What are these guy's on?

These guy's what?

Spring shoes. Shh the kiddos get mad when you say it out loud.

My best guess would be smaller doses of EPO and/or smaller blood transfusions PLUS carbon-fiber plated racing shoes.

Whatever it is you can guarantee they're cheating.

They're all aboard the Ingebrigtsen steam train, obviously. He's setting the pace and pulling out performances from them they didn't believe they could do.

Probably Roxadustat. Also always being at altitude basically defeats the ABP.

Dubiously procured and spuriously administered apostrophes

It doesn't matter what they're on, because it's still doping, whatever it is. And they are getting away with it. Track is no different from WWE.

They're on good training/super spikes/pace lights/fast tracks/fast fields/everyone motivated to run fast instead of sit & kick.

Not to mention Sowinski going through in an almost perfect 1:51.6 when they asked for 1:51.5. Dude deserves more than whatever he's getting paid. Not surprising people are running fast at the last meet of the year when the objective across the board seems to be running fast.

Testosterone injections , EPO primarily. Pros also like to stack test with deca (nandralone) since it has been shown to aid in RBC production slightly. Basically whatever they feel like they can get away with. Clenbuterol is popular for its fat burning properties and it being a bronchilidator.

Pork tacos and bad grammar.

Jakob was hardly winded after the mile, then he comes back and does this the next day? At least Naguse looked tired. I hope he’s not cheating but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Someone please rename this website to

Etc....

Similar happened in Coe/Ovett era. The relatively unknown Harald Hudak (sixth in European 1500m the previous year) was temporarily the third fastest 1500m runner of all time, after finishing third to Ovett and Wessinghage in Ovett's world record at Koblenz.

They’re on carbon fiber springs.

Are we still pretending that the shoes don’t matter?

They've been wearing "super" shoes for the last 2 years and we haven't seen results like this. However, this is because the shoes are more of a training aid then performance aid. So while the shoes may help marginally just slipping them on, the overall effect of wearing them for last two years has had more effect. Don't have to worry about destroying your calves and taking 3 recovery days after each track workout.

Below are few legal / grey area stuff folks are doing now more than ever:

1) High Altitude - Legal Doping

2) Better support for teams - Bowerman, On Running, Brooks Beasts, etc

3) Mechanical Doping in Races - Super Shoes / Carbon Plates, etc

4) Improved recovery - daily massages, chiropractors, Super Shoes for less impact, more dirt running (lower impact surfaces), weekly strength training

5) Better Training methods - Double Thresholds, lactic testing, GPS watches for better pacing on longer runs

6) Race Weights - Better diets and race weight understanding (ie Josh Kerr)

Grey Area

6) Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) - Asthma, ADD drugs (stimulates), weight loss drugs

Lastly, just cheat! Use all the EPO, steroids, and other things you want. Make sure to have a trained doctor to keep the dosages right and don't pop on race day. For out of competition testing and use, head to the high remote mountains of Kenyan or Ethiopia. If they do show up, just get a whereabouts failure, you get 2 free ones!! Never fail a drug test, just get 3 out of competitions, protest them and say some BS then get the suspension reduced be back in 3 years or under!!
