It seems possible that Bolt is using drugs, but I don't agree at all with this sentiment that particular sports achievements are impossible.
There's no good reason to think that humans will not continue to get better at sports. Bigger, faster, stronger. No doubt about it, somebody will run 100 meters in 9.6 seconds without being on drugs. Just as somebody will eventually swim 50 meters in 20 seconds without being on drugs.
I haven't seen any sports science posted here that gives any credible research from physiology or physics to explain why certain performances, which are only incremental improvements on existing performances, are not things that it would be possible for a human to do. In fact, the exact opposite is usually the case. People go on and on about how something is impossible, then somebody does it, then the next performance goal becomes the impossible one.
Why are you always bringing up "steroid use" when it comes to the sports of strongman and powerlifting?
I think Mariusz is a user, but I think Sebastian Wenta and some others are clean as it pertains to the use of "banned" or "illegal" PEDS.
What is more odd? A bulky sprinter? Or a bulky strongman who usually doesn't involve himself with too much cardio activity?
I could be wrong, but I think that Bill Kazmaier might have been clean. He's still alive anyways. Think about all the obese people who have never lifted a weight and haven't lived as long as KAZ. So, if he was a user, it might not be all "doom-and-gloom" if done right. That's another subject altogether.
You mention "Bigger, faster, stronger" in your post, and how natural progression is possible. Does this "natural evolution" idea only apply to certain athletic pursuits and not to others? That is the question.
Strongman -- "It's the steroids"
Short land sprints -- "They are clean until we have evidence. We may be witnessing evolution."
Kayak sprints -- "It's the steroids"
Tour de France -- "It's the steroids"
Let's face it... some people will do ANYTHING to win, and this applies to practically EVERY sport. I, for one, won't emulate the anti-White Caste media line which states, "If a White achieves, it must be chemically enhanced; Let's start sowing doubts."
If someone is on steroids in a sport where it's use is prohibited, evidence of this steroid use would be great. After all, how do we really know if someone's achievement is "clean" or not...
