She's obviously a cheater, so I'm not a fan.
However, many in the sport cheat. Jeter's cheating just seems (and I feel odd saying this) blatant. And generally, I'm a fan of the sport.
She could come clean; that will never happen. Then I'd be a fan of hers.

Why don't you go back just one more year? In 2003 Ritz only ran a 13:39 5k. Oh, what was that? He was often injured. Oh, I forgot, injury is something that only happens to our white distance runners to explain mid career leaps in performance.
Oh, what was that? Ritz performance is not the third best of all time? Wow, I never new that the presence of faster Africans means that a white guy running 12:56 is a perfectly normal event.
Mental masturbation is all you are doing.
Ritz's pr in 2003 was 13:22. Jeter's pr in 2003 was 11.79. Do you really want to keep going backward? I'm not making excuses for anyone, so I don't know why you're bringing up injuries.
I'm also not sure what your point about the Africans is.
My original point still stands. Ritz's improvements have been minor compared to Jeter's, so it's not much of a comparison.
Oops, I'm supposed to be "not a fan" for this thread. My bad.

Stand in line you sneaky bastard!!!
I don't know If I said it already but ...Hey good stuff...keep up the good work! :) I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I'm glad I found your blog. Thanks,)
A definite great read..

Excellent! The "Dathan Ritzenhein - Are you a fan?" thread, identical in format to this one, disappears after a few hours. I wonder why this thread is allowed to continue for several days and that one gets pulled.
Because the Jojo brothers are just freedom of speech Nazi's who don't mind people supporting their website, posting on their message board and because of the high traffic volume, profit from advertising etc - just as long as you write what is agreeable to them.
And if you are reading this then are probably pretty "lucky" because any time soon this is going to disappear too.

Jeter is not Jamaican or Russian, she does not have a Russian or Jamaican coach (the people largely responsible for embarrassing the sport over drugs), therefore she is likely clean. The drug cases of Ben Johnson, Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery, and the rest of Trevor Graham's crew all had a Jamaican connection, with Kelly White and Dwain Chambers with Korchemny.
Is this for real or a troll?

Jeter has shown a very steady progression in her 100m PRs since 2004:
2004 - 11.56
2006 - 11.48
2007 - 11.02
2008 - 10.97
2009 - 10.64
This is not what you would expect to see with someone using PEDs. The was no sudden spike in her performance.
So in 2007 she dropped .4 in one year, after a considerable plateau. In 2009 she dropped .3, from outside the top 10 for the year to the second fastest time in history. Neither of these represent a spike in performance?
