I've heard off and on for years on this board that Bobby Kersee is widely suspected of drugging up his Olympic athletes, going back to JJK in the 80s (whose records still haven't been touched, by the way). Wasn't Flojo coached by Kersee too?
However, over the years, I've heard very little suspicion of Allyson Felix and none regarding Sydney McLaughlin. Now, it's true that both of these athletes had very gradual progressions since being ultra-elite high school athletes. They haven't blown away records like Flojo or JJK. Maybe Kersee has backed off in recent years?
Regarding McLaughlin, however, I submit to you the story Rojo linked in another thread this morning. Look at Sydney's facial features in the photo.
Something's changed a little there, similar to what we've seen in other steroid athletes. Has Kersee administered some levels of the stuff that's boosted her just enough to lower those hurdle times this year like she has? I just don't understand why she (and to a lesser degree, Felix) gets a free pass when Kersee is widely suspected of doping his athletes from a previous generation.
