I does, longer legs, bigger strides. Thats not to say a shorter individual couldnt beat a taller one but the taller individual automatically has an edge.

He's my height, 6'5", and it makes a difference.

For sure, damn thats tall, Im 6'3, I used to run alot back in middle and high school and the height helped for sure. There's always the exception though, I mean, a short guy could be gifted from birth and outrun all sorts of tall guys, but then you get a guy like Bolt and its chaos, he's got the height and the genetics.

Most definitely. I've been smoked by some short people in soccer, where fast twitch muscles in an understatement. I want to watch him get a clean start and hit 9.4 someday. Let's just hope he's clean... unlike some of his Jamaican brethren recently.

Haha, ya no doubt, I would say he is, he doesnt look like he's dabblin' in the sauce. Mind you, there are so many new steroid being created, sometimes you cant tell just by looking. The Olympic comittee has extremely strick steroid testing, including tests for blocking agents and the like, so I would say hes clean. If hes smart he'd stay clean because no one gets away with it forever.
