You're right to be suspicious, but the winner has voluntarily done extra
testing and Adidas has paid for it. There's always the chance that they have moved onto newer drugs that aren't being tested for yet, but the testing does look for a variety of markers.
Now, the newest shoes that Adidas brought out for this race are incredibly light, and it seems like they might be good for an additional minute.
Here's a great article about the race.
