looks to me that Rono was a bada$$ and was most def clean. use his times as a reference and you will see that if an athlete is clean and still "competitive" they are right around his times. you take someone at 3:35-8 and sauce, you get 3:30 or faster, a 7:32 would prob get you a 7:20 low, aka koman status, but you take 7:40 guys and sauce and you have them run 7:30 lows.
5k, guys running 13:06 to 13:10 and sauce them boom your dropping 12:40s. 10k you have guys running 27:00-15 and sauce them? boom 26:15-30s....
you take a rupp athlete that you think is tooo slow, in todays EPO infest WRs, and sauce him? you get 3:50 indoor, 7:30, 12:58, and 26:44
whats rupp without sauce? 3:58, 7:44, 13:30s, 27:20 and 2:09
those are good when you take away the EPO times, but tooo slow for youew
