Just proves that jumping vertically is really hard and drugs don't help much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have no doubts both Powell and Carl Lewis were on the juice (they both broke the world record in that 1991 competition). However the winner of this world championship - Manyonga - is the most consistently jumper of 8.50+ jumps in history and could take the record one day. He says he's jumped 8.80+ in training. The guy is a former crystal meth addict as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in saying that, 100m and 200m times have been awful all year. Seems to be a consistent pattern following Olympic years. The relatively cold weather hasn't helped either, though.
