Shutter speeds vs. quality?

I have a 7d with the 70-200 IS lens and love taking sports.

My question is related to picture quality vs. shutter speeds. 

With plenty of sun light I am able to crank up speeds to 1/8000 sec. but am wondering if I sacrafice quality at those speeds if I do manage to get a shot that I want to enlarge.

 

Thx

Short shutters are actually good for IQ.  You only have to worry about super-long shutters, as they impart signal noise to the image, even at low ISO.

Why do so many people say "FER-tographer"? Do they take "fertographs"?
