gideon mageka runs 3:37.3 for 1500 at age 15

How would Jim Ryun be a "bible thumping LIAR"

I used 3:38 as the most conservative approach, at 18 he would have thrashed everyone of these guys at a lying 15 years old.Probably 19-20.

Jim Ryun was a doper who was really 25 when he ran those times....

Yea, and we can send our 60 year olds and they beat your best 25 year olds. How about that? Just face the fact that you got a long way to go. What you say of the girl who ran 2:01 to win 800m world youth? I am sure that should shut you up...

This is her.

Whether people say that she's 16 or 23, that will not change what her age is.

Thanks Native. This people will never stop giving excuse for defeat. If you are not too old for your stated age, you are too young(the case of Chinese swimmers) or you are doped. But I am glad the world is still revolving and lives moves on...

After Rep. Mark Foley resigned in October 2006, following revelations he had sent sexually explicit e-mails to teenage congressional pages, Ryun contended that he barely knew Foley, had never spent time with him, and was unaware that they lived directly across the street from each other in Washington, D.C. "I know that [we were neighbors] only because somebody has mentioned that, too, already," he told reporters at the time. However, it was later revealed that Ryun and Foley had hosted a joint fundraiser on their street on May 18, 2006, called the "D Street Block Party." An invitation to the fundraiser included side-by-side pictures of Ryun and Foley. Ryun's campaign manager later admitted that Ryun had always known he was Foley's neighbor.

Kenya sounds warning about overage athletes? That means there has been a problem in the past. That also means there may still be a significant problem (I'm sure USATF has warned many times about doped American athletes, but it didn't stop Justin Gatlin or Marion Jones for years).

pete rose should be inducted into the HoF. best hitter in history. who cares if he bet FOR his team?

No one gives a flying fvck who you are, liar. You are the worse kind of coward, posting damaging bullshit on a public board and passing it on as fact. Up yer meds.

A sixteen year old Swede, Johan Rogestedt, wins the 800m Youth Gold in 1:50.92 (a personal best). HE was born on 27-01-1993.

that just makes him a politician, lying comes with the job.

John Yego didn't cheat, he's an East African.

He just invented a time machine, that's all. Simple really.

That video is classic - nothing like a 17yr old with a hairline receding waaay back. even webb didnt look like that!

Typical 1-800-94-TRAK (btw-what kind of name is that?)-usually I let that crap pass because I am well aware it's written by idiots, but seriously. Did you want to attribute that quote to anyone in particular, any source? It couldn't be the ever credible Wikipedia? Or even the horrendous Topeka Capitol-Journal?

Dad never said he didn't know Foley, he said it was, "brought to his attention again today that Mark was a neighbor." The original reporter of the story, Chris Moon, was a hack who now no longer works for the Cap-Journal. The "pictures" of dad and Foley side by side were caricatures of dad, Foley and the other Members on the street who participated in the fundraiser. Hardly pictures of "good friends" if you ask me.

So to take something out of context and call him a bible thumping liar is piss poor.
