If you can watch what Usain did, and the real conclusion you draw is "he must be on drugs even though there's no evidence, because he's too good" - then track is dead as a sport already.

SF, i'd rather think of it in another way...i'd rather take everything with a grain of salt rather than think he's the best ever and let myself down after he's found guilty.

the truth of the matter is that everytime someone runs a good 100m run, suspicion is raised on whether that persons on drugs. theres a known track record of it for the last 20-30 years, and for Usain to not only beat the most drugged 100m runner in historys' record (ben johnson) but smash it whilst clean, its only natural that questions are going to get asked.

if you like i can start a thread, and we can discuss it there. but unfortunately i cant post spreadseets or tables in here.
