The dodgy thing about the 100m winner was his relatively recent amazing run of form, as I understand it be wasn't on the radar 12 months ago and suddenly he is breaking PBs in every race.

I read that he wasn’t even part of the drug testing pool because he was so far outside of the top level. Apparently a supplement provider he was involved with is also under investigation.
Sad thing is that if it’s too good to be true then it often is.
