Now, you can accuse Blake of many things, not the least of which is that he failed a drug test for a stimulant in 2009 and received a three-month suspension. Others have said more (I will not). You can even point to Friday’s race as being too good to believe. But if you say he’s a Johnny-come-lately, you either didn’t do your homework, or you’re being intellectually dishonest. And Hersh knows how to fact-check.
I don't understand why you keep supporting your theory.
The numbers you displayed tells exactly the opposite of what you're saying.
He is supposed to have run 19.26 because he's now a very good 100 m (I agree), because he's been running 20.xx for several years. But even Gay, with all his talent and experience, never ran such an incredible time, with such an improvment.
And If you look at the race, he had a awfull start (0.26x reaction time), and went out of the bend with several other runners. He then "fly" to the finish line, leaving Dix run a "pedestrian like" run.
Here are some numbers from IAAF all time top list. Don't tell me you don't see what's wrong with it!
