Amby Burfoot says it out loud - Chepngetich is doping

Byyyyyye.

I feel sympathy for a lot of young athletes. They might have amounted to something or at least enjoyed the sport instead of having a dull and judgemental equivalent of a scout leader telling them what they should think.

Because you have stated your beliefs many times. Did you change your mind recently?

You don't know any elite athletes.

Who could have predicted you would fall back down on your own ignorance six times in a row?

What is this thread about? What all these threads are about. You just said the magic word yourself: what "he believes", and what everyone else "believes", while collectively "they don't have a clue".

Are you gonna go for lucky 7? I'm gonna have to google how to say 7-tuple and 8-tuple and 9-tuple and "to infinity and beyond".

What would Ruth Chepngetich run if she was doping?

Burfoot says he "knows" from his longstanding experience in the sport that Chepngetich is a doper but also says he can't prove it. That's his position in a nutshell and is spelled out in the article that you can't follow. If he isn't saying that then he isn't saying anything. It's quite a simple point but even simple is too much for you.

Well he didn't say that, and in fact, he expressly denied it, so I guess you accept it must be the latter: "he isn't saying anything".

What did he say he "knows" about Chepngetich? He said "we know what we know". Doesn't everyone? We also "don't know what we don't know".

Unlike you, he does have longstanding experience, and unlike you he still said "I admit that I could be wrong", and "For the record, I didn't write that Chepngetich is/was doping." and "I don't have a clue".

So this thread is about unfounded beliefs. Beliefs cannot transform into knowledge, no matter how strong you believe, or how long you believe -- it is still a belief.

I posted this previously but you apparently didn't understand it so I will try again.

"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, unlike everyone else in this thread who has read his article, you are the only one who doesn't know what Burfoot says he knows.

Lol, great question. The mind boggles, 2:07:58?

Old white man basically says I couldn’t have ran those times so a women should have been able to do so either unless doping.

this we could bed it to bed he was also doping in some way back in the day then?

You can only speak for yourself. What does your quote say he knew? Amby Burfoot and other athletes "knew" Rosie Ruiz didn't win.

Here's how normal people behave: Amby Burfoot, with all his six decades of experience as an athlete, Boston Marathon winner, and a writer, can voice his suspicions, while still admitting he could be wrong, while expressly denying he wrote "Chepngetich is doping", and while saying, notwithstanding his six decades of experience, that he "doesn't have a clue".

Here's how Armstronglivs behaves: Armstronglivs, with his five decades of inexperience, will promote these suspicions as knowledge based on experience, and will never admit he is wrong, even when the contradictions are demonstrated unambiguously, but instead will pretend the messenger is wrong, and will pretend he knows better than Amby Burfoot what Amby Burfoot said. The only thing in common is that you also "don't have a clue".

You've nonupled down on your ignorance -- will you go for the decuple?
