If he were running in an era with NO EPO test, he could do that too.

The UK won 1 Gold in 1996.
1 fooking Gold at the Olympics. Rowing
Now, 85% their athletes have asthmatic..wink wink
And they turn a blind eye to doping.
Now the UK is a Gold winning machine.
State Sponsored doping program ? UK is number 1
GOAT doorbell ignorer.
3000m splits 8:09, 8:09, 8:03, then a 2:29.

The others dudes never even had to ignore a doorbell. There was no test.

That's as good as it gets.
He's got the greatest championship record ever at 5 and 10k but get back to me when he can run the second half of a 10k in sub-13 like Haile and Paul T did.
The last lap today was his 2nd slowest ever.
If you lined them up in their prime, those guys beat Mo.
Haha you have no idea what you're talking about. Paul Tergat never ran sub-13 the second half of a 10k. I like it how you people try to sound like you're the default authority on track and field all time rankings, but then your posts show that you have no clue on the history of the sport.
Come on Tony, where are you?!

Remind me why Russia isn't here? Oh yeah...
Go home dude. Lmao the UK is not a gold winning machine at all. The US and Jamaica win more and you guys aren't talking about that cause you're a bunch of Americans.

Mo Farah is a bigger con than Lance Armstrong!!!
Never testing positive does not mean clean.
Mo's trainers, sprint etc have all been done from drugs or are major suspects
He did not even look tired after the race
This.
Mo Farah is running's answer to Lance. Lance dominated his sport's most prominent event, the only one that media (and casual fans) followed closely. Otherwise, though, he did little that would qualify him for GOAT cyclist status. This is basically what Mo does in distance running -- dominate the global championships that get media coverage but do virtually none of the other things (dominating the pro circuit, doing well at World XC and road running) that real GOAT candidates accomplish.
And that's leaving out the obvious connections between Lance and Mo related to doping.
He's one of the best ever easily
But seriously bekele in his prime on the track would have won that race easy, like the race would have been over with 150 to go and bekele would have been a good 10-15 meters clear of anyone

How do you think Kenny B did it? Or geb?

Using the doper argument doesn't work when you are trying to argue Bekele as being a better runner than Farah. Bekele is blatantly and without a shred of doubt a doper. And if one thinks that Mo is a doper due to his time spent off the grid in East Africa...ever consider that that is EXACTLY where his competition spends the year as well. And furthermore, drug testing is far better now than during Bekele's era. It's pretty ignorant that we give the WR holders of the early 2000s the benefit of the doubt while tearing down the better-tested runners of today. Good lord, how does it not occur to everyone that the EPO test being perfected ended the era of weekly time trials from our stars.

It occured to them but they can bring themselves to accept the truth
Exactly. Bekele and everyone else who ran in the EPO era are just as suspect as Mo, if not more so.
So we are all in agreement that they are both suspect and Bekele has had the better career. Perfect.
I don't f*cking care if he (Farah) doped.

It couldn't have been aging or wear and tear because look at Mo!! He's older than these guys. Just got a late start is all. Late bloomer. Misses tests on accident and sucks at geography.
Oh, but Bekele had to just disappear without a trace because testing came along, right? Just gone forever. No one ever tested positive before the Mo era. TESTING!! So Bekele had to slither off into the shadows forever. He never got to beat Mo at Great North or run 2:03: because the testing simultaneously ruined and legitimized everything. Bekele the big fat nobody once they invented testing.
WHY CANT YOU GUYS SEE ITS THE TESTING!!!
THE TESTING!!! IT PROVES MO IS CLEAN!!
WHERE IS KIPCHOGE? Retired. Overweight. Total nobody since TESTING CHASED HIM OFF!!
THERE IS NO BRITISH DOPING SCANDAL BECAUSE THE TESTING.
(Lol Muh Russians, it just occurred to me that Russia is the scapegoat for every shady organization today 🤣)

Right? Assuming all things equal at least Bekele's got a pair.

I noticed a mistake in a few of your numbers.
Bekele - 20 golds (counting indoor and world xc). Current 5k and 10k WR holder.
Geb - 10 golds (counting indoors). Set 27 world records.
Mo - 10 golds. 0 World records. Wait, make that 1 world record I forgot about the indoor 2 mile.
Kipchoge - 2 golds. Ran faster marathon ever. Better PR than Farah at 3k, 5k, and 26.2.

So basically Bekele has 2x as many golds as the second best ever, and as many as 2nd best and so called "goat" not to mention all the better times and across all surfaces
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
