that if you want to break the WR in the 800 set by a notorious doper, you have to dope yourself. It's not like WK was a tallentless hack; he was a legit 1:43 guy even without the EPO and friends.
Bobby Fischer was an android.
Nah, making claims without any factual basis doesn't do it for me.

Notorious doper? Based on what evidence?
There are plenty of guys with 1:43 ability, So why are they not now running 1:41? EPO works better on longer rather than shorter track events. If he was using EPO why would his 1,500 be so (relatively) slow- 3:42. Even his 1,000m pr shows a dropping off in performance
He never contested seriously over 1500m. I don't think WK
was a doper. He was focusing on efficiency. No one is near
him when it comes to running economy. I saw him at Bislet
in '96 blowing Rodal off the track with a 1.42 clocking.
Too bad the kenyans prevented him from becoming OC.
