This is something I have been thinking about since the Olympics... at what point will it not be possible for human beings to swim or run any faster. There has to be a point where the human body just can't go any faster, no matter how much you train, what kind of things you put into your body (legal or not), etc.
I mean it isn't possible to swim a 400 IM, for example, in 2 seconds (at least I don't think it ever will be) so where does it end? And when will that happen?

I agree that they will probably come up with more sophisticated ways of timing to make breaking a record easier rather than allowing enhancement chemicals, but people will only to break it down so far. I don't think that they are willing to go to the millionith or billionith of a second just for the sake of a record. I think that eventually you will either have to be using something to enchance yourself or you may never be able to break a record...assuming that they allow performance enhancing materials...which I don't think they will any time soon so I think we're all same from "drugged up super humans." Or people and our technology will become so advanced that is will come 360 and destroy the world and then we can all just start over again. :D
