@zerocool
thanks for telling me bro. -
No problem

Don't really follow track and field guys, but do Walter Dix who ran at FSU and Tyson ? who ran at Arkansas still run competitively??? Also I remember a dude named Michael Ray Garvin that ran track and played cornerback for FSU that put up a 4.27 at the combine. He had stints with the Cardinals and Lions in the NFL but didn't last long I figured he'd try to get back into running.

Nah, that ? probably being triple tested.
The doctors n athletes always been a step ahead.They takin somethin now that will be in the news in 5 yrs
Nah, Gatlin's new times are largely because he was improved his running form during the latter parts of the 100m.
If you look back to when he ran 9.85 at Athens he was seizing up during the end of the 100m, which probably lowered his time by a great deal. During his run at the Diamond League finals he was more relaxed, and his stride stayed open.
Athens
Ngga...you do not get older and get faster. EVER. in life. In the history of life. It simply does not happen. -

He's been tested throughly for this race. He's very clean by T&F standards. Anyways, you can improve your time at the age of 32. Being 32 doesnt mean that you become slower, like bold child said his technique had changed.
A runner's stride is so important, especially for sprinting. -

I didn't say he got "faster."
I said his times got better because he improved his running form. -

He's an elite runner who's been in the top 1% of the game for 10-15 yrs. And you're telling me he 'changed his form' after all these years. So his old form wasnt working??...
Foh, sir. -

Yes, his form and technique was never perfect to begin with. You're vastly underestimating how technical a sprint is at this level, your start, how long you decide to drive, how fast or slow you transition from your drive phase, whether you lean or not, etc. All of that can make the difference between being an Olympic level sprinter, or just being some "regular" cat running 10.0x.
It's something similar with Usain Bolt's situation, the first few years Bolt was a pro no one heard about him because he was getting blasted. A little bit of this was because of his age, but just a bit. When Bolt went pro he was running 20.? , and occasionally 19.9's and ? , the ? he was running at age 17.(actually slower)
Then he switched coaches, and suddenly he was blowing people out of the water. -

@boldchild soooo much right!!!
A sprinter technique is so important.
