Some comments stand out more than others. May I point you to Jeff Tallon’s respectful comments. He sensitively hints at Young on drugs without being rude and offish. He questions how Bob Kennedy would have run in todays era. Safe to say it’s easier to run being upgraded to newer tech than downgraded to older tech.
Do you think it’s easier for bill gates to leave his mansion and live in Haitian slumps or the opposite? I think the answer has to be clear. Bob Kennedy would be this era’s 5k Wr holder and Young would be hobbled and on wheelchair after 12 laps in the 1996 tech.

I didn’t read (hear?) Tallon’s comments or even know who he is, but based on your description, he effing called Young a cheater and it doesn’t matter if he was polite about it.
Thats where youre wrong. I didnt call him a cheater,i didnt hint at calling him a cheater,and i didnt mention cheater,sensitive,effing,rude,respectful or otherwise.That was another user,not me. What i did mention was that he's gay,im gay,good on him for winning a race,and i also mentioned/wondered how fast he would run without the fancy shoes.

I never said it hinders them,but it’s not always easy being gay. Believe me, I know........and to answer your other question i dont know for certain who is doping or who isnt. I often have very strong suspicions ,and some athletes literally scream PED use, but i cant prove it.
You’re gay?
Just about every LRC poster has strong suspicions and believe some athletes scream PED use. Just like you, they have no evidence to back it up.
Most posters who accuse about doping on these pages are what I would call "selective suspicious":
They suspect the bad guys "over there" who beat their homeland heroes.
Since it is impossible for an athlete to prove he is clean I don´t participate in this discussion.
I will, however, say IF you accuse the athletes of other countries for doping and close the eyes for suspicious facts regarding your compatriots you aren´t serious.

He didnt call him a cheater. I did. all USA athletes are juiced. You dont like it? too bad.

OK. If the other poster misconstrued your comments, my apologies.

“He (Tallon) sensitively hints at Young on drugs…”
Young has obviously committed the sin of achieving greatness at running. You’ve have no evidence supporting your claim that all American athletes cheat, so I don’t have to like, or not like, your cynicism.
My reaction to Young’s incredible AR, was awe, but yours is that he’s a cheater and for others that he’s really fast for a gay person.

He hasnt achieved greatness at running. he won a single race.Thats it.
Eh, let’s see what the Sahlmans and other Youngs can do. If you ask me, it has taken Nico 4-5 years to grow into that training from high school. He only had his break out as a star during his senior year and has kept the ball rolling since then

Hocker also won a single race. Im surprised you’re not impressed that Young set a PR.

The twins should be judged by how they’ve run to date and they don’t matchup to to Nico Young. That he’s their brother doesn’t mean they have a different ceiling compared to similar runners of their level and age.
Can you name non- twin brothers that have approached the level of a record setting sibling?

Nico Young went straight from HS to a 4th place finish at the next fall’s NCAA XC championships. His breakthrough was his sophomore year in HS and he’s done nothing but improve since.
Whatever he did at Newbury Park has nothing to do with how he’s running now.

Except for it wasn't the fall XC championships, they were postponed ~4 months til mid March 2021 that year because of covid, plus you had the indoor championships running parallel to that championship with some runners doubling back, very unique circumstances..
Still 4th place as a mid year true freshman is remarkable, just painting a fuller picture.
