Depends on what your definition of "humans" is.

Since the oldest person ever died at age 128, I predict that the maximum time possible to run the 100m dash is about 4,039,286,525 seconds.

Hand timing? You should probably add 0.5 to that, right?

Bound to be a tailwind above legal at some point during that max time. Maybe it would be balanced by a headwind later on.

I suppose after that long there would be no need to fear the drug test.

are you kidding? At 128 years old, he/she would have been packed to the gills with drugs!

Insinuating that a 128-year-old person would be on drugs without any substantive proof is very offensive to me.

Show me the proof.

A stogie now and then would be OK, however.

I had a cat named Max once who was run over by a garbage truck.

He was maxxed out!

Aren't wind measurements for minimum times races taken as the average over a period (say, 10 seconds)? If so, then integrating under the curve over the length of the max time race (those few million seconds) should pretty much cancel out the numerical value, provided we're not looking at a point-to-point course with average net winds in a certain direction.

Then there is the point to consider that the benefits provided by a given tailwind are significantly less than the hinderances provided by the same headwind. The lord may giveth, but he taketh away a lot more.

"May the wind always be at your back."

I'm more concerned with the 'illegal aid' issues. Certainly there was some help along the way. DQ!
