Patriot09,
Have you visited Charlie180's site, Charlie's Space? His articles are almost always incorrect in their statistics, and quixotic in their conclusions. Here is a from his article Fastest White Man:
"This makes me wonder all the more about Woronin, he only ever ran that fast once, he never ran under 10.20s again, rarely under 10.30s, yet in nearly 25 years, only one man has really even come close."
False. Every single one of Marian Woronin's top ten races are under 10.2 seconds. Although he was never the Championship performer or all-around sprinter that Allan Wells was, Woronin is one of the fastest white men in history for a reason. He could fly. Not to mention his 50m of 5.65 is the 26th fastest 50 meter dash ever run. So next time Charlie tries to say that Woronin's 9.992, or 10.00(2.0), was dubious, ignore him. Here is the link confirming his top ten races ever, averaging 10.14. VERY fast.

I could go on and on. He even praises Japenese runners, saying they are very fast, yet they have not come close to any times by a white man in the 50 or 60 meter, and do not possess any individual medals except one for the 200m with a bronze. Not to mention Charlie's lack of foresight that we here at CF possess. He stated that he would be happy if any white went under 10.10 this year, because that was more than he could ask for. Simone Collio (10.06), Christophe Lemaitre (10.04), and Ramil Guliyev (10.08) must have answered his call.
Worst of all he is a Brit that does not appreciate how good Allen Wells was. A gold medal in the 1980 Moscow Olympics in a time of 10.25 seconds on one of the coldest Olympic nights in history (it was Moscow). Before he had slowed up to a 10.11 (he said it could have been 10.08 had he not slowed down). At the time that was one of the fastest non-altitude runs in history. He also got silver in 200 meter in 20.21 seconds, another British record. The last clean one, and the last great clean sprinter. Sadly, even Mennea had taken HGH. It was the beginning of a new age. Wells had chased down Ben Johnson later in 1982, but thus marked the beginning of a new era. We all know how much steroids helped the JAMAICAN Ben Johnson. Much like Linford Christie, Tim Montgomery, Justin Gatlin....Well, the video speaks for itself. As you can see, Wells runs down a 9.98 speed Silvio Leonard, and beats a 10.13 Peter Petrov. Here is a quote from his biography:
"He then demonstrated his calibre by finishing first in the "IAAF Golden sprints" in Berlin (the most prestigious sprint event on the athletics calendar); although defeated by the Frenchman Hermann Panzo in the 100, he dominated the top four American sprinters in the 100/200, 10.15/20.15 (200 wind assist) Wells winning in an aggregate 30.30."
