You said "we" expect them to hold WRs in those events - liar.
No excuses,
Complete opposite of an Hocker fan.
You expect something from a global champ what almost nobody has done in this millennium. Because you are stupid.
In this millennium we have seen runners like Rudisha, Ingebrigtsen and Bekele break world records as well as hold global titles. But your attempts to find excuses for Hocker's lack of achievement outside two races has become pathetic. He didn't need to break world records - although the best in the sport have typically done that - he could have at least won some international races other than one a year. As I said above, I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be another Katir.
Excuses for what Dumbo?
I don't like him at all.
WRs are great achievements, Hocker has not set any so far, clearly currently not an all-time great.
But not many who are both Olympic and World champ.
In this millennium, Bekele, Rudisha and Cheptegei are the only global champs to set a WR in those events.
Well over 40 havn't. Yet you expect this from a global champ - because you are stupid.

Actually it's because I remember the sport before last week, which you obviously don't. Many global champions were also world record holders. But since you are a moron I didn't say he had to set world records but breaking records was often the case with the best in the sport. He obviously isn't amongst them. But you wouldn't remember that from the history of the sport.
What you can't come up with is a credible reason why a double world champion can't win an international race outside a championship final. That's about as suspicious it gets.
Some are more obvious than others. But the point is that his status as a champion is substantially diminished by his inability to win more than one big race a year. I've repeated it but you still haven't got it.

I know rhe history much better than you.
In this millennium, 4 out of 46 global champions also set a WR in those events. Yet, you expect global champs to do this. Because you are stupid.
He isn't a double world champion.
For you, all those athletes are dopers. Your point is completely nonsensical- as almost all of your "points". Because you are stupid.
Pointing out the numerous holes in your argument isn't quibbling.
You are being evasive, so I will put forth a list of questions I am asking you to answer clearly.
1. Can you provide a list of clean distance runners who have been consistent winners in the last 30 years?
2. Which races were more important to Hocker this year: GST races or the US national championships?
3. If Hocker had run a quarter of a second faster in the 3000 at the Millrose Games in February and a tenth of a second faster in the 1500 at GST Philadelphia in June, would you be satisfied?
Three very simple questions you should be able to answer.
1. All clean champions won more than one race a year. If they didn't they were juiced for their global title.
2. Hocker's career is as a professional athlete. Professional athletes aim to win more than one race a year.
3. Nothing enables Hocker to win races he didn't win.
The reality is that he has no significant achievements outside one race in each of the last two years. That isn't what champions show. He can no more be trusted than anything else in the sport today.
Wow. On a holiday when people are spending time with their families, being merry, and spreading cheer, you chose to come to this board to accuse someone of doping. How awful.
As I suspected, you did not directly answer my questions. You gave evasive responses because you know those questions expose the stupidity of your argument.
1. You cannot provide a list of clean distance runners who have been consistent winners in the last 30 years. That's because the level of competition is so much higher now than it was in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.
2. The US national championships were obviously more important to Hocker than GST. Only an ignoramus would suggest the US national championships aren't significant.
3. Your assertion that Hocker must be a doper because he hasn't broken any world records or won international races outside of global championships boils down to him not running a quarter of a second faster in a 3000 in February and a tenth of a second faster in a 1500 in June. Do you not realize how stupid you sound?
What you can't come up with is a credible reason why a double world champion can't win an international race outside a championship final. That's about as suspicious it gets.
You don't understand peaking. We ahve given you a credible reason dozens of times but you just don't believe it. You are stupid.
So many at the top are not dopers? Hundreds of times in this forum you have said the opposite.
Try comprehending what is written. To say some are "more obvious than others" isn't to say the others aren't doping, only that their doping is less obvious. Basic Grade level English.

Mondo duPlantis makes Hocker look like a joke. Actually he makes quite a few "top" runners look pretty average.

2. Hocker's career is as a professional athlete. Professional athletes aim to win more than one race a year.

I didn't come here to accuse Hocker of doping but to point out the obvious; outside one race a year he is an indifferent performer. But it hasn't stopped you returning from your holiday to indignantly defend him. Don't you have anything better to do?

Lance, Ramzi, Kiprop, Marion Jones and so many others understood the process of "peaking".
Who does Jakob think of first that motivates him to train when he wakes up? I feel like it’s Hocker because he has won gold the last 2 championships they’ve raced each other in. It probably was Kerr in 2023/2024 but that ship has kind of sailed. Hope we see all three at world indoors.

For you all at the top are dopers.
Now you change to some of the not so obvious ones are non dopers?

You are contradicting yourself regularly, Dumbo.
Saying no one at the top gets a free pass isn't the same as saying everyone at the top is doping. But distinctions like that are beyond you. The irony in your name-calling.
