Catwhoorg do you mind editing a copy of the graph to remove all 9.98+ times ? Would be interested to see what happens - if you can keep the years along the bottom but remove the times at or above?

I think this constraint causes a distinct loss of value to the analysis, which maybe why they looked at it that way to get to a preordained conclusion.

For a starter, you lose two olympic finals entirely. (1980 and 1984).

Yep. I went through wiki and grabbed all the values, think I mentioned somewhere upthread that you lose podiums and half podiums for a few Olys.

As an analysis tool, I maintain it's duplicitous in nature, unless someone wants to elucidate a reason for doing it like this - the predetermined outcome seems pretty obvious.

I looked for a link between the uni and WADA and Aaron, but not for too long. Would be interesting to find some sort of link somewhere as to why someone would pump out a few of these spurious studies. Very Coylesque.

Sh!t, Coggan has been telling us this for years.

Making things up reflects poorly on you.

Take, for example, manipulation of red cell mass via blood doping (or EPO): I have not only recognized that this enhances performance, I have pointed to the earliest human studies (by Spriet, Gledhill, et al.) clearly demonstrating this to be true, and have specified the magnitude of increase in VO2max to be expected.

Doping is damaging the image of sport without benefiting athletes' results, according to University of Adelaide research

"In many sports, there are perceptions that an athlete needs to dope in order to remain competitive and I hope these findings will confront those ill-informed views, and help stamp out doping in sport,"

You can close the clinic now..

Wait...from Australia?!? I thought that all of the sports science done Down Under was cutting-edge/world-class...

no, the technical term the Clinic12 use, is Machine Calibration Error. It can be shortened to MCE acronym

Given you think Ed Coyle is a legend, this thought that "all of the sports science done Down Under was cutting-edge/world-class" makes a lot of sense.

A shame, really.

Perhap acoggan needed to use the pink font to make the implied sarcasm obvious.

Johnson admitted to doping between 1981 and 1988, effectively disqualifying all of his sub 10 second times. His WR of 9.83 set 1987 in Rome was stripped after his confession.

From the longer list, it was very surprising to see Donavan and Bruni down around 53rd place all time. Truly underscores the recent distortions.

Were they given pink dots with purple spots on the chart?

Dave.

The non-legal times are here: http://www.alltime-athletics.com/m100mno.htm#8

.. so from reading the non-legal times list these can be weeded out:
Tim Montgomery admitted
Steve Mullings is banned for life (2 ADRVs)
Mike Rodgers, 9-month ban for methylhexaneamine positive in 2011

You lie like a Chewbacca: I've never called Ed a "legend", or even really anything close to that.

It's an awesome paper, but I thought most trolls inhabited social media on the interweb. This might be the beginning of a new phase. Expect the next paper from this guy to be something along the lines of polling samples of people on whether the horizon looks flat or curved to them and then making an assessment as to whether planet earth might actually be flat afterall.
