The 100 meters might be the purest possible test of athleticism, but the 100-meter record is the shadiest mark on the books. It's been equaled or broken 17 times in the last 24 years, far more than any other track distance. Often, the World's Fastest Man is a guy who caught a strong tailwind or raced on a fast track. Or both: When Powell ran a 9.74 in Italy, the track was superball fast and the wind was blowing at 1.7 meters per second behind him, just under the 2-meter limit needed to qualify for a world record. And sometimes the record-holder is a drug cheat. Ben Johnson (WFM '87) and Tim Montgomery (WFM '02) both had their times wiped out after they were caught doping. Justin Gatlin (WFM '06) has been
banned from track and field for eight years. He may try pro football next.
Bolts tailwind was 0.00
