Sedjati = obvious EPO cheat: 1:41.46 800

What a bunch of discouraging comments with no evidence whatsoever about cheating, drugs and so on. The guy has been progressing steadily for years and because many seem to suggest that he was nobody, Accusations are easy to throw around and Everybody is a nobody at some point. 800m and 1500m are special to Algerians in both men and Women with Hassiba Boulmerka (olympic champion and twice world champion), Nouria Merah-Benida (1500m Olympic champion Sydney), Noureddine Morcelli with 3 world titles and one olympic title, Said Djabir Gerni (800 world champion in Paris) and olympic silver medallist, Makhloufi (1500 Olympic gold and silver and 800 olympic Silver ) and Now Sedjati the magnificent who will dominate for a while and then move to 1500 and repeat.

i know a doper when i see one. bro's body language looked like the russian women in the 80s just blasting out of a cannon in full sprint with no muscle fatigue in the homestretch of a 400 / 800. super obvious.

Algeria's Djamel Sedjati runs 7th-fastest men's 800m race as Edmonton's Marco Arop places 6th in Monaco

Djamel Sedjati set a world-leading time of 1:41.46 in the men's 800-metre race; which is the seventh-fastest time ever recorded, at the Diamond League stop in Monaco, while Edmonton's Marco Arop finished in sixth place.

Then you should look elsewhere and may be you'll find more. Records are falling faster than the stock market in a depression and you only have eyes for Sedjati... Have some respect for hard work and talent.

To be clear I was talking about Attaoui not Sedjati.

7th...may be I am wrong, but didn't they last week that it was the 3rd fastest of all times

Kelati has no kick :/

Rudisha has 4 better results and Kipketer 2. So his result is 7th all time

Can you explain why Pattison PBing by 2 seconds is clean but Attaoui isn't?

Because zero Brits have been busted in 100 years, compared to dozens of European Moroccans, including yet another Spanish Moroccan today.

Pattison also was WC bronze medalist last season so he clearly already had 1:43 potential at least last year. He's also been posting all his train8ng runs on Starva for years and anyone could see he was in this kind of shape.

Absolutely.

It’s how they look *after* the race. Never been so convinced of a doper.

Pretty obviously on dope for sure, those Moroccans and Algerians only have sand and EPO to live with in their country

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Denial is real with this one.

Can we please stop pretending that this is real? It’s absolutely ridiculous. Sedjati is completely obvious, but a random Spanish guy running 1:42? It’s robbery, and I feel extremely bad for Arop. Add the random Kenyan out of the blue with his 6 second pb last week, and it’s farcical.

Stop it.

All.sprinters and the occasional field eventer.

Not saying Sedjati (or any of the current 800m guys) are clean, just saying their times aren't as impressive when you account for 'the shoes.' Probably quickens 1-1.5 seconds to their times.

To me, the current crop is really just equivalent to the high 1:42/low 1:43 times of yesteryear.

I wonder about that. How fast do you believe jakob's 3.26.7,and also faith kipyagon's 3.49,and jess hull's 3.50.8 would have been in a 90s equivelent? no fast shoes,and older tracks.
