Because you didn’t know about Katir means no one knew about him huh. The logic used here is so so ilogical it’s impossible to keep up. Spain is such a well known doping country in some of your minds. You totally overlook your own country. And have no trouble labeling Katir as a cheater with no evidence what so ever. The man ran 12:50 at Gateshead a few weeks ago now 3:28 at Monaco. And because he has made massive improvements without your knowledge he’s a cheater in your view. He may turn out to be a cheater for all we know. But no one in this Forum and I mean No one knows that for certain. With the logic some of you here use the Spaniards have every right to say Hobbs Kessler must be a cheater. High Schhool 1500 record quicker than college record. Makes no sense to me I saw them both. But I don’t accuse anyone of cheating. Just because first of all they don’t happen to be a fellow countryman of mine. I saw Jim Ryun beat Peter Snell Olympic 800 and 1500 hundred champion I didn’t see anyone label him a cheater right away. Biggest most dissapointment of a drug cheat of all time Lance Armstrong and people want to sweep that under the rug.
And for some of you actual logical real track fans. Don’t you guys think that in the Olympic 1500 final. If it’s an honest race at all. And I don’t mean run at 3:50 pace again . I really love watching Cole Hocker and Centro Run. But I don’t just automatically think if the front runners run a low 3:30s pace that Hocker and Centrowitz win just because they run 50-52 last lap of a slow pace. All this assuming they make the final. And I do include NGuse also I am not discounting him. All of this is pre supposition on Timothy Cheryiot and Ingebritsen being there. And never discount some not as well know individual coming out of the woodwork. I think there are about as many talented 1500 meter guys out there as there have been in a long time. And I really don’t think the Kenyans Ethiopians, Brits, or anyone wants to see someone steal the title again running 3:50. But we will all see.
