Bolt was stunned.
Mills was also badly shaken. He quickly said, "Chen, you can't be serious. A 19-second 200-meter? Do you have any idea what that implies?"
"That means he'd need to run the 100-meter in 9.5 seconds to even have a shot at a time like that. And what's the 100-meter world record? 9.78 seconds... no, 9.79."
Last year, the renowned American sprinter Tim Montgomery set a world record of 9.78 seconds.
But in the first half of this year, thanks to Chen Yu, it was definitively proven that Montgomery had used performance-enhancing drugs.
World Athletics ultimately ruled that all of his race results after 2001 were to be annulled.
This meant the 100-meter world record he set in '02 was also voided.
The current world record holder was, once again, the renowned American sprinter Maurice Greene, with the 9.79-second record he set in Athens in '99.
That time was already astounding, shattering the expectations of countless experts.
