@glower125 Funny, because the track world thinks Jamaica is on drugs. Jeter i think looks dirty, but i think gay and dix are clean. Honestly, the most suspicious nation is Jamaica, esp with Yohan Blake doing what he did in the 200m. In reality, some are questionable others are more obvious in their drug use. I think Jeter, based on her change in physique, is the latter. Bolt, we can assume he is a natural, but Blake beating Michael Johnson's record in the 200m? Come on! It's a dirty sport

what a cheat..americans are resorting to drugs again because they are getting their asses kicked by other countries...on drugs and they can hardly win..what a shame.

tyson gay on drugs..jeter on drugs..Dix on drugs..they even put sanya richards on drugs because she can't win..i hope they keep urine sample for few years until the tests caught up with new drugs just like the chinese did in the olympics that is why the americans were super mediocre in bejin.

You're clearly missing it. It's not only about strength! Look at Allyson Felix; are you saying that skinny lady is juicing also? NO, it's about FORM! Why doesn't everyone do this? Everyone has DIFFERENT form, period! Does strength play a role? Absolutely. Is strength the only factor? Absolutely not! After high school, I started over & retrained myself w/a totally different form. 2 months later, I smoked my coach & 5 guys who'd just beaten me consistently. Was I juicing? Hell no! FORM

@stevie586 do you not realise that increasing stride length with turnover requires loads more strength than most women have?...if it didnt, everyone would run like that wouldnt they?..why dont they?- because the strength required is superhuman for women. how do they do it then?- errr, strength enhancing chemicals. very effective?- yes indeedy. unfortunately androgens effect different people in different ways..theres no check list to decide whos on. measuring speed is a pretty good indicator tho

[rcaddict72]

@stevie586 no i dont assume that at all. what i do is go through years of history, watch athletics like a hawk, apply statistics and trending, allow for wind, age of athletes, genders and so on,..plus i watch what others do throughout their careers- where they train, what testing they have, what events they go to, what ones they dont, whether there is a pattern, corresponding performances and much much more. only then do i come up with some sort of conclusion.

@rcaddict72 Why can't someone just work hard and win? She was fast and pulled up...leaving her out for a few years. When she came back, she had an EXCELLENT trainer. They did the same thing w/her they did w/Flo-Jo w/same results. Increased her stride length w/same turn-around speed....very effective. Look at her brilliant form. Listen to her girly high-pitched voice! You just can't assume every winner is a drug cheat just because!

[rcaddict72]

drug cheat. no doubt in my mind. and yes, another american. gone from also ran to second fastest time ever in her late 20s. more than a little suspicious.

When the Ja females came 1,2,3 in Beejing,there was a lot of talk about drugs,and how come VCb wasn't in it and.3 new females and they won.People forget that Sherone who got silver was the top female sprinter in 06,doing 22s twice,and 10.82 in 100.she even ran the relay in athens 04,and ran down Marian and caused her to drop the baton.she was only 19.

Yes Bolt was getting beat by Gay and Carter and even Spearmon at one time,but he was younger than they were.he is way younger than Gay.Bolt ran 19.93 as a 16y0,class 2 athelete without any real coaching,just raw talent,and he did not go flat out either,he never does.I wasn't surprized what he did in the 100 in Beejing.easing up.
