Except that the 90s were the EPO era and there was actually a test for EPO when Paula set her record.

And the fact that there is no full race video of the records wang supposedly set.

And the fact that it doesn't take a genius to look at the all time list for 3000m and realize that there was more than just doping going on at that meet.


Simple comparison of Tirunesh Dibaba and Meseret Defar's 5000m times to Wang's 3k time on Jack Daniels VDOT tables indicate that both Dibaba and Defar ran 5k times equivalent to about an 8:08 or 8:09 3k, so Wang's 8:06 is not an impossibility

Comparing Pamela Jelimo's 1:54 clocking also indicates that she ran a time equivalent to a 3:52-3:53 in the 1500 meter...

In conclusion, yes Wang was spectacular in 1993 but then again meteoric rises of equivalent performance are not unheard of (for instance Jelimo , Dibaba, Daniel Komen, and Noah Ngeny only have had 1-2 spectacular seasons at young age and then dropped from the WR ability)
