Subject: Is 7:32- 3000m man- SERGIO SANCHEZ (Esp) the Real Deal?
Body:

Sergio Sanchez has made huge improvements in the short 2010 indoor season compared to the rest of his athletic career. He dropped over 11 seconds in the 3000m running the last 1000m in 2:26 in his first 3000m of the season and 2nd indoor race this year. Sergio wasn't even the best Spainard 5000m man last year and now he's one of the best in the world this year. I hope he is clean but have to say after looking at his entire career and the improvements this year I can't cast my vote for him being "real deal" as I have to say I'm somewhat suspect of his 11 second 3000m improvement and 2000m PB. I expect athletes to improve but to improve so much in one year for an athlete who NEVER shown hints of that ability throughout his career.
