There has been a lot of talk about why the pros don't do sub 8 hours IM (or close to) like they did ealier on.
Hasn't it come to anybodys mind that there were using at lot of doping then. In the procyclingfield it was required to be in the front (look at Riis or Virenque or everybody else back then) and of course it has been the same in triathlon. Today the dopingtests (at least in europe!) is a lot better than in the past so the athletes don't get away with using so many drugs.
So there won't be any other sub 8 hours results (unless they shortend the course..).
