With more of an emphasis on testing and more ability to detect banned substances, do you think anyone will ever break MJ's 200 record?
I don't know if he was juiced, but that's a sick record and will probably take someone juiced to break it.

Was there not something...hmmm speacial(not short) ..about the track?
I have just the juice you need. It costs only $995 for a month's supply.
no need to train for years like MJ, just send your money to juiceareus.com and see AMAZING IMPROVEMENTS OVERNIGHT.
Yep, Crawford will run sub 19. (He has said he is going to, wants to, or thinks he can or something like that)
Crawford looks juiced.
MJ's 19.32 WR will be broken on August 8, 2029.

Supposedly, hard as a rock. Torn up right after the Games, and thus avoided scrutiny for IAAF standards.
if any1 was goin to do it, it will be the jamacian sprint sensation known as usain bolt, who ran 19.97 at the age of 17. Watch out 4 this kid this year as long as his hamstring can hold out. Also if asafa powell begins to train harder he cus be a threat. but ur right crawford does look gud ova 200m, his top speed his phenominal.
No one will touch it for a while, I'll say at least another 10 years. However, I'd like to predict that Wallace Spearmon will go about 19.5 before he hangs up his spikes.
No.
Why are hard tracks better for sprinters?
Why not just run the sprints out on the street?
I heard that the track in Atlanta was as hard as the IAAF would allow.
Why are hard tracks faster for sprints?
Does this mean if the sprints were run on concrete the times would be ridiculously fast?
I heard that the track in Atlanta was in compliance with IAAF standards, it was as hard as they allow.
simple energy return.
if no energy is absorbed by the surface, it is all used to propel the runner's legs on down the track.
...of course, one does need the spikes to penetrate the surface.
I will break it this weekend at Santa Anita. I guarantee sub 12. No horeshit!
Sorry, that should read no HORSESHIT! Damn they spiked my oats again!
Of the well-known sprinter's right now I'd the say the likelihood of a 200m WR is ranked as follows:
1. Usain Bolt (If his hamstring heals up completely)
2. Wallace Spearmon
3. Shawn Crawford
4. Asafa Powell
5. Jason Rexing (If he slows down enough for the FAT system to clock him)
6. LaShawn Merritt
7. Xavier Carter
8. Lance Armstrong
9. Alan Webb (If he moves down because he's scared of Lagat)
10.Dathan Ritzenhein (If he doesn't have any blisters)
"10.Dathan Ritzenhein (If he doesn't have any blisters)"
Seriously, how fast do you think Ritz could run a 200 in? 23?
No, it will never ever be broken.

We heard that line of thinking in 1988 when Ben Johnson was busted.
It appears that more emphasis on testing and more ability to detect banned substances didn't slow down Marion Jones in 2000 or Tim Montgomery in 2002.
I can't see the testers ever catching up with the doctors.
Someone will have the right juice, the right track, the right weather and the right execution someday and 19.32 will be off the books.
By the way, I am still waiting for a second person to jump farther than Bob Beamon.
