Insane bolt melts down:

Bolt was asked about the great sprinters of all time, with the names Jesse Owens and Carl Lewis mentioned. Bolt gave props to Owens then announced, "I'm going to say something controversial."
Did he ever.
"Carl Lewis, I have no respect for him," Bolt said. "The things he says about the track athletes are very downgrading. I think he's just looking for attention because nobody really talks about him.
"I've lost all respect for him. All respect."
Bolt was asked what caused him to lose respect for Lewis.
"All drug stuff," he responded.
Four years ago, when Bolt exploded in Beijing by winning three gold medals, Lewis specifically questioned Bolt's huge time drop in the 100 meters, from 10.03 to 9.69 in the course of a year.
"If you don't question that in a sport that has the reputation it has right now, you're a fool," Lewis said. "Period."
Back to the present and back to you, Bolt.
"For an athlete to be out of the sport and be saying that is really upsetting," he said Thursday night.
