You forgot to add an asterisk next to Shericka Jackson and ETH.
How so? They haven’t been popped & have been tested. Jamaicans like yams. Did they eat too many?
As for SAFP’s oxycodone suspension, I really don’t believe that deserves an asterisk. It’s not a PED and while it is abused, I would think that an athlete that is abusing it would see performance suffer, not improve. She probably had some from a surgery and took it too close to testing and hence had the metabolites on board.

No, she claimed she accidentally took one of her coach's pills.
this is a very misleading summary, so here is a better one:
"her positive result was due to medication her coach recommended for a toothache, and that she had neglected to properly declare it.[55][56] She later stated, "[I'm] supposed to set examples – so whatever it is I put in my body it's up to me to take responsibility for it and I have done that.""
Tarsis Orogot of Alabama ran a 19.60 and Robert Gregory ran 1973 both with a wind of 2.9 m/s
These insane times make me question the wind readings, which are always squirrelly in the 200 anyway.
Of course Alfred is 21.91-capable. Vid???
That 21.80 by Steiner is down there. I would need to see something very special on the Alfred vid to say that she will get it. Based on what I have seen, the 100 is her shot at greatness right now.

A big ol’ asterisk should be next to a few of those names.
Is this better?

If you are going to call out the East Germans you have to call out Americans. As dirty as anybody. They just cover it up much better.
