Agreed, Deanouk. I understand what the IAAF is going for with these criteria, in that they want to keep the Peter Ronos & Nils Schumanns of the world ineligible. But I think they're throwing the baby out with the bathwater if someone like Herb Elliott can't make it but Saif Saeed Shaheen can. Elliott has a good case for being the best miler of all, while Shaheen is IMHO no better than 10th all-time in the steeple, well below modern-era ineligibles like Ezekiel Kemboi or Brimin Kipruto.
