No one said Jamaica was dominating, I think what was said that Jamaica has hardly come out of nowhere, and you data shows supports that assertion. in 2000 and 2004 Jamaica was basically 2nd to the USA in sprint events, and in 2000 you know the USA team was a bit tainted. In 2008 without the aid of Balco we were basically nowhere.
Then look at Bolt once more, he is the youngest every world junior championship gold medal winner at any event. At 15 he was beating his peers what more can one do. Yes Gay was beating him at one point, but what was the age difference, one was a mature sprinter one was a growing sprinter with bad technique
If history of drug use is what we use to doubt the performance of a nation, then, all US performances are drug tainted. We have Gatlin, we have a number of athletes associating with Block. We have a history of sustained drug use and off course apart from East Germany, no nation every had a Balco like program. [quote]Trackgal33455 wrote:
