Am I the only one that thinks Nuguse AR is as suspect as the women's marathon WR?

There were multiple doping threads on Gudaf Tsegay the other day that were deleted by the mods very quickly. Why is Gudaf Tsegay protected but this thread stays up?

Prove it or STFU!

Allegedly her agent threatened to sue LR.

i just assume since he is an american mid-long distance runner, that he is clean. likewise, i assume if you are an african distance runner, especially a record holder of some sort, you're pretty much a drug cheat. is this not correct ?

El G and Ngeny were too biomechanically gorgeous and pretty to be chemically doped! One needs to assess holistically, and ease of movement of the parts of the body is a key ingredient in looking for a clean athlete.

Nuguse had parts that move with way too much air resistance and out of alignment compared to Ngeny and El G. If not for the shoes Nuguse would be a nobody miler. But he cannot escape his biomechanical traits and inefficiencies which is his most obvious giveaway for likely doping. Even rashid ramzi had parts that moved in very unsightly manner, like adil kaouch as well. That's how you know these champions all doped. Asbel Kiprop the same, way too insulting biomechanical motion.

When I look at biomechanical ease of motion and efficiency I look at it holistically in space-time. Frequency of oscillation of each part and the way it communicates with all the other frequencies of other parts as well as the earth terrain is of absolute pre-eminence. At the right resonant frequency, my 2 eyes just become electrified ( like an 'orgasm' for lack of better example) and amplified with large current and endorphins and dopamine just fills my brain and its nervous system and that's how I know an athlete is 100% clean. Only Mother Nature can encapsulate and engender resonant frequencies which can then induce unspeakable joy and rapture in my eyes and brain. kinda like the analogy with 'poetry in motion' you know?

My very good 2 cents.

It's the shoes as well. El G wore NORMAL track shoes but the American wore CARBON TRAMPOLINE shoes.

ncaa 1500 race times of 335 are equivalent to 332 or better in a monaco hoover race. or eugene once a year.

so coming out of college nuguse was a 332 runner at least.

so the guy has progressed 1 second per lap.

if he can cut a second off his PRs next year that will be fantastic.

Stop following the sport if you think it's that dirty you tool. If it bothered me that every exceptional performance had to met with suspicion, the only logical alternative is stop following track and field for you, DUH!

Agreed with most of what you said but would say that 85F and sunny in Eugene isnt the fastest possible conditions

No. Just accept the reality, and hope your favorite runners do not get caught.

The only thing that bothers me is that different NADOs test differently, to put it mildly. Having the AIU checking on our and on the Kenyan stars is a start (and catching the worse offenders), but they should do it everywhere.

WADA follows the sport. But it has trouble catching so many dopers.

I fully agree

I think its more suspect lol

He’s definitely NOT doping. He was pulled to that record by Jakob.

Plus, I know it’s not scientific, but I can tell by listening to him that he’s not the doping type.

Look I love Ritz and think he's one of the greatest talents in US history. He so moved the needle for me when he was in HS I drove to Philly to watch him run the Penn Relays.

And I love what he's done with the OAC. But how in the world can anyone say Ritz is the "benchmark of a clean-living athlete" when he was part of the Nike Oregon Project which was coached by now the banned coach Alberto Salazar? You can't. Even you yourself admit it's important to "look at who he's partnered up with professionally" when it comes to Nuguse - well the same is true for Ritz - and the answer is Salazar.

And the reality is I think Ritz tried to do the right thing with the NOP. If you read about the L-Carnitine injections, he was repeatedly asking if it was legal. They seemingly lied to him, but if you read the details, it's hard to conclude that he didn't receive an illegal injection of L-Carnitine during that experiment from Dr. Brown. When that came out I remember hearing a story about how another Colorado alum reacted by saying, "I'm sorry - intentional or not - that's doping in my book."

Now Ritz to his immense credit promptly left the NOP. And to be honest, the L-Carnitine doesn't really concern me. The question I keep reminding myself to ask Ritz is this - "Did Alberto Salazar ever give you a massage?" IF the answer is yes, I'm always going to wonder if it included testosterone.

As for Nuguse, it never crossed my mind once this season that he might be doping. He was a MASSIVE talent from day 1 at Notre Dame, kicking down the likes of Grant Fisher as a freshman at NCAAs.

The guy ran 3:34 BY HIMSELF without a rabbit in the heats of ACCs in 2021. If a rabbit is worth a second a lap, that means he was in 3:31 shape in 2021 - which makes sense as Hocker was a 3:30 guy that year.

Now he moves to altitude, stops worrying about school and is a 3:27 guy.

IF you are good responder to altitude, altitude is worth A LOT. Stop worrying about school and going to altitude helped improve my brother's 10,000 time by 2+ minutes (30:13 to 28:06), that's 4.8 seconds per lap, it certainy can help Nuguse improve by 1 second per lap.

Translation, anyone?

FloJo. Which is a great point given the strong and established ties between Yared and FloJo.

Chad and his serious thread are troll BS.
