MY COUNTRY DID AN EXPERIMENT ON THIS. They compared the performance of current and “from the 60s” athletes wearing the same clothes that were in fashion 50 years ago. The current one CRUSHED the athletes from the 70s. Mostly because the later ones had bad hips or were already in wheelchairs
Steroids. People who aren’t in the know are going to say “but they’re all drug tested!” until you understand how drug testing and steroids work– you’ll believe that the majority of athletes aren’t doping. They are.
Better drugs and hormone treatments that are harder to detect. This is not just cynicism either. The modern anabolics used in professional sport are very hard to detect and leave the system very quickly. The money for engineering these hormones comes from the world of pro and Olympic athletics.
