I don't think Bob did anything questionable, everything came together & he had that amazing WR leap that stood for years.
Suspect records might be FloJo's 100 & 200 M dashes at the 1988 olympics, those records still stand, in all these years, no ones come close to either, even Marion Jones who admitted to doping didn't beat them.
Were the rubber suits were better than drugs?
I find it rather akin to what happened in the long jump at the '68 Olympics. Beamon buried the record and most say it was due to the altitude and the fact that the wind was a barely legal 2.0 m/s. It wasn't until 1991 that this was finally taken down(Still the record, BTW). Interesting that the current woman's mark in the long jump is from 1988.
