Egregiously fraudulent performance. The EPO use is obvious. The "19-year-old" nonsense is just the cherry on top.

Anyone who condones this nonsense isn't only offering tacit support to a cheating athlete, but is also lending support to the drug-peddlers, exploitative Italian coaches and agents, corrupt institutions like the IAAF and so on. It's pure, pathetic boot-licking. Stop it.

You're an expert on drugs are you? You sure he's not doping on something different to EPO - maybe a bit of talent in the mix too?

Of course he has talent. No one is refuting that. When you out rocket fuel into a Ferrari, then you get an athlete running 3:31 indoors looking nonplussed.

That was pretty bad. Wasnt even breathing through his mouth. Totally relaxed. Zero stress or strain. Straight into a jog with no hard breathing AT ALL. I mean, at least pretend like it was difficult. Something really needs to be done.

You're implying that he ran at less than 100% effort. If he ran at 98% effort, an all out race would be 3:27.

This from the SDSU student.

It's much easier to get iron from somewhere else besides eating rivets. That seems a bit drastic. Though, new and fresh York steaks seems to be a much better choice than spoiled and old York steak.

Well Tommy, you might want to first understand the difference between "demeanor" and "looks".

But having said that, I must say that he "looks" as though an utter moron would look in this situation.

Yes, he looks like a moron, and he acts like a cheating moron.

IMO :)

Sorry, this was really sad, like when MJ cruised through the line in his WR 400m way back, or when Dibaba cruised through the line in her WR, IIRC.

Yeah, I've been getting a lot of SDSU comments. I'm sure everyone else on LR graduated from an Ivy League school which, according to the Claudia Lane thread, means your parents bought your way in.

My question to all the people who thought it looked too easy for Tefera, is how fast would he have run with an all out effort?

Oh, STFU you boring broken record.

Indoors and outdoors are not that different.

So likely age cheat (most agree on that one) "19" y.o. (maybe 21) Ethio runs 3:31, and you are all like "OMG, OMG, OMG......EPO!!!!!!!!!"

legit aged 17 y.o. white boy runs 3:31, and y'all are like: "hey, he's got great genes, and a hard working Dad coach. It's totally understandable. Now the world can see: white runners are clean AND the best! Africans are cheats and not as fast! M_T&F_G_A!"

Give it a rest, seriously.

These guys probably loaded to the max over the winter, are peaking to break WRs in February in order to get some big appearance money cheques for the summer, which they hope to cash before the inevitable busts.

And what about your boy Jakob, who ran just as fast outdoors while AT LEAST 2 years younger than Tefera ???

Is he gonna still be "dancing" this summer?

Jacka$$.

The “white boy” you reference is highly suspect in my white mind as well as the “19 year old” that doesn’t need to breath very hard.

Why are you making this a racial issue?

Unbelievable performances are just that.

Posts like this are stupid and borderline deletable.

I acknowledge this is your fantasy world, and you can rule it however you see fit. I'm sorry you don't like cynicism and opposing viewpoints.

But keep in mind, I've been in the sport just as long as you have. I lived through the first EPO era just like you did. I saw ELG and Komen and Geb and knew something was wrong. Very wrong. And when an 19 year old kid breaks one of their records, in February, and he happens to be from a country with abysmal drug testing, and a countryman of top class dopers like Dibaba and Ayana...I don't see a fantastic performance, I see drugs.

You can keep living in a fantasy world, or you can speak up, and maybe sooner or later, the drug abuse in the sport will be taken seriously. Keep pretending you're impressed with these synthetic performances, and you'll be doomed to be treated to the for the rest of your life.

It looks like Muir is wearing flats with spikes on the bottom.

Jakob is an exceptional talent out of an exceptionally talented family with all the ingredients to maximize that talent...CLEAN. Based on the fact that he gets tested near weekly and that Norway is one of the least corrupt countries in the world, I'd say there's no reason to suspect him at all.

Both Kenya and Ethiopia should have been suspended a long time ago, and remained so until their houses are in order. The only reason guys like Tefera are allowed to compete is because of the 'that's racist' zombie herd cries from people like you.

BTW, compare Jakob after his 3:36 with Tefera not breathing at all as he crosses the line in 3:31. Jakob was still breathing hard whilst interviewed post race.

You have a point.

You are literally seeing what you want to see regarding the breathing thing. We don’t have an interview of Tefera to compare against, but in the video of Jakob he eases down to a jog and walks around calmly with his hands aloft in a little celebration. Looks like he’s been for a jog. He’s not exactly flat on his back like Muir is he.

It’s no different to the Tefera video.

I 100% agree. Jakob looked less tired at the end of that race than Tefera. Tefera lost form in the last 10 meters of the race. He barely got by Kejelcha. I don't get people who think he wasn't tired. He maxed out.

And are these EPO accusers total idiots. Do you think if you are on EPO you still don't go to max heart rate? You think a doper on EPO doesn't get his heart rate up or breathe hard? That might be the dumbest thing I've ever read.

If it was true, why wouldn't they run like 3:19?

Actually this reminds me more of the Diamond League 5000m final last year where Berega sat behind Kejelcha for most of the race and then sprinted past for an unreal time.

I was actually surprised not to see Jakob or Filip in the race, since they had just competed at a small meet with no competition. This meet is usually one of the two fastest of the indoor campaign in Europe. Then again, I see no need to go for indoor pr's with World's six months away.

100% agree.

Oh come on, he was likely tested four or five times in the past year, that's 73-94 days between tests. Oh course if he was taking something naughty the IAAF is going to catch him.
