But how much could they advance? Drugs can only act on the bodily system, and PEDs usually act on hormones. You cant just make more and more drugs that improve you in a linear fashion.
Marion was taking anabolic steroids and (probably) EPO. The main difference in THG over other steroids is that is was undetectable, not that it necessarily made you any stronger than other comparative strength steroids.
Agreed if we are talking about hormonal doping but I don’t even want to think about gene doping even though its probably already here.
Again though, a .5 difference within weeks, in a non championship race is extremely peculiar. With Bolt and his lackadaisical attitude, I was much more easily able to say that the pressure from world and trying fully through the line is what led to his massive drop in the 200 from the season until championships. But Blake has always seemed to give it his all.
Repeating what I asked before, training is being done drugs or not, and I wonder what sort of training is being done that can create an unload that drops your time THAT much.
