Allen Wells doubtful
What astounds Wells is the way runners now keep their form going throughout an entire summer. "I know the work I put into it and I know how hard it was psychologically," he said. "I was totally knackered at the end of the season - it was like a boxer, you're so focused and concentrated that you can only last so long. Now they break records at the end of the season. That's incredible."
Wells added that he is disillusioned with the ineffectiveness of dope testing. While the IAAF this week confirmed that none of the 127 tests at last month's World Indoor Championships had been positive, that is no cause for celebration because Marion Jones passed 160 tests, but is in jail after lying about her drugs use.
In other words ineffective dope testing is used to make the track and filed sport look more interesting, and black athletes are reaping the benefits. Because of the stereotype that they are faster they get the blind eye more often, and whites are watched more closely so nobody gets suspicious of why a white man like Kenteris is winning. Like Wells said, we need a more effective way to test for drugs, but the IAFF doesn't want to. Sometimes I doubt they will ever catch bolt for the blow the sport would take for it.
Simple solution: make track an amateur sport. That way blacks are uninterested, and nobody invests steroids into it.
Very good post...Yeah, that is very true that the fast white guy like Kenteris is immediately under scrutiny for steroids when he wins, but many DW track fans assume Bolt is clean. If you look back to before the 1988 Olympics when Ben Johnson got caught for cheating, 3 men had gone sub 10 and 6 out of the 8 sub 10 wind legal times at non-altitude, were by Carl Lewis and the record was only 9.93. Steve B posted about this and I was amazed by it. He also stated that from his research out of the sub 10.10 times prior to Ben Johnson's famous run, approximately 15% of them were from white men. The rest were black men I presume.
I watched the 100 meter final that Alan Wells won in Moscow on Youtube. The U.S pulled out of this Olympics, but there were 5 white men in the 100 meter final that year, 3 black. I would presume that from let's say 1972 up through 1988, that most 100 meter finals had maybe 2-6 white men in them. The moral of the story here is that steroids changed everything because people saw how much it helped Ben Johnson. Blacks still competed at a high rate back in that era from some Carribean nations, the U.S etc. (although Jamaica wasn't a track force yet) but you can see that whites were at least competitive.
I look to this era of integrated track where we saw Borzov, Mennea and Wells (and Woronin hit 10 flat- only .03 off Calvin Smith's non altitude record in Zurich from the same summer) do so well. To me this proves that whites should still be at least close to 15% of the sub 10.10 times. The weight training methods haven't changed much at all since the late 1970s. All that's changed is a total black supremacy myth and the black athlete's ability to take on Herculean workout regiments with the help of steroids to account for their lower aerobic recovery tendencies. With this they are able to bulk their hamstrings muscles to new found levels. We now have almost 70 sub 10 black men that fit the criteria mentioned, compared to just 3 BARLEY doing it just 21 years ago in 1988.
I for one believe that the U.S Pilot program is pretty solid and we are for the first time going to start to see the majority of U.S track stars go clean from steroids with this program. This is only after the sour taste of the Balco scandal/ Marion Jones arrest etc.
We are going to see an era of slower U.S times with only occasional cheats, but an era of Caribbean supremacy that will wake people up to the truth.
I hope this isn't just a dream and becomes reality. HGH is still going to be present though, because the Pilot program doesn't increase the risk of catching you for that chemical much (very short traceable life), but it is mostly steroids that is making blacks so dominant at 100 meters anyway. When the typical winning 100 meter times at the Olympics go back up at least to 9.9-10.05 then whites will have a chance to get at least an occasional medal again.
My best guess is that the best black time without roids for a freak like Bolt (even without roids, this guy would be the best ever) in my lifetime would be maybe high 9.7s and the best possible time for a white sprinter would be about 9.9. We need to cut this gap between white and black legit records at least in half to defeat the black supremacists.
After all, the only clear cut provable advantage that blacks have right now in athletics is from 25 meters-300 meters. I have looked at enough NFL combine times to see that the top white speed position players have a tendency to have slightly better 10 yard clips, virtually equal 20 yard clips, and fall off about .05 seconds by 40 yards.
BTW, Starwars I will read your article soon, and tell you my thoughts. I haven't had time yet to read it! Is it long?
