This is why present world records, in most sports, are superior to world records in past decades. What accounts for the difference? Some may say that there is a change in the genes, but I think that we will all agree that genetically, all humans are very similar (in the past century at least).

Well, what about drugs or diet? This is probably a contributing factor, for diet at least. Most sports have a strict policy against drug use and enforce their rules with drug testing, so drug-use is probably not a major factor in the difference in performance over the past decades.

I stopped after reading this paragraph. Someone so naive can't really educate anyone.

No sh*t. Can anyone submit an article? Because I have a three year old nephew who can randomly hit keys on a computer who could come up with better material than this.
