I never once suggested that his performances have any bearing on the validity of his opinions.
I simply responded to people who want to act like he has earned relevance through his performances.
Amby was Editor in Chief of Runner's World before the modern Internet, and probably before you were born. One of the few places you could get any distance running content. HIs contributions to US distance running are nonpareil.
Why don't you register baby?
He does have a registered account. This is either a mod or a brojo anon-trolling for amusement and content generation. Some questionable comment deletions throughout the thread give this away.
You haven't read the subject of the thread, which is that he is saying she's a doper. The full article would be beyond you.
I have read the subject of the thread and the full article. Try again 😊
The effort needs to be yours. But it obviously won't help. You need to go back to pretending to your kids that you coach that the sport is fine and dandy - because you can't see or accept what smarter people than you know.
Here's the thread title, based on what he says in his article.
"Amby Burfoot says it out loud - Chepngetich is doping".
You haven't and no one else has disputed that is what he is claiming and that he spells this out in his article. If it wasn't so there would be nothing to discuss. You only show - again - that you generally have no idea what you are talking about - or what anyone else says for that matter. The lobotomy didn't work.
Who could have predicted you would quadruple down on your ignorance. Big surprise.
I guess by "no one else" you are naturally excluding Amby Burfoot himself: "For the record, I didn't write that Chepngetich is/was doping."
Also note that writing something in a newsletter is not "saying it out loud".
Wanna make it 5/5?
Just one of Burfoot's points made in his article:
"It took the Boston Athletic Association, which runs the Marathon, more than a week to disqualify Ruiz; but my friends and I knew the truth immediately. We had to stay mostly quiet in that interim period because it’s not cool to judge someone without evidence. But we knew."
"I feel as though I’m now in the same situation with Ruth Chepngetich. But I’m not staying quiet this time around. Sorry. We don’t have proof, but we know what we know."
So what does he know? He's effectively saying he thinks (actually it's stronger than that - he says "we know") Chepngetich is doping (without trying to claim he can prove it).
You've just shown by your inability to comprehend his full article that you're a complete moron 5x over.
Amby was Editor in Chief of Runner's World before the modern Internet…
Back when it might have been acceptable for a journalist to write something like ‘the inscrutable Chinese women runners’? ‘Inscrutable’? FFS.
In your modern-day sensibilities you missed what he was likely saying, which is that we knew virtually nothing about the Chinese runners as identifiable personalities. They were simply Ma's charges.
Because he doesn't understand the basic premise. We get faster by being more energy efficient. Why is this still a mystery to him and to you?
People like you fascinate me which is probably why I spend more time responding to them than I should. Anyway, you don't know me. Why would you presume to know what is and isn't a mystery to me? That we get faster by being more energy efficient is not even remotely a mystery to me. It's a really basic idea. I very much doubt it's a mystery to Amby either but have never discussed it with him.
But don't understand it. Why do you believe in the PED concept? Because you are stuck in a rutt of ignorance.
You don't understand what metabolism is, because if you did you would understand why Daniels' thesis is relevant in this argument.

I do a much better job than you ever would. You would tell the kids that they will amount to nothing unless they dope.
It's a good thing you don't get close to children. 😊

That's why we can be sure that he is just an attention seeking loner. Because he can abuse young athletes and avoid prosecution. He has nothing better to do with his sad life.

They will see through you soon enough. Not the sharpest tool in the box.

Like many here, you're a fantasist - about everything.
"It took the Boston Athletic Association, which runs the Marathon, more than a week to disqualify Ruiz; but my friends and I knew the truth immediately. We had to stay mostly quiet in that interim period because it’s not cool to judge someone without evidence. But we knew."

You've just shown by your inability to comprehend his full article that you're a complete moron 5x over.
So to recap:
You said: "If you think "we don't have a clue" you haven't been following what has been happening in the sport for decades."
Amby Burfoot, who has arguably been following the sport more more than 6 decades, said: "I don't have a clue".
You said: "... no one else has disputed (that "Amby Burfoot says it out loud - Chepngetich is doping").
Amby Burfoot, said: "For the record, I didn't write that Chepngetich is/was doping."
I'm just the messenger and score-keeper here. You are clearly 0/2 above, so now you want to change the subject, and go for best 3 out of 5?
From your extract, what knowledge can we conclude Burfoot has about Chepngetich when he says "We don't have proof."? (Hint: He already conceded he doesn't have a clue. You are beating a dead horse with the jawbone of an ass.)
Let's see if you will sextuple down on your own ignorance. I'm betting big money on it.

Hahaha good job. He will just insult you. But you have totally exposed his ignorance now 😄

Again you've decided you know something about the beliefs of a person you don't know. Why do you believe I believe in the PED concept?
"Ruth Chepngetich’s epic 2:09:56 world record in the Chicago Marathon on Sunday was unequivocally the greatest marathon performance of all time.
And that makes me queasy. In fact, I’m outraged.
I’m going to try to explain as briefly as possible why I am so troubled by this performance. And I admit that I could be wrong. After all, I have no evidence that Chepngetich cheated, as she has never failed a doping test.
But I don’t think I’m wrong. And I don’t think this is a time to be quiet."
Of course will be the usual refrain from The RF King! Ruth is most definitely a doper and Amby burfoot doesn’t need any failed test to prove anything. It’s subliminal messaging that Ruth had us all…

The RF King demands that you rekrunner stop perversely denying doping at every juncture in space and time. He says to listen to Armstrong who ‘knows it all’.
Burfoot does indeed assert that Ruth is doping. He knew and we all knew.

I think you got it wrong. Rekrunner is a known shady figure while Armstrong merely pleads for mercy for telling the truth about doping.
I do a much better job than you ever would. You would tell the kids that they will amount to nothing unless they dope.
It's a good thing you don't get close to children. 😊

Well the RF King will balk at your insults and criticisms about Armstrongliv. You surely can’t equate him trying to warn us about elite sport doping with being a pedophilic equivalent telling kids who join sports that it’s all doping?
Is there objective evidence of Armstrongliv propositioning young kids with quasi-sexual reminders that lusting with drugs is what it takes to succeed in sport?
The RF King will be very furious at you! Better not.

The RF King wants me to say that he has placed Faith in Amby, Rojo and Gault for their unparalleled instincts in the sport of distance. They can never be wrong if and when they doubt performances due to doping. They might get it wrong about which is the worse health crisis between covid vaccines and RF ( answer is RF) but not about doping.
