the secret of Jamaicans ?

They win the most speedy competitions ( 100-200 metres, etc.) at olympic games, without problems, beating United states athletes. What is their secret ? Their Physical features, training, mental superiority, historical factors ? What else ? Someone can answer ?

    Jamaica's national Track body has no steroid testing. Athletes are still subject to the IOC drug rules and testing, but there is no national governance in testing. There are certainly some tremendous athletes, but I have to be skeptical that such a small country would have so much depth in one discipline.

    majormajor and everyone, the reason they have so much depth in one discipline is because they are such a small country, they dont have as many sports and training opportunitys for a wide range and so the "big sport" i guess you could call it are track and field

    SilenceNoMore is partly right as for testing, aren't all athletes tested prior to the events in the Olympics? I don't know for sure but i do believe they are.
    Why is it that as soon as someone apart from us or the USA rise to the challenge and gives us a run for our money, everyone assumes they're on drugs? When America had all those golds years ago no one suspected anything until they were retested and all sorts a shit started coming out about them. Our boy was in the news for months on end trying to get pass the British board to compete after being tested positive for drugs. The Americans had their fair share of drug scandals too, so is it because our athletes can't seem to do it without drugs why you're skeptical?
    God knows, it is probably the Jamaican weed but heck i say they've got it going and instead of trying to get the little Island corrupted like ourselves we should be proud of them and be ashamed that they are the ones who are having to set the standards for US TO FOLLOW. Who knows maybe by the 2012 Olympics (which I'm going to, good thing its in London) ourselves along with the USA will have a better chance, and not have the Jamaicans jogging to the finish line while we struggle.

    Jamaica has no secret we train hard, and the end result is that we make a statment and win in record beaking times. Is it ok for the world to allow the Jamaican people to enjoy that Usain Bolt ,Varonica campbell-Brown, Shelly-ann and Asafa Powell has made our country proud not just by winning gold after gold but just the journey leading up to the game and how hard the training was on them and there families please just give credit were credit is due. My Heart salutes Jamaica. WE MADE OUR POINT WE ARE THE BEST TRY TO BEAT US 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
