Dawn Harper too.
there was a few weird jaws in the 400m hurdles last nite
i don't see people like this on the street -only at hte olympics
I have noticed the same thing and after reading all the letsrun posts I did a little google search and confirmed it as one of the effects of human growth hormone. I am sure there are all sorts of mixes of PEDS that produce different results.
I was disappointed to see the jaw protuberance on a sweet girl like felix. Somehow when a women changes her appearance and suddenly sports large muscles you can be suspicious early and not as shocked. But felix doesn't have bulging muscles, but still she has quite the jaw protuberance.
Now certainly all these people with signs can be clean but this whole topic casts a shadow over the games and everyone in it.

Actually by far the most pronounced was 2nd place in the LJ. Unless she had some serious wads of gum in both cheeks.
Unless you're actually an expert on HGH, you're just looking at people with any kind of jawline and deciding they're juicing up. For one thing, you'd want to compare to previous pictures, and you still wouldn't be sure. Please stop saying everyone with a visible chin is using HGH.
Honestly, I would hate to throw out any sort of accusation. But when you see adults with acne and braces and ever-expanding jawlines, well, it starts to beg a question.

I don't think Felix belongs on that list at all. Nor Symmonds. Demus is a good example of the lower jaw jutting out abnormally. Along with the acne and braces this really highlights her.
Allyson's facial shape is slightly elongated but her lower jaw is not abnormal. I don't really see it in Symmonds either.

Or what about this photo of her
http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://conference.syncweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/sync_conference/2011/02/tumblr_lafarzu3oE1qa2iui.jpg&imgrefurl=http://conference.syncweekly.com/index.php/tag/dave-chappelle/&usg=__uJlJFrNDqIkffa2-FQhp__AK48o=&h=160&w=200&sz=6&hl=en&start=7&sig2=n0hJy7PKXKCixuoeDto5pA&zoom=1&tbnid=bL37GbGR1C3zGM:&tbnh=83&tbnw=104&ei=wcwjUMTWKqjd0QHui4CwAg&prev=/search%3Fq%3Ddave%2Bchappelle%2Bas%2Bcrackhead%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26rlz%3D1I7DLUS_en%26authuser%3D0%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1I think it is mean to tear people's look apart on message boards, but I have to admit that something might be up with Demus. I think she has always been a rather normal looking woman, but something seems to be going on lately... She has such a nice looking family that I don't want to believe it, but I also imagine she would do about anything to get a gold medal based on the interviews that I have seen.
Another possibility is that these woman are just naturally high in testosterone, which is one reason they are good athletes in the first place. Higher testosterone can lead to these types of things.
My wife made a comment last night after the 100 hurdles about how she just didn't look healthy. I'd have to agree, but maybe she has just been training like an animal and hasn't really taken care of herself as she should.
Anyway, I like her and hope she is clean. I am sure that if you threw any of us in front of a camera after a hard effort, we wouldn't look very good.
Another thing I noticed is Bolt's rapid hair loss. Although, he is at that age so it could be natural. I haven't really seen many pictures of him since last Olympics, so 4 years is a long time and he probably just lost it naturally.
I assume people's faces change somewhat with age. Obviously if you gain weight, etc. Acne can show up at any time as well. So these things aren't always a giveaway.
What I find odd about the Demus photos is that she appears to have very perfect top teeth in 2008, so why does she now have braces across them in 2012?
Have you seen the jaw on Sally Pearson ? That should tell
you why she is running so fast.
I have to admit seeing Demus last night n NBC was really pretty shocking. Never noticed anything like that acne on her before, and braces at her age...well, whatever.

See, this is what I'm talking about. A completely normal-looking person is on HGH because...what? You can see her jaw? She doesn't have a double chin?
http://i.usatoday.net/sports/_photos/2012/08/07/Australias-Sally-Pearson-wins-100-hurdles-6A216QIM-x-large.jpgSee, if you were saying she's too muscular, I might give you that. But her jaw is normal.
she also doesn't have zits all over her face. the zits now when demus didn't have them in college is pretty telling.
