      @@wildoutrudeboy I agree, Ben Johnson was singled out. Prior the 1984 Olympics Lewis had tested positive at the World Championships...I believe it was Helsinki. There were also rumors he was on HGH and that’s why he needed braces. You’ll still see the need for braces in other sprinters, specifically the Jamaican female sprinters.
      The guy responsible for drug testing data for the 1984 Olympics said in a documentary that Lewis tested positive for steroids. He told the US Olympic Committee and they destroyed the testing results. He was a money maker, just like Lance Armstrong, so they didn’t care.
      Lastly, steroids, HGH, and other doping is endemic to Olympic sports in general. Athletes think, “I’m tired of losing to these drugged athletes, so I’m going on em.” I was in a sport where PED’s were taken by everyone...wasn’t aware this was so rampant in my naivety, thought I could win as a natural athlete and started losing. My choice was seeing a doctor for blood tests and having him start me on a protocol that included the safest drugs. The changes were night and day, though I ultimately chose within a relatively short period of time it wasn’t worth winning while risking my long term health.

      Carl didn't "come back" from anywhere. He just relaxed and decelerated a lot slower than the rest of the field & it appeared that he flew past them when he in fact he didn't try to run faster. It's just that the rest of the field decelerated much faster than Carl did. They all tightened up while Carl held his form & won the race. The fact is the human body can't go any faster than 60 meters. The last 40 meters is just maintenance of the first 60 meters!

Burrell was also 0.03 quicker over the 60-70m distance matching Lewis at that point for speed.

    It's hard to believe how fast guys are running today. I can't believe that training methods are much different today than in the 80's and 90's. It has to be the tracks of today are just faster surfaces than in the past. A 100m takes approximately 40 strides, if the new surfaces gave back just an extra .005 sec. per stride, that would equal .2 sec. Faster surfaces has to be the reason for so many sprinters today running sub-10 sec.

The ones using "designer" Performance Enhancement Drugs are the ones who have changed the game. Technology is always 1 step behind the drug cheats.
