Is it possible that the fastest man in the world, the man who in just two seasons has built a media and even economic empire, a few months after the last European title in Munich (which confirmed the Olympic and world indoor titles) is not yet a recognized king, who has to put aside the scepter to hold a knife with which to fight with white weapons on the track?
