Was this guy not already a convicted doper?
I guess I'm knew around here, but what does it mean to be wind legal?

Yea. I think it was DHEA? I hear he has the longest list of supplements out of any USA track and field athletes.

With legal tailwind: not more than 2.0 meters per second. ( 0.9 mps tailwind in this race)
Where was the race?
Nvm I looked it up. Chris Brown Invitational in the Bahamas.

Bahamas.
Kirani James won the 400m (44.36)
Tony McQuay and Wariner were second and third
Bold prediction here:
Merritt moves into top 3 all time this year. ~43.35
Who do ya'll think has more potential? Lashawn or Wayde?
LaShawn Merritt smashed his 200m pr of 19.98 (+1.4) of 2007 with this 19.78 (.8 m/s). He has run 43.65 in the 400m, at Beijing in 2015, as well as 43.74 in Moscow in 2013, and 43.75 in Beijing in 2008. He is now 29. He is certainly on track to challenge the world record at 400m this year, but I'll predict 43.35. Don't want to do anything too noticeable.

What do you mean longest? Why is it so extended? This isn't a hard question.

Everyone is doped?
I hope I never end up that suspicious.
By the way was anyone there? What was the wind round the bend?
And I reckon WR to win the Olympics. At 19.8, double + 3,5 makes 43.1. With two of them at that level plus James, the WR should go.
.2 faster at 200m, x2=.4 faster at 400m (of course, it does not work just like that when you are comparing different races). .4 faster would put him at 43.25.
On the other hand, if you can run 19.78 in April, what can you run in July or August? Surely faster. If he was in 19.60 shape, could he run 43.1? I think so.
johnson ran 19.32 but could only muster 43.18, yet merrit can run a WR if he's only in 19.6 shape?? what's your reasoning?
The wind was probably the only thing that was legal.

You are spot on. I was given the same information today regarding makhloufi.
Gatlin 9.90
Shaunae Miller 49.70
Tori Bowie 22.26
Lots of fast times early in the season.
