its all to do with the genetic make up.. nothing else.
go and research 'fast twitch fibres'.. this will tell you why black men are faster than white.

of course not jiggly, and its not that there arent fast white people they just do other sports or just dont think they could do it

you also have to take into account his reaction time. if he had a particularly good start that day, he could shave off almost 0.1 seconds

Keep in mind Padget also had a very long collegiate season. His slower times in Europe were probabaly due to fatigue. During the college season, the man still put up a 9.96 legal. He also had a few times in the 10.0x region, some of which were done into headwinds. When comparing his time at Eugene with his better performanes from the college season (with wind taken into account), we're only talking about a 0.05 second difference. Nothing that would indicate an inaccurate wind reading.
