The entire BTC team is doping. You have to be born yesterday not to see that. When Shelby and Karissa set those 14:20 5000 times in 2020 I said flat out they were doping. If you are setting national senior distance records you are doping. That easy. That is the sport, just like cycling. And they do it because otherwise they would have no shot to be competitive.
To believe that any of the best athletes today are clean is to subscribe to one of two opinions, that the very best clean athletes are able to beat the best doped athletes, or that doping doesn't actually enhance performance and the belief that it does is a myth.

Clearly a rather interesting set of options.
The one you miss out is that the athletes have not taken drugs.
Speaking of mods: my posts directly correcting the troll's lies with facts get deleted, while the trolls keep trolling and making up stuff. Letsrun at its best. Some things will never change.

Lots of removed posts here, hard to gain context of the discussion when 30-40% of the posts are deleted.
per the original question, definitely more suspicious and while I marvel at some of the accomplishments I now take them with a grain of salt. Pre-2021, it was like wow! (and hope they are not doping) but was a fan of most of the athletes including Shelby. Since then and that awful press conference and social media outpouring last summer I'm somewhat skeptical of their results. At best, think that there was in inner group of say 2-5 doing something, at worst they could be corrupt through and through.
Because its true. That's why. The only difference between distance running and cycling is that in cycling the lid was blown off on the issue by enough scandals and confessions that no one can reasonably deny the general problem whereas here we still take refuge in deniability, in the idea that it is a few bad apples. In any sport where you have virtually undetectable chemicals (assuming anyone is looking) that as Fignon said can turn mules into thoroughbreds and mean the difference between professional success or going home, just assume that doping is taking place and go from there. My goodness, Shelby was actually caught doping while she and her teammate where crossing the Ma's Army threshold, yet what I wrote is unfair? LOL.

I don't understand people like these two. If you're so pessimistic, cynical, and jaded about the sport you think it's impossible to set a national record while being clean, how do you still have the energy to register and post regularly about this sport? Especially given its not the like the sport has got way worse on doping and you're a hangover fan from a golden age untouched by doping and you're holding onto that clean past. Sport has had doping issues for 50 plus years now.

All you are effectively saying is that you aren't bothered by the fact (you say) the sport has had doping issues for decades.

Proof you cannot follow a logical argument. If the athletes (record holders) are clean it means they are faster than doped athletes. So how does that work? Doping isn't effective? Or that there are no doped athletes? Tell WADA right away.

No, I'm saying I don't understand why people who think the sport is 100% dirty at the top and down still bother to follow said sport. It's like you guys get off on being righteously angry.
I'm bothered by doping issues, but I'm not so jaded that I think every single good athlete must be dirty simply because they're successful past X threshold or that every modern NR holder is dirty. I'm saying I don't understand how someone could get to that level of cynicism and still care enough to spend hours upon hours of their life commenting on that sport. It's pitiful tbh

Yes it may be that they faster than doped athletes by taking a longer and better route and be more gifted.
That must be a painful thought as your tautology is shattered.
