Seb Coe and the 5000m

This is just whining from americans that can´t handle the fact that they aren´t the best anymore.

Anyone else reading this thread suffering from a sense of deja vu? Doesn't the Yifter guy use a different name to post this nonsense about Coe and EPO about once a month?

You need to change your last name to 'Incredible.'

You really think that East AFricans dominate the world of the distance running because they're allowed to use drugs? That's one of the saddest, most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

1) It's about money -- sure, the IAAF wants to foster atheltics across the globe, but not at the cost of the hand that feeds it.

2) They really are that good. While America and Europe eat crap, get little exercise in youth and waste away on myspace, Kenyans and Ethiopians are chasing goats and running to school. They've been doing it for thousands of years.

Bingo. He's done it 4 or 5 times now at least. After every point he makes gets shot down in flames, he disappears for a few months and then starts it up again. He's next sheduled for an appearance in February/March, I believe.

who gets the majority of their money from Europe, Japan and the USA, be busting these supposed African cheats so that their base can start winning medals again?

Nope, shoe companies want world records run in their shoes at any cost........coaches like Hermans make money from the shoe companies too if they produce world cheaters, er, ah, world beaters....Fila and Nike don't give a damn about the integrity of the athletes they sponsor. Records equal mone; like in baseball, homeruns sapposedly excite the crap out of the fans.
