Yeah, an energy boosting substance should be more apt for quick sprints.

The opposite I think, meth doesn't magically make you stronger or faster (it just feels like it does) but it keeps you going for longer.

but it keeps you going for longer.

Specifically, mentally going. The majority of olympic level athletes are not 'flagging' due to not being able to keep their mental focus while pushing through pain/fatigue, it's due to actual physiological reasons as your energy stores deplete and muscles suffer damage.
