THANK YOU. Definitely a lot of bias here on letsrun. Wonder why.

NOTHING to do with being black, everything to do with being caught with EPO at a training camp!!

Does EVERYTHING come down to 'because I is black'?? Get over it!!

The fact that you just assumed I meant it was race related shows that maybe there actually is a race issue.

So I just was looking at the IAAF results live page and they had Windle at 2nd. I checked to see if maybe they don't put DQs there but they have the Dqs there. So maybe he's back in at silver.

Windle back in!!!! Boom. Internet outrage gets it done??

WE BLAZE and WE BLAZE HARD

coming for bolt's record!

His ground force generation is insane.....serious, serious strong turnover.

Thank you Running Commentator. That was way out of no wack assumption

Technicalities aside, when Giles was interviewed immediately after the race, he had no complaints. And the tug on K-man's number obviously had no effect on him.

So reinstate the congrats.

Another great run by Coleman. Beats the old world record and it wasn't at altitude, so can't use that excuse anymore. Can't wait to see what he does at the full 100m.

A protest in person does. Don't reach for an involvement from your website.

You're joking, right?

This race was actually better than 6.34 at altitude.

The issue here is not that assuming Dibaba uses hot sauce is wrong, but that assuming Muir is innocent and clean is naïve...Let's apply standards equally and rationally.

Thank you. This is very well put.

I think naïve is exactly right. Muir ran the 16th fastest 1500 ever. The only woman who's run faster in the last twenty years is Dibaba. It's easy to believe that everyone else who ran faster than Muir was cheating; eight of those times came in two races in China, and the rest belong to eastern Europeans running at the height of the EPO era. Many of the women slower than Muir are also suspicious.

And yet somehow people are sure that she, and she alone, is clean.

At the height of MaryMania, I asked an elite runner if he thought Cain was clean. I think his answer applies here: "I certainly hope so."

I think Muir is a great runner. She has been right behind Dibaba and all the other outstanding East African athletes. I do not know why we all think she is the Clean WR holder when she is running just as good as those we think they couldn't run their times without the help of PEDs? So is Muir a superhuman then?

Being white gives the superhuman status, according to the US and GB anyway.

i think the jersey tug was a far bigger offense for windle than the bumping. Not sure it was worth a DQ, but i could at least understand that one if only because it is a completely unnatural action (and it looked like he did it twice).

So running the last 1000 in 2:31 makes you a doper, but running 2:32 is legit?

Is that correct?

Nope getting caught with used EPO syringes in your hotel room at a camp you are attending + your coach getting caught with a swag of EPO ready to go at the same training camp pretty much does though...

Who exactly do you think this happened to, if not every runner from GB.

This... it's simple. Can't believe anyone denies that Dibaba is a doper, how much proof do you need?

I mostly agree, and if K-man had finished anywhere but first place I would totally agree.

At USAs, I thought it was admirable that DW played it entirely straight (in the final straight) holding off Murphy, when a lot of athletes would veer out and try to get away with it.

Hope he will be a bit calmer in his next world final.

Dibaba has supranaturally muscular legs for an Ethiopian. When people have hyper musculature, in T & F they are always doping. Add to the fact she is faster than the Chinese and the Eastern Bloc runners is evidence enough.
