given times Dix has been running and it's at the close of the season... I would say the timing was off by .40 to .50

sexual enhancement?!?!/ give me a break!!! what is that now, the excuse du jour or something?! that reminds me of kelli white's lame excuse when she was caught.
training and shoes are not that different.
track i'm not so sure about. i would suspect not too different either.
yes- these times are very hard to believe. damn hard to believe.

Because Lewis was really amazing at 200m...so was Mike Marsh...also at the 100m.
I know Dix is good, props to him--but to be like a quarter-second better than those guys at very best? Difficult to believe.
So you're not allowed to be faster than amazing runners from 20 years ago?

no. let's try to have an honest discussion here, shall we do not try to re-write history.
at 17 Bolt was a 400 runner. There was no thought of specialization as yet. He was not running any 400M for endurance. If that was the case, he would still be doing it now.
now when they ran their PBs at 17 were their 200/400 performances done in same meet thus a degradation of times due to having run rounds?
At 17 Bolt was world youth and world junior champion at 200 but he did not run the 400 at any of those event so on what basis would say he was a 400 man at that age.
Btw he still runs early season 400s for endurance (non this year due to some injuries).
No, you're not.
There is no legal reason you should be.
The best from before this era represent the best in modern history, and the best in this era the best of only a small slice in time.
Blake is not faster than Lewis, at either 100m or 200m, legally. Sorry. He's not faster than Marsh, either--or Fredericks, or Bailey, or whomever.
When Bolt was doing amazing things, everybody said it was because he was taller than the other runners. I pointed out that this was b.s., given Lewis, Obikwelu, Powell, and others.
Now what about Blake? Is he better than everybody else because he is shorter? If that's the case, why didn't Cason or Fasuba run 19.25?
I'm glad everybody is coming around to the opinions that I have been expressing here for a long time now. This WR-quality run by Blake, in the realm of a WR considered untouchable--the best of Bolt's records--is just one more piece of evidence.
And it's EARLY in Blake's career. Sure, once in your life you do something amazing on the track, after enough times you will get lucky once, and you just hope there is official timing involved. But it's so early in his career, that this is not that time--this is his "ordinary" progression. When he DOES get lucky in his career, will he run 18.9? 18.8?
Whatever. Carter is dirty, too. There is a better-than-even chance that Powell is dirty. And 9.58 is laughable, as is 19.19, and now 19.26 with a crap RT.
Walter Dix is the new Christine Arron.

I, of course, have not accused Ms. Pearson of anything. You are a liar. I only wonder why it is that you guys make accusations about and are suspicious of only black runners.
I think the upshot of all this is that the Jamaican testing agency is still bogus.
Consider this: why isn't everybody else around the world running like this? The Americans, let's say.
If the drug were totally undetectable or legal, the Americans would know about it and would be using it, and would be producing the same times. But they are not, so the drug must be illegal, and the US athletes aren't using it because they don't want to get caught by USADA.
The only way the Jamaicans can do it is with the complicity and cooperation of the Jamaican anti-doping authorities. I know there was just a shake-up, but remember: things can always get worse, not necessarily better. They pass international testing because of that complicity, and in Bolt's case, because he IS track and field.
Bolt will never be caught, he can do what he wants. The other guys are scurrying around circuit meets like cockroaches diving for cover when a light is turned on. Soon, they will realize that they will never be caught either, because if they are, they will rat out Bolt--which the authorities are NEVER going to let happen.
Somehow they need to separate Bolt from the pack, in order to bring them all down. Maybe this was just what was needed--a threat to Bolt's supremacy, to drive that wedge. We'll see if the IAAF, etc., are sufficiently astute to sense this opportunity or not--I doubt it, sports people tend to be really dense. It will also test the solidarity of the Jamaican unit, which will likely prove superior to the "intelligence" of the authorities.
Too bad.

I am not sure what "done for doping" means, but I did look into this and it seems he was found to have taken a drug that was not on the list of banned substances in 2009. However, the Jamaicans decided that the drug he took was similar to one of the banned drugs and gave him a three month suspension. Kind of like not actually committing a crime but being put on probation because it was similar to an act that is a crime. IN other words, BS
Fukc1ng idiots. We train harder,have better coaches, eat better, more talented and are just fukc1ng better.
Live with it a$$hole$. :)
You can post the fu3k off your fingers. America ain't the fukc1ng best. Thank you.

He is waiting for a adjudication on his recent positive AS WE ARGUE.
And yes you listed a group of dopers and then accuzed Sally Person. You're a fool.
You are really a fool.

You are very welcome
Do you actually stop to re-read what you wrote? Or do you just hit the post button and Bamm!...there it is? What a load of steaming bullsh*t. Is that what it has come to, just make up any wild theory and throw it into the ring? Your post is laughable.

Would you mind posting a link to back up that statement?

Just like Michael Johnson. His team mates tested positive and lost their medals, but not MJ. Hard to believe.
I've hand timed the video a dozen times and consistently come up with 19.0X. By the way I consider myself an expert hand timer. So 19.26 seems to be on point for FAT. Maybe the track was marked wrong and they only ran 195M, but from start to finish it was 19.26. Training for a sprinter probably hasn't changed much. Shoes are definitely better though. And surfaces are better too.
You do NOT train harder.
You do NOT have better coaches.
You do NOT eat better.
You are NOT more talented than other Caribbeans, West Africans, or their other descendants.
You ARE better, however--by a LOT.
That is exactly the proof that you ARE doping.
And I'm not American!
Hey Ilemy, is that the kind of rational analysis they taught you in your "university" career?
Yes,maybe 19.26 is hard to believe for a white guy.For a black guy that's par for the course.
This kind of reveals the 200 as a "whatever" event.
Blake doesn't run it for a whole year, then runs a world record. I doubt he's training specially for it.
I still want to know who the "next one" will be...Dexter Lee? Someone from another country entirely?
And what about Powell? Will he figure into the 200m bonanza?
