Aren't they drug tested? ?
Every two/three years the cops go and raid the local gyms in my area. Every time a couple of "amateur" champion bodybuilders get busted. They all have impossible delts and shoulders.

Years ago, bekele and geb closed a 10k with a sub 13 5k. Knowing how rare a sub 13 5 k is in this day and age; and considering that was the height of the epo era, I'll let the reader draw his/her own conclusions.
And there are idiots here claiming that the WRs would be the same if the top runners could still EPO like it was 2004.
Most of the wr's were set in the EPO era.

I believe you live in the U.K? And they actually go in and raid local gyms for roid users? What do they look for? Roids in the lockers? Syringes in people's gym bags?

No not in the UK. I believe that they do have undercover informants/agents. Just imagine, "Ga'day sonny-boy, you wouldn't know where I could get some of those Anna-bolic steroids, would you? I'm a bodybuilder." Lolz
its still the epo era.nothings changed.certain countries still protect their athletes,as do the sponsors,and coaches.often its the coaches,doping them up.almost all top sprinters,and field athletes(and many second tiers)are on steroids,peptides,and hgh,and most elite distance runners are on cocktails of drugs.the testers have to look like theyre doing their job,but of coarse its a farce.one or two expendables get popped,but thats it.the americans especially,get away with it,en masse.

Indeed, and unless you believe it a coincidence that the best runners in history were all active in one decade of EPO to the max, it's silly to believe that the WRs wouldn't tumble if the present generation had the same licence to dope.

+1 so, so true.
Don't think the Dibabas matter that much to the IAAF, esp. under Coe's lead. Bolt, yes of course, and also Radcliffe, Farah, and Kipchoge. Maybe Rupp too, because he is (was) so closely associated with Farah. Interestingly, we have already seen the coverups for Bolt (clen/IOC), Radcliffe (off scores) and Farah (doorbell + Aden), but nothing yet about Kipchoge.
All of the rest is expendable, like Kiptum and Kiprop, Jeptoo and Sumgong.
But it would be hilarious if they catch Gatlin or Kisorio again.
Or Semenya with EPO, that would really make my day.
