Re the coment on the advantage of drugs in sprinting.
<
Read what Charlie Francis (Johnson's coach) had to say about what kind of
doping it takes in order for you not to be "setting up your blocks 1 meter
behind the rest of the field".
<
1 m is worth 0.09 seconds for a top level male sprinter running at 11 m/s.
Nowhere near the 0.34 seconds (9.79 to 10.15) difference claimed by Brian
Mcewen for Ben with and without drugs.
Charlie is claiming that Ben would have been a 9.88 sprinter without drugs.
Not that I believe Charlie's "1 m" advantage is exactly right.
