"In the Fukuoka Marathon in Japan in December 1968, Burfoot ran a personal best time of 2:14:28, which was one second from the American marathon record at the time."
Ambrose Joel Burfoot (born August 19, 1946) is a former American marathoner whose peak competitive years came in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was the winner of the 1968 Boston Marathon. After retiring from competition,...
A shorter version of this: When a guy breaks a world record, does Amby calculate whether that's more than 10% faster than the women's record? If so, does he conclude that the guy must be cheating?
Also, if I were a woman, I don't know that I'd be looking to a 78-year-old man to tell me which women runners I should and shouldn't be inspired by.
So you have no respect for the understanding and knowledge that comes from years of experience. You will never see the doping that is right under your nose.
Read Amby's words and shut up. Your "years of experience" resulted in a moronic loudmouth. Be quiet for once.

impressive thing I remember about Amby was he ran 8:44 in an indoor 2-mile (I think 11 laps to the mile ?) Knights of Columbus track meet (Boston Garden)? He had just come of cross country season at Wesleyan and had done little to no speedwork. This was in a leadup to his win at the Boston marathon in April 1968.
Great story by Amby, he nailed it. Also agree with the alleged guilt of the Rosa agents. They have been dirty for decades and have obviously been able to manipulate the system to their advantage.

For the record, I didn't write that Chepngetich is/was doping. I don't have a clue. I said there were ample reasons to be suspicious of her 2:09:56. It's curious to me what's going on at WMM doping controls. Chicago, for example, has had five winners and 1 podium finisher later fail a doping test. Shobukhova, Jeptoo, Sumgong. But they always pass the tests presumably given at the event. Same for other WMM. It's not just Chicago's problem.
what you said could be said about Paula Radcliffe though. Where were you at the time back then?
Marathon is a massive outlier. Despite the fact that the men’s WR is already insanely fast.
Moreover, many of those differentials are cases where the women world record holder is either from a known doping program with documents proving their doping use, or widely suspected of doping because they came from nowhere to destroy those records.
100m Flo Jo's likely wind-aided (gauges had been indicating high winds in Indy) 100m record; her sudden improvement, huge muscle gains, in 1988 and early death prompted suspicions of doping.
200m See 100m, just not wind-aided.
400m Doping records from the former East Germany show Marita Koch's 47.60 is not legit.
800m The eye test shows that Jarmila Kratochvilova of Czecheslovakia was on a similar steroid diet at Koch.
3000m Ma's army ran spectacular times for a couple years, maybe even aided by a short track at their own national champs, and then the doping positives and dnf's started before a flood of accusations leveled at Ma from his own former athletes.
