Imagine if letsrun was around when Bill Rodgers broke out and ran a 2:09?

I've always assumed Salazar, Rogers, Beardsley and all those white sub-2:09 guys from the 70s & 80s were on something. Doesn't everyone? Or do people really think those guys were just harder and more talented than guys like Ward and Puskedra, even with all the advances in technology, gear, and training science? It would be the only field in the world where performance declined as the body of knowledge grew. Imagine if cars today ran worse than cars from the 70s.
