and him calling out Carl Lewis, the most hated sprinter of all time was awesome! that was what put him over the top for me. Lewis was on drugs just like the rest of them, like Johnson, like Christie, like Williams. He just didn't get caught.
One of the biggest travestys for sprinting in the past 100 years is that Carl Lewis never tested positive and FloJo never tested positive even the whole world knew they were doping.

I'm sorry but giving high fives and fist bumps to volunteers does not mean you can't be arrogant. It means he's a showman along with being arrogant IMO. I just don't care for the poses, the hand gestures and the slowing down at the end to show up the other runners.
I honestly couldn't give a rats @$$ what he said about Lewis, that has nothing to do with my opinion that he is arrogant. Any criticism of Lewis is well deserved IMO.
It's not a big deal, I see arrogance in him and you don't, its as simple as that. He has the right to be arrogant, just as Roger Federer does, I just don't see the arrogance in Federer that I do in Bolt. I'm not saying he's the most arrogant person in sports, I'm only comparing him to Federer and he is not nearly as humble and likable as Roger IMO.
