This isn't a question of "doubt." Koch doped. There is detailed documentary evidence from the GDR about her regimen, covering years.
And Paulino who just ran a sub 48 as well?

According to the Stasi archives, Koch took steroids - there's not much of a "doubt" about it. Her 47.60 does have a what if - what could she have run that day from a better lane than 2?
According to athletes associated with Bobby Kersee, he's been in and around drugs his whole life and supposedly cant coach a non-drugged athlete.
See why we either doubt both or believe both?
When SML breaks the WR and it stands for the next 40 years, future generations will ask the same questions you're asking of Koch.
OH shut up, you twit

I would be SHOCKED if sydney is doping. She's been a star since day 1. Among the most talented T&F athletes ever.
I would not be shocked to learn that any world record holder is doping, but if anyone is going to do it clean, you would expect to to be someone who was world class in her mid teens.
If your view is that anyone within a couple percentage of the WR is a doper, then fine. That's not an insane take. But let's not pretend that there's anything suspicious about Syd other than that she's the best ever.

Not sure why people are surprised considering what she has run for 400h
Truly remarkable athlete
Because people are miserable sobs who have sorry to no lives and do not want to see anyone succeed at things they are incapable of doing.

Same coach as Flo Jo you cannot be serious!
As usual Americans get a pass
Would have been an actual WR on a dry track

She was maybe the best young talent we’ve ever seen in the long sprints, but even with a better track, better lane, and better shoes she still can’t get the record of someone who looked like she had 300 ng/dl test, but yeah they’re totally equally suspicious
That would make Paulino suspicious as well, right?

If you were the most talented athlete ever, and racing completely clean, why would you choose to be coached by a coach with a record of doping all his athletes?
Well, Allyson Felix, Athing Mu, Kenny Harrison, Prandini etc should sue the hell out of Kersee, because they clearly did not benefit from the doping that you have stated Kersee gave them. Or perhaps you are just a freak...

Sensational performance by Sydney! Haters are running out of reasons to hate her.
- They said she didn't race enough. She has raced regularly the past two years.
- They said she didn't have personality. She has shown plenty.
- They didn't respect her dominance in the hurdles because they said it was a weak event, and they claimed she was ducking stronger competition in the flat. She just beat the best in the flat and became the second-fastest woman ever.
Now the only thing haters have to cling to is accusing her of doping. But that just comes with the territory of being a great performer (let's be honest, even if she wasn't with Kersee, people would still be accusing her).
Love her or hate her, Sydney is now firmly in the female track GOAT conversation.
But she is with Kersee.
Is Paulino with Kersee as well?

curious if we see SML run I 400H again, or if she just stays with the 400
I would like to see her go back for one race drop a sub 50 then kiss it goodbye.

She's gonna want to go under 50 and win another gold in LA. After that she will be done with the 400h - although she's definitely gonna retire after LA anyway.

F*ck the weather gods! On a dry track, that's a WR run
The weather was perfect for sprinting. Wet conditions = lower air pressure, but it wasn't cold.
400 times always seem to be fastest in conditions like this.
Best sprinting requires warm, dry weather. It was a little on the chilly side.

World class in teens
------------------------------------------
World class in teens - what like Asbel Kiprop world junior champ or Lance Armstron who turned pro at 16. They have to be extremely good but that only takes you so far
=======================================================
Marion Jones set a 15-year-old world age group record with a time of 11.13 seconds in the 100 meters.=========================================================
Try harder

She won't race Paulino & Naser now until Beijing 27, and then once again in LA 28.
It'll be SML vBol all over again where she'll only face her competition at the Champs and will race them, like, 3 or 4 times in her whole career. Lol.

IKR. I was pissed when it started to rain.
What is with people on here always claiming wet tracks are slower. It is actually the opposite. Wet tracks are slightly faster. Also...
