Or is it that drugs tessting has become more stringent? Or both?
I doubt that... I don't want to start a discussion here, but I'm 100% positive that every single athlete competing at the highest level at the olympics (with the exception of some people like horse riders, pistol shooters etc.) is using some kind of doping.
There are so many things that can't be detected by the current test methods. Look at Ilya Ilyin for example. He wasn't tested positive back in 2008 or 2012, but in 2015/16 the testing methods finally caught up to him. Top level doping is always 5-10 years ahead of the testing methods.
Yesterday they interviewed a german scientist who talked about a special kind of testosterone drug that you can use 365 days per year right now without triggering positive test results. The same guy also did research about new world records and release dates of new meds/drugs and found interesting results.
Michael Johnson wasn't overly muscular either and he held the 200m record for years. There are still a lot of "big" guys in the 100m, like Yohan Blake for example. The 200m has always been more prone to "smaller" guys.
Btw look up some of the old record holders. Pietro Mennea for example (200m WR from 1979 to 1996, 19,72seconds compared to Johnson's 19,66/19,32) looked like a marathon runner...
Donovan Bayley (100m WR in 1996) wasn't big either. When you look at the size of his muscles he looks like Bolt (except for different height and arm/leg length obviously). Or take a look at Carl Lewis.
I'm pausing my sleep tonight (3:30 a.m. in Germany) for the 200m finale
Did the same thing for the 100m.
