Some of them were still in their 20's and still in their physical prime this year. Surely it was not that they did not take their Trials seriously, werre nervous and inexperienced, or that their coaches missed their taper....maybe the testing has improved since prior to the 2012 Olympics, and the testing protocols have accelerated, and some prior Olympians are now clean that were not clean four years ago? Just wondering....read Charlie Francis's book about Ben Johnson, from way back in the early 90's. Maybe the mouse trap is finally catching up to the mouse and the testing protocols are at least trimming down those that cheat or forcing the cheaters to go clean to avoid the risk of getting caught.<br /><br />Kevin Murphynoreply@blogger.com
