Paula Radcliffe calls out Mara Yamauchi

We are supposed to believe a non-doped European woman with inferior genetics for long distance running set a record that kept the East African Genetically Superior Dopers are bay for over 10 years just from working harder. OK /facepalm.

Inferior genetics? You're living in a fantasy world. Her amazing running economy gained through tens of thousands of miles of racing and training combined with a naturally high VO2 max of 70ml/kg/min should tell you what you really need to know, if you have the guts to face it?

Take 10 random Kenyan women off the street and you will find at least one among them with better genetic potential for distance running than Paula. Combine that with the fact that they are among the worst dopers and you really believe that she set a record as clean as a whistle on grandma's tea and scones that none of them could beat until the Vaporfly came along ?

Paula is an absolute joke.

It made me so happy to see her WR crumble. No one cares about you anymore Paula.

Agreed, she reeks of being so fake. The only time the general public gave a damn about her was to laugh at the newspaper pictures of her taking a piss on the side of the road anyway. Brutal truth.

I don't see how we get from there, to accusations of her defending Mo Farah (from whom and for what?), that she lost all rights when she first took EPO (I thought the "learned" accusers say she transfused blood), she stood up for Sleazy Sal (like here, she stood up for athletes, NOP athletes not found doping after 7 years of investigation leaving no stone unturned), that she and her husband are two-faced, and that she suffers from WR depression, and that failure to win Olympic Gold is stewing in bitterness and marinating, she's a sourpuss and a hypocrit.

Let's see. She defended the blatant drug cheat doorbell mo from everybody who hates cheating in sports. She blood doped, took EPO, testo, HGH and every other drug she could gobble. She stood up for the convicted drug cheat sleazy sal. She is a bitter old hag who no longer has the records that she doped up to steal in the first place. She and her husband are two faced. She is a sourpuss and a hypocrite. She has nasty teeth and an earsplitting accent.

I would like to see those things -- in another thread.

I was looking for the intellectual journey connecting these kinds of seemingly unrelated allegations to this thread. None of these have anything to do with a tweet about Susan Boyle and defending young athletes wearing new Nike shoes. Why bring up all this unrelated stuff? Intellectual insecurity that they haven't yet been properly argued?

Paula Radcliffe is not a pleasant person.

If you want to look to someone from that era of British running who actually has class, look at Kelly Holmes.

And yes, Mara does have a much more rounded and interesting life.

Also Radcliffe is bitter and fake. It's very, very evident that looking like Susan Boyle would be deemed an insult by anyone in GB & NI, and to then try to turn it around in a fake smiley way and twist it like that is sad.

Well known in Scottish running circles that Butchart and his girlfriend Sharp are horrible people,not liked at all.

It is a shame.

What an overall miserable horrible post bringing less than zero value to this thread.

Must say, I once held Radcliffe in high esteem (years ago). Now it seems like every year, she reveals more and more of her true self, and it ain't all that pleasant.

I think especially lame was the defense of liking the "Mara looks like Susan Boyle" tweet. She acts all like, what's wrong with saying someone looks like Susan Boyle?, as if it's not obvious. It would be like saying someone looked like The Elephant Man, and then saying, well, it's not like that means they're ugly.

Butchart also exposes himself as a d-bag.

Same thing is happening on twitter. Tons of negativity, tons of hatred, tons of anger, tons of sarcasm, all for retweets and likes.

It would appear that alot of you even famous runners, celebs, politicians, etc, have unreal amounts of hatred and anger within you.

Always conduct yourself in the manner that's consistent with how you would conduct yourself in a face to face meeting with the people that you're angry with.

If you don't like a gym lifter no reason to go on twitter and complain about it. Because we all know that you would walk by that lifter in the gym without saying a word.

Be stronger than the anger.

Why can't Paula conduct herself with grace , and be thankful Coe assisted her when she had Drug issues. She has so much anger and hatred , similar to HRC .

Too many presumptions.
