2012 was a very dirty 800m with the WR set. Symmonds was 5th and the 8th place guy may have been the only clean ones, if they were even that. Since Symmonds was more concerned with manking money than anything else (he skipped worlds in a fake protest designed to be a gamble to earn him money at end of career), I have to believe he may have been saucing too.
1. Wanyonyi - from a country with 400+ doping busts, and a coach with the most doping busts in athletics history.
2. Hoey - his pb a couple of years ago at 24 was 1:47 or something??
3. Sedjati - Described as the most obvious doper since Katir. Had his hotel room raided in Paris by doping police.
4. Bol - Failed an a-sample when his times had suddenly improved in his late 20's, dubiously got off with it thanks to James 'fix it' Templeton (same man who got full throttle Lagat off in the exact same way). Transpired he had been researching EPO on his phone. Sudden fall off in performances, now suddenly at age 31 is running sub 1:42.5.
5. Moula - enough said.
Poor Max Burgin - former world age record holder and probably by far the most naturally talented of them all - got spiked. Says it all. He really should have just dropped out immediately. Hope he is not going to be injured now. These massive fields are a disgrace. If Burgin is injured he should sue the Diamond League or whatever.

R souls like you should be sued for your accusations.
For a start bol was a victim of overzealous actions by the authorities, for which it cost him a lot, and hopefully a lot more by the accusers in their settlement.
Bol spent a year out of competion. Is that a sudden drop off? Being suspended?
Joggers like you should provide evidence or stfu. Especially if you don't understand the testing or appeal process
Haha “a victim”? How did he get synthetic EPO in his system? Why was he researching how to avoid drug testers in his phone? Sorry, it broke my heart when the news came out, but you can’t be that naive, surely.

You mean Max "Varicose" Burgin? Funny how you conveniently forget that not suspicious at all episode, Coevett.
You mean everyone just doesn’t accidentally inject themselves with EPO every now and then?
Oh gosh. Happens all the time. I know everytime I accidently do that I have to go out for a long fast run to help me forget my accident.
(actually I am 71 years old and my fastest 5K was 18:05 so yes I am joking) 18:05 is actually a very good womens time but on this board where everything is either world class or jogging, not so much.

He didn't.
You should read the appeal data. Like you it was a jump to conclusions.
It almost ruined his career as cost plenty for the authorities
