Clean, no question.
That was a fun era. The Coe/Ovett rivalry. Track was more popular and most people had an opinion on which one they liked better.
I liked Ovett- he seemed more down to earth and like a guy I would be friends with. I also liked his touch of arrogance.
My GF at the time hated him and liked Coe because he seemed like a real gentleman.

I love all of the big-3 of GB 70s/80s running.
Coe was likely a doper, but I don’t care. People should be allowed to use science to be faster runners.

And listen to what say the TV speaker about David Moorcroft (WR 5000 1982):
He went over a night from 57 worldwide rank to the first rank. (*)
You can see at the end of the race that Aouita was in depression despite beating a world record. That's because some weeks ago another Brit "stole" from him the 1500m WR.
(*) Yes I learned over the years to understand spoken English, especially American.
Because British english is more complex to hear.

Is there a shred of contemporaneous proof that Coe was a doper? Genuinely asking. Your feelings being hurt that Coe was faster than you isn't proof, btw.

Clean. His gift was obviously that perfectly balanced running stride which was a genetic gift.
To those who stupidly think he doped, what age did he begin doping?

I don't have his progression in front of me, but off the top of my head my best guess would be when he was 20-21, in 1977 or 1978.

Actually, they are.
FACT 1) Anyone faster than me is a doper.
FACT 2) Anyone slower than me is a hobby jogger.

Ultra talented, a bit privileged, darling of british press, highly successful athletics career.
Solid representative of sport as long as he continues hard line against Russia and **DSD/Trans** competing against women.

Eight-hundred meters is correlated more to 400m performance than 1500m performance. All 400m gold medalists, Olympics & W.C. since 1960 have been (44.xx to 47.xx) 400m guys or guys capable of (44.xx to 47.xx) 400m. Since 1960, some 800m gold medalists have been 3:42 plus 1500m men and some have been sub-3:32 1500m men. At age 14, S Coe was a 56.xx 400m guy (golf clap). A fine time. Faster 400m than most on here but, you know. By age 22, S Coe was a 46.xx 400m man. He was very thin in 1979 at age 22. That type of improvement does occur but usually not. When males go from 56.xx 400m to 46.xx 400m from age 14 to 22, they usually are strong men. S Coe reminds me of the women, 1976 & 1980 Olympics from then East Germany, then Soviet Union and satellite nations of then Soviet Union from 1976 & 1980. To directly answer your question: Sometime after age 13 but before age 22.

Lol at the mods who removed my post where I merely said Sebastien Coe was privileged.
I'll say it again he was PRIVILEGED. This is not a knock on him, it is merely a fact.
His dad was an engineer and coached him full time.
Born in 1956 in Fulham, west London, into a comfortable middle-class family who moved to Sheffield when he was very young, Coe did not ...
Your post was deleted as you used the term "shemales" to refer to DSD/Transgender women. We took that term out.

Addendum: Highlighted in bold is correct but more accurately, all 800m Olympic gold medalists since 1936 have been (44.xx to 47.xx) 400m men or men capable of (44.xx to 47.xx) 400m.
