Me & my brother used to run for Yorkshire, my old man still has the paper cuttings. I was fast at the 100mtrs when younger but had two seizures when I was 11 and after that was never the same, never won one again. I still used to win the 800mtr and cross countries championships. It was good because we used to run for Wombwell and that had an old gravel track and we were beating all the kids that trained at Dorothy Hyman & Herringthorpe, both modern tracks.

For as long as the labs are in front of the testers you'll never find clean sport....not at the highest level anyway.

That's what the pessimist in me thinks. But then again, why did Bolt avoid testing positive when his own team members failed?

Better finances = more accurate clearance times,better screening/lab evaluations....basically a better service from molecular level up...................or plain old fashioned " face of sport " corruption,take your pick.

I'm not sure mate. Why make him the "chosen" one and not someone else? If corruption is rife, why not just run a sport corrupted and let them all off? Why drag the sport through the dirt like that?

They are probably much quicker than that mate.I was in the high 14's/15's from the top of my head and I think I was in the 8-11 age group, it may have been in the 11-13's though so would have to check.

This is 30 years ago and we never really trained that hard, youngsters these days will be light years ahead.

Now you have to go and spoil it mate.

Is there anything you don't exaggerate about mc....bet you told your lass you got 10 inch...lol

So I just had a quick look at Google thought I would check out Ronaldo and Mbappe...both did a 30 meter run...and from those times it worked out at 11.60 seconds....both these guys are renowned for being quick....so don't tell me some 15 year old is running in the 10,s
