jphoenix, you make a lot of good points.
Ramil's improvement is remarkable and certainly beyond the usual. Bolt's improvement was even more remarkable.
We should be suspicious of both.
As I said before, we have no way of knowing, but I want to believe Ramil is clean. Because I know that white sprinters can run fast too. But they are often not given the chance to fully develop, for the simple fact that they are white. Even on Track and Field News discussion board, one guy was saying Ramil is not white. He only suggested this after Ramil ran 20.04. The implication was that if he ran that fast, then he can't be white. That is racism.
With Bolt, not only has improvement been remarkable, but now his times are so far beyond everyone else, it's hard not to suspect him.
But who knows? Maybe he's that good.
I will also agree that PEDs don't always lead to increased muscle mass, but in sprinters it usually does.
Anyway, I hope you don't leave this site. I also enjoy your objective comments and analysis.
