France's Olympic sprinting hope Christine Arron, who won over 100m here on Wednesday night, has spoken of her concern at the many sub-11sec American and Jamaican athletes.
At the recent Olympic trials in Kingston, Jamaica, and Eugene, Oregan, 10 women sprinters have gone under the 11sec benchmark.
"The fact there are so many times at 10.80sec to 10.90sec is not particularly worrying for me but it is worrying for athletics," the 34-year-old Guadeloupean said.
Arron has held the European record of 10.73sec since 1998 and was a bronze medallist over 100m and 200m at the 2005 world championships in Helsinki.
At the beginning of June, Arron had said she believed doping would be getting better in the future.
"Doping will become more efficient," she said. "Times will get lower and lower and I don't know where it will all end. I think it will end up with genetic doping. That could be serious.
"I am happy to be coming towards the end of my career because of all this."
Arron was a rival of the Sydney Olympics' triple gold medallist Marion Jones who admitted in October last year that she took doping products between September 2000 and July 2001.
