I hear a lot : "performance from nowhere" versus "talent from young age".
Imo the youngsters that beat everything from start have higher chances to be just young dopers, most likely from well established doping cultures, where coaches introduce them to doping from young age.
Especially since you can dope all you want when young because there is almost no doping control at lower level races or junior races.
That's to be clear why it makes me puke when i hear "but X showed talent from young age".
Conclusion : higher chances to be clean if no results at young age. Higher chances to be doping youngster if you are "talented".
