She wasn't running any other sprint races. Would not have been sprint training. On vdot a 27 secs 200m converts to a potential of a 1.53!
This is an incredibly bad post.
If you are "converting" a 200 time to anything using "vdot" then you don't remotely understand "vdot" or what you are talking about.
Yours is an incredibly bad reply.
It is called context! Clearly 26.5 200m for a 14 year old female is ridiculously quick for a middle distance runner and suggests potential way beyond her 2.08 at the time. It is top speed that ultimately limits any runner and she showed that at a very early age she had it.
As I have said, all be it she was younger at the time, in that same summer 2008 Dina Asher-Smith ran a PB of 26.5 200m. Have you heard of her?
Maybe a hot take, but yes, I think she is certainly doped; TO THE GILLS!
However, i also think that could suggest that the whole group is on something (which is pretty plausible!). if thats the case, she’ll never get caught as British athletics will shield Keely with their lives!! They’ve also made Georgia a ‘darling’ of the media, with her ‘cute’ parkrun to Olympic medal story *rolls eyes*, so I expect when she is eventually caught, we’ll hear nothing and she’ll just ‘retire’…
Froome was accused of doping by a bunch of French dopers as the one thing they couldn't stand was a Brit winning their race. He released his test results, but that would never be enough for you will it.
Yeah Froome and Wiggins were two of the greatest cyclists of all time. Having Lance conquer France for 7 years in a row was bad enough, but the French were simply unable to accept the toughness of the Brits in cycling who had a long history of dominating big Tours before Froome and Wiggins. Besides, as Wiggins honestly reported in his biography, the British Sky team had a no needles policy so none of their cyclists ever took an injection or infusion. How are you going to take any useful PEDs without injections? Froome was probably one of the toughest cyclists who ever lived. He pushed himself so hard in the Vuelta that his kidneys went into failure and started producing asthma drugs thereby artificially producing off-the-charts drugs tests results. But there was no real positive drugs test for anyone to see there.
As another testament to their toughness, is worth noting that both of these guys overcame dangerously life threatening asthma and they had to take high doses of steroids just to be able to get out of bed in the morning which did not give them any advantage against their competitors.
I'm not suspicious of her but I wish she hadn't swiped that bronze from Welteji in the final two steps.
Once she ran 4th at world indoors and 2nd at European Championships it was a bit of a hint she could be competitive in Paris.
Very familiar to anyone who has followed horse racing. Class over speed. So many people here only look at final times and never bother to notice where the athlete is finishing in relation to their peers. Throughout 2024 Hunter-Bell's past performance chart had 1s and other high finishes all over the place, with only a couple of clunkers.
Next you'll be telling us some BS about jass "pharma user" hull being an outlier and that her improvements over the pasty 11 months have been unaidied?
The Brits will get caught when the Americans get caught,, simple as that.. Or is Shelby (who is defended by far too many) the sacrificial lamb who will absolve everyone else's sins? Personally I don't subscribe to widespread doping, just poor development in those who could do better. Bell is running as her talent allows - training with Keely has opened her eyes to what is possible, just as with the Americans these days (a 16yo running 1.42). I don't worry about doping - either the system works (debatable except for the Kenyans it seems) or it doesn't. Do something about that rather than speculate with no proof. But then it is pretty obvious that most people posting have never coached a national or World-class athlete, if you had you would see what is possible and lament those who had the ability, but didn't develop it to its potential (mentally or physically).
There is nothing suspicious about any progression. It is all possible on Letsrun. If dopers exist they are never the most successful athletes or the fastest and certainly not those who make off the charts gains in a very short period. It's all "talent, training, nutrition, motivation, shoes" and even "God". No fast athlete would dream of doping.
Most posters are sceptical about many progressions.
You are ridiculous.
You missed that I was paraphrasing the doping deniers here.
