Coevette,
How is it that Jakob I is clean when running 3:28 at 19, but Mo Farah is dirty running 3:28 at a much older age?
Doorbells, NOP, sudden improvements, lies about injections, months training in remote Ethiopia (even now) etc. etc.
20 year old Steve Ovett was faster than 25 year old Mo at every distance up to half marathon.
Having said all that, Mo does get it harsher here simply as a British citizen. If he switched alliegance to the US,.mostbof those accusing him now would be all over his nutz.
Btw, presumably you're ex-runner who has some kind of broken record playing in his mind when it comes to this faulty logic.
If Jakob could run 3:28 at 19 clean it proves Mo is clean and I'm racist??
If Coe could run 3:28 clean on a Monaco track it proves Tim is clean???
No it doesn't. If proves you have poor reasoning skills.
Just to clarify- when I said it's possible no Kenyan has ran under 3:35 clean, I meant just that. That doping is so confirmed rampant in Kenya that all elite performances are suspect, just as all Russian performances are suspect, just as all GDR performances are suspect (except to Rekrunner).
I didn't even say that every Kenyan under 3:35 doped, let alone that no Kenyam could run under 3:35 clean.
