UK defamation laws aren’t so friendly to people who spew lies without evidence. Here’s to hoping you are held accountable for accusing people of cheating online when you have no sound basis.
just under 18 min for a 5k (and he has done 3 this year) but a 2.36 marathon. hmmmm
maybe an effect of age? im 50 and the older i get the harder short distances seem to be. but only few sec/km slower than 5k racepace is possible over the marathon distance
Does the mandatory state sponsored brit doping program extend to these old geezers too? How pathetic the brits are that they try to distract their populace from their third world economy and living conditions with a desperate attempt for success in sports through doping.
Hahahaha You are one of the most disliked posters ever. Whenever I come here there are always multiple threads where you are arguing with different people.
With the few intelligent posters on a thread I have discussions. The arguments are confined to the morons. There are quite a few of you.

It won't happen. No one is sued for discussing doping here. So you'll just have to live with it.
I have a dirty sport and a runner who has recorded 2:36 at age 65, only twenty or so minutes slower than his best over thirty years ago, which I don't find credible. Quoting other runners at me also means nothing as you don't know whether they were clean, either.
But you're only here to bump up the thread which was going nowhere until you started trolling it.
It only keeps going because posters like you keep responding. It's impossible for you to accept that a top age-group athlete could be doping, like so many others.
Derek Turnbull at 65 would've clocked 2.36/37 in today's shoes. Derek also broke 5 for the mile at 65. Derek was known to dope on Black Mac beer on his sheep farm in the deep south of UnZid.
A 5 minute mile doesn't enable a runner to run 2:36 for the marathon or every 14 year old schoolboy runner could do it. More horse manure.
I am the first guy to be suspicious of fast masters … an approach I will continue to “ride out” … (ahem). That said, this is believable to me.
1) He was elite when young. 2) He runs a sh!tlload of miles. 3) His performance is in a marathon.
That last point is key. Masters who are obvious dopers (riding it out?) get better overall. Guys who are not obvious dopers tend to figure out how to maximize one natural talent as they age. Think Pete Magill for the 5k (huge natural vo2).
Tommy is a beast at “threshold” and knows how to run a marathon. His relatively slow 5k times actually make it even more of a believable performance.
Sure - he was elite when he was young but he has slowed only twenty minutes into his mid-sixties. So if he is clean he would be almost as fast as his peak if he doped. At 64. Beyond naive.

Some more evidence, if any was needed, that you know nothing about training and physiology. You are embarrassing yourself.
It was explained to you a few times. But you are too stupid to understand a simple explanation. Why don't you just leave? You are not wanted here.
You explain nothing. No one has. They have just insisted his performance must be clean. Because he was an alcoholic (which means he still is but is in recovery). This is a board for fantasists.

You are so bitter that you aged poorly... Why don't you start spending more time exercising and less time on the internet?

You are stupid. You don't understand explanations. I don't know if he is clean. But I know that that is a possibility. This is a board for people who like running. You are not one of those people. Just leave. No one will miss you, I promise.

Correction: this is a board for people who like a doped sport, because that's what running is now.
