Not replying necessarily to the OP, here, but just making a comment. Haven't read the full 34-page (so far) thread - too much - probably with too much arguing back and forth.
But why is Radcliffe's performance worthy of this level of banter?
If you look at the top-10 or top-20 male sprinters in the 100-metre distance, almost every single one of them has tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs, or has been caught in possession, or has been closely associated with repeat offending coaches/fellow athletes, save for one: the fastest, Usain Bolt.
How does that even make sense, especially his own outlier performance of 9.58.
What about the 22 athletes caught and tested at the hotel in Spain with Jama Aden? These include the Dibaba sisters.
To run surveillance for a month on a hotel, then have drugs testing equipment on hand and carry out 20/22 tests, costs a lot of money and to convince authorities to spend that sort of money, there must be some very good evidence.
What about Almaz Ayana of Ethiopia with her 29:17.45 from Rio, where she was quoted as saying, "my only drug is God."
Oh, ok. That makes sense. It's God, he prefers her.
Radcliffe's performance is in line with Kimetto's. It just took men time to catch up to Radcliffe.
Kipchoge's two performances of 2:02:25 and 2:01:39 raise no alarm bells whatsoever. I know even the hardest doubter believes Kipchoge is clean. Apparently, he is running's Bhudda, sort-of-speak. He is extremely likeable, humble, polite - all that.
I have interviewed both Kipchoge and Radcliffe. I don't see any red flags - not that my experience should count for anything, but Radcliffe getting 34 pages on this?
Talk about that marathon in in Dubai, five 2:04s by five unknowns in one race - red flag!:
