You further prove that you have no idea what you’re talking about. Ben Johnson had already been using drugs for years in 1984. How 1984 was one of the cleanest Olympics, I have no idea since there was no random testing at the time. Maybe you could fill us in on how it was any cleaner than the Olympics before it.
And I’m sorry, but any benefit the altitude has (or the facilities in Arkansas) is surely outweighed by the fact that it is:
1. Not the peak of their season… and in fact in the middle of a very dense collegiate season
2. Not the same hype as the Olympics
3. Not supposed to be the BEST ATHLETES IN THE WORLD–just one conference or one region of the NCAA
Just so we can see DBAndre’s ignorance on this issue again:
2000 Olympics… supposed to be one of the dirtiest and more than half have been implicated in drug use

That Olympic final is supposed to include some of the GREATEST SPRINTERS OF ALL TIME… Again, the NCAA guys are not even at the peak of their season and they’ve had to go through so many meets, week to week, to get to this point. Still, not even the same stimulus as the Olympics… Most of these guys are under 21… I mean hell we don’t need to continue this.
