Especially the 400m. After 250 meters, the aerobic factor comes into play.
yes
i think epo/blood transfusions woud be worth in region of a prelim estimate of 0.75 - 1.0s for 400m, 2.0 - 2.5s for 800 & 5 - 6s for 1500
In fact I think most of the sub 44 times are EPO times.
the big break thru in the event came in '87 when butch & egbunike went 44.1 or +
there was no epo in '87
