The manager for world-record-holder Usain Bolt, Ricky Simms, termed an internet blog post associating the Jamaican sprinter to admitted steroids dealer “nonsense.”

The website Deadspin posted an article under the headline, “What Do Usain Bolt And Juan Manuel Marquez Have In Common? They Train With The Same Admitted Steroids Dealer.”

From Universalsports.com:

The accusation is rooted in the seedy, often speculative world of boxing promotion.

On Saturday, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is set to fight Juan Manuel Marquez, who has apparently bulked up significantly since the last time the two fought.

It must be noted, that Bolt himself bulked up in between the 2010 and 2011 seasons, which he said was in effort to prevent some of the chronic back injuries that had bothered him throughout his career.

Alex Ariza, the strength and conditioning coach of Pacquiao, in questioning how Marquez had gotten so big so fast was quoted in The Philippine Star saying, “I guess (he’s working with) the same guys who work with Usain Bolt.”
