Female Track and Field "Clean" or "Dirty" Results Are here

So we have some HS girls running real fast now, Cain, Efraimson. Young Wilson is looking good at 800. "Old" man Lagat at 39 is still kicking Rupp's ass. Huddle has the AR at 5K. Kastor has a Oly medal and sub 2:20 time. Ryun ran sub 4.

How can this be? Talent and hard work or PEDs? So anyone who is real fast must be dirty? Could be, but I do think that sometime a great talent does come around. Like Ryun, Webb in HS, Cain and yes Decker at age 14.

Is the glass half full...

She was exonerated by USATF.

Funniest post of the day!!!!

Jearl Miles Clark?! That's a name I never hear mentioned in these discussions. Can anyone explain her high ranking in this poll?

THIS!

we need a clean sport.

i would personally volunteer to take a shower with these ladies before they race, so we can be assured they are clean. lol.

Those who think that drugs are the answer to everything are the ones with the issues, i.e the "dirty" ones.

Conclusions from this poll: white = clean, black = dirty.

Nearly 100% correlation: white = clean; black or Russian = dirty.

What a shock that a letsrun poll would come out with such results

No, it's more like white Americans have to be clean, especially if they have a nice smile and wear a pony tail. Then there is no way they could ever be dirty.

well, A decade anyway. that is still a long time.

Lance never tested positive either.

I thought we'd all finished pretending that the testing mechanisms functioned like they were supposed to function.

Libbie Hickman, boy did she improve fast and kind late in her career. Yeah the 90s rocked.

Interesting. I didn't realize that there was a direct correlation between the darkness of a person' s skin color and the likely hood of them being perceived as a drug cheat.

There is also a noticeable bias against foreigners.

The only thing this poll reinforces is that in America racism is still alive and well.

For example: Cain, Rowbury and Moser all share the same coach. Yet Moser is more likely to be preciieved as a drug cheat by the way Rowbury has run faster than Moser in the 1500 and 5k..

Huddle has beaten many of the preciieved drug cheats on this survey. Yet, she has to be clean.

White American -- clean, unless Letsrun has some kind of personal vendetta against the individual -- black americans and Africans = dirty; foreigners from the West = clean; foreigners from the old Communist block = dirty.

This is Letsrun after all

You have to be a real miserable piece of shit to come up with an idea like that poll. Bravo, letsrun. Bravo.

What is so wrong with the idea of having this poll? Perhaps it is the fact that the results reveal something about the reasoning of the Letsrun audience (read white people) that make you uncomfortable.
