Women in their thirties consistently cruising 10.7. Historically fast, all looking better than they have in years. After a year of limited competition and limited drug testing. This is the sequel to Seoul '88, the next dirtiest race in history

It’s not the age - the drugs aren’t making up for a slight decline in protein elastin and neural plasticity - that have me sceptical, it’s the improvement across the board. Something has led to these massive improvements. Is it equipment? Is it a prolonged off season last year? Is it the rest from competition / peaking? And, if it is down to the latter, then what does that say about how they’re usually going about things.
SAFP’s technique does look markedly different under her new coach, but at a certain point (shutting down and running low 9.7s) it becomes silly.
Lol, 10.61. Not buying it. Those medals are only borrowed

Buddy, if LRC had its way, they would find a couple actual dopers, kick them out, catch someone for weed and throw them out, nab someone else for poor elocution and disqualify them, all the way until they came to a white woman and then they will make a million threads about how her HGH and man jaw comes naturally from magical burritos.
I don't know why you would not believe it. If Slovenia, a country with 2M people can produce 2 of the 3 Grand Tour winners, or do a 1-2 in the TDF the same year in sport that has a strong anti-doping policy and where it is apparently difficult to dope nowadays, why would it be shocking shocking to see Jamaicans make a 1-2-3 in the 100m
Just looking at that photo near the finish with the 3 Jamaicans way out front of the field tells me a lot. It's as if the top 3 are on another level and the rest are racing for 4th. If you hide the top 3, the finish makes a lot more sense as far as a clean(er) race would be concerned. Those "Jamaican yams" sure do wonders.

Boss, they all dirty. Including the ones not making finals.
You think those Swiss girls are clean ?
4th place was the 'true' winner, just like Seoul.

+1
Jamaica just more full gas than the Euro and Americans. It's not who's doping and who's not, it's who is allowed to dope the most.
Not here to sling around wild accusations about doping just because someone runs fast, but I noticed they were all wearing the new nike sprint spikes with that weird looking cushion. Could end up being more like the Rio marathon than Seoul 88.

It is nothing new. This has been the sport for over forty years.
Should be infamous , but maybe they will sell pharmaceuticals?

Look at Devers talk about all these hormone abuse type symptoms while she was one of the best runners in the world. Now she sells pills.

That crossed my mind as well. But then, why aren't we seeing great times from the Nike men? And why aren't any of the younger athletes hitting 10.7 other than Richardson? Others have suggested the track is quick but again, why aren't the men running fast?
I want to believe everyone is clean, it's just difficult looking at the progression over the last year of the top-4. When have we have ever seen clean late-career improvements of this kind? Mo Farah? Anybody at all in the sprints?

Why are Swiss girls running around 11 seconds an issue?
A whole bunch of Jamaicans jogging 10.7 performances is dodgy, "but but what about the women straining to break 11 seconds, they must be dodgy too?" isn't a great defence.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Like what's the point of this thread? It's not like there's gonna be accountability if OP is way wrong & if OP is right we already know cheating is rampant in athletics. Just gotta appreciate the results in real time & not think too hard. Gotta believe everyone is doing similar enough things to get on the start line.

No more like Tongan tourist athlete with a big gut and bubble butt who runs a 13.X is awarded the gold X years down the line.
