A full 30 years that 100m World record has stood, no one has got remotely close to breaking it!
It's a 2.5% reduction in time from the previous world record, quite remarkable.
Mind you, if you only look at times for athletes who have not been found guilty of doping, Usain Bolt's record time is a 2.2% reduction which you could argue is even more *remarkable*.
If everyone was doing it, then one person still stands above the rest. This may be an unfashionable opinion, but I'm committed to it. Yes, Barry Bonds was far and away the best player of his era. And yes, prior eras did stuff to get an edge, such as speed. Mike Schmidt on the Phillies, yadda yadda. I'm sure there's a lot of crap current athletes do to gain an edge, even when it's not detectable drugs. We will gain an understanding of it after the fact.
What I want to know, who are all these white b!tches in Seoul in 1988.

Pretty fast though, I suppose.
