Why are you guys quarelling about everything, no need.

(and even if being white norwegian I see no wrong in what Keniano says about Samba)

Because he does it constantly. It's not as if there aren't enough top Kenyan runners, is it? He really just can't stand the idea of there being even one world class white runner.

Diamond League distance events should be time trials. Fastest 12 through the season make it to the final meet. Second half of the season would be an absolute ball tearer with everyone scrambling for times and the bar getting higher.

what if the 800 and 1500 had only solo time trials to determine the finalists?

would that not be exciting????? and very fair,

no dq, no falling down, no randow slow and fast hears...

no slow and randomly fast heats.

one problem with time trials however is the wind if it changes.....

I think I'm going to start banning people who call Semenya "he" as it is disrespectful.

Yes I get it if you're trying to make a point, she biologically is male, but she is a human being does not have a penis, identifies as a woman, and the respectful way to address her is "she."

LOL!!!!!!

I can't remember if it was you or your brother, but ONE OF YOU USED TO DO THIS ALL THE TIME. I think it even appeared on the front page, but I know for a fact it appeared in articles published by you guys!!

WOW.

You guys both do it constantly, just to try to get a rise out of the other. It's pathetic.

Weird meet. Nice 1500, PATHETIC mile. Some top Kenyans have clearly eased off the sauce. Manangoi was spooked by the Kiprop bust. Semenya continues to be a joke. Props to clean 1500 WR holder Muir for being the first legit athlete to cross the line in the 800.

Semenya is an a-hole with no honor. I hear that he won. I will never watch a race where he races against women.

She's not an a-hole. She's in a difficult spot.

Your post is so disrespectful.

All very commendable wejo with the prospect of the ban incoming, but my question is this:-

Should Semanya win an appeal and be allowed to compete in the women's division

WOW.

its a twins rule, like in math, -1 times -1 is plus one.

in this instance he + he = she.

it's only logical.

get with the program.

Not a fan of nationality changes. Qatar has robbed Mauritania of what would have been their first world class athlete in the ecptionally talented Samba.

Should Semanya win an appeal and be allowed to compete in the women's division (as may well happen given the strength of the SJW lobbying) that would be twice the IAAF would have been overruled and that particular issue may well be a goner.

Next up though is going to be straight up men just saying they "identify" as female and therefore are going to run in the Women's division. Absurd as it sounds that WILL happen and when it does the IAAF will again struggle to contain it. At this point will you be demanding people call these athletes as "she" out of respect?

do you have proof Muir is clean?!

Nope. Qatar helped him achieve this top class status. It takes money to bring athletes up to the elite level

This is a kid who is running his 12th 400h and for the last three races, the times were extremely fast.

It is the drugs that make you fast.

You do realize Guliyev is coming back from an injury? The knee support he was wearing didnt give it away for you?

what if the weather is terrible in several meets?

what if's it a championship/Olympic year?

This is exactly right. It's NOT an Olympic or Championship year, and track completely sucks. The pre-EPO era was better, because off years like this were faster than heck. This is like I'm watching endless girls high school 3200s, with people coming in at 18 minutes. And you all get fired up about this.

Quick reminder to the soyboys and E. Africa defenders... EVERY SINGLE athlete ahead of Muir on the worlds best 1500 list has either been popped for doping or has been HEAVILY implicated (ie: Dibaba, the Chinese). No suspicion surrounding Muir. Until there is I'm comfortable calling her the clean WR holder. Currently the fastest legit athlete over 1500, 3000, and 5000. High up on the 800 list as well, once you remove the cheats and pseudo-women. Huge talent.
