Maybe its because no-one cares very much for speculating on what happened 40 years ago. In the grand scheme of things, It isn't going to change much.

obviously some ppl do care, otherwise there wouldnt be a thread. the point is that drug use in the 60s was much more prevalent than it is today. like i said, drugs were part of a track routine...no testing was done either. thats why the performances were incredible. ive seen routines published in books that have the training regimen, plus the dosing...and these are college and elite athlete journals...not just eastern block government programmes.

You cant be sure of anything. You are just making guesses. And it will change nothing.

this whole fucking thread shits me...oh for some intelligent conversation...

Carl Lewis progressed 0.07 seconds over a decade from the early 1980s to the early 1990s..then he managed 0.06 better to win in tokyo. His 200m times didnt improve at all from 1983 until retirement. That to me sounds like a pretty clean athlete..or at least one who's performances dont scream "suspicious"...

i think you've proven exactly the point i am making. Here we have a human being, running on cinders, probably eating a relatively high fat diet, with little quality food compared to today, following low tech training regimen, probably consisting of minimal resistance training, and without the assistance of the same knowledge base of today- and yet he STILL runs arguably as quick as they do today. This can be said for many athletes in the 60s and 70s. So what was going on then?
