There are enough people like Hal Higdon, for whom Dr. David Costle measured VO2max to essentially not change from age 36-50, that I have my doubts that age is the primary factor.

We have more and more people learning to take better care of their bodies and extend their careers. It's not like 9.93 just came out of nowhere. I just don't think a lot of older athletes work as hard as they did when they were younger.

Kim Collins, at 40 years old now, has now become the first ever masters athlete ever to break 10.00 in the 100m, running 9.93 in +1.9 m/s wind in Bottrop, Germany yesterday. The mark is a lifetime PB for him (previous 9.96) and puts him at #2 on the world list.

I'm usually the first guy to give a similar argument about athletes and aging but there is no doubt that there is a drop off even if it is slight by the time your 40. And we are talking about a guy who has been world class for a long time running the best time of his life at 40 years old. By that logic and the idea that V02 max doesnt drop till 50 years old, Lagat could go out and break the WR 1500.
If he is clean, more power to him. And here is the thing. If your clean and people are making making claims that your on PED's, that is the ultimate compliment in my book.

Are you over 40? You seem to have lost your ability to distinguish between your and you're.
Or maybe you need to set a grammar PR.

Unfortunately if your clean and 40 years old that number is higher than 9.93.
