It must be his, ahem, *cough* excellent *cough* puma line...

What I'd be more interested in seeing is if he has more fast twitch muscle than your average joe. That height is unsual for a sprinter though, it just makes you plain heavier. I guess it doesn't matter if you have extraordinarily long legs...ill be really pissed if i find out he was using drugs though

I'd say its his longer strides brought about by his 400m training... His coach aimed for him to do 400m's predominantly from 07.

So either that or drugs.
