Hi Darrell
Welcome back!
How do you figure that Johnson was only a good sprinter, not a great one?
Given his times and dominance, this position is only supportable if you
argue that he was a good sprinter who became great solely because of drugs.
Thus, by my reckoning, either you have to argue that everyone else was clean
and that Johnson's winning margin represents the margin drugs give you, OR
you have accept that Johnson was not the only clean athlete and that his
winning margin was down to greater talent.
Which is it? Either he would have been a great anyway, or he was the only
100m runner taking drugs in 1988.
