Jamaica was never implicated, but there is no way the sport of Track and Field would allow their greatest star to be taken out in a doping scandal, it would destroy the sport, which is already struggling.
There's no way they weren't doping when the top US runners who were pretty much tied with Blake for second fastest (Gay and Gatling?) were both busted for doping around the same time all those records were being set. Track and Field just turned a blind eye as they knew that unlike baseball they don't have the following to survive a doping scandal like that. Bolt breaking all those records did the impossible, it got kids actually interested in track lol.
Doping is rampant in most sports sadly, heck if you still have Leftflix pull up their documentary Icarus, it started as a film maker trying to improve his bicycle racing times and just happened to be at the time the Ruskies got caught.
