Who races that many rounds in 2021 and races every single one at such a high level with minimal recovery?
EPO is a recovery enhancement drug.
This.
Also assuming the WR of 2:11 is clean - what kind of geniuses run over 10 minutes slower than that in the Olympics and keep the fastest kicker in the race until the end?
World class from 800m to marathon, this woman is not human.
I mean sure…but Womens side has weaker competition and weaker records. She is good but comparing it to the Mens is idiotic.
How many athletes in the world (male or female) do you think can run a 14:30 5k, followed by a 30:44 10k four days later, followed by a 2:22:55 marathon two days later? I'm guessing some of the best men marathoners could, but I wouldn't bet on all of them being able to.

Not sure how you think the women's side is weaker when one of the supposed greatest Men's middle/long distance runner in a generation could not even run faster than Gidey's best time in an event he claims is his best event!!!! LOL
When did he claim he would run a WR before the Copenhagen HM? I’ll wait.
Sifan Hassan won world championship bronze in the 1500m one year ago. I don’t know if she’s in great 1500 form today, but I think she pretty easily could be again next season. There’s no reason to think she can’t just do another 1500m training cycle and get back into world class shape.
I also don’t see any reason to believe women’s world records or competitions are weaker. It’s the same countries on top of men’s and women’s races, which seems like an indicator that they’re pretty comparable.
And Jakob can’t easily be in great Half Marathon form? Sifan faded to a time of 4:04 lasts season which is like a male running 3:41. Nowhere even close to contention. Yet she had a whole year to prepare for the 10k and marathon distances. I just don’t see how Copenhagen makes Hassan even more impressive, makes no sense logically.
You see no reason to believe the Woman’s records are weaker? See the IAAF points, all weak other than the marathon.
