"It seems that Kenyan athletes have a serious doping culture. That is the difference between the Kenyan and everyone"

When will you doping propagandists finally learn that doping is irrellevant? There is no superhuman metabolism, whether you have more oxygen or more muscles or not. Basic Biology! As well as basic Oxygen Cinetics and ThermoRegulation. Think about it. How could that work? Aha - you can't.

Stop spreading doping propaganda.

I have counted 68 cases in the AIU global list serving ban.
But they are far from Russia which is leading the world by number of cases.

The one who you know have 16 cases with the Samir Jouaher (38 years Marathonian) the worse case caught in the last two years.

As an actual biologist, your Wrekrunner spoof actually had me googling "cinetics". Well played lol

People just refuse to understand how much of a game changers peds truly are. You can literally chemically manufacture a world class runner. Soviet and Chinese records are still being chased 30 years later. Give peds to a decent college runner and you get a national or international contender. Just look at Chemusto as a very recent example.

That's more Johnny Orange spoof, or John himself because all his posts are that deluded and ridiculous.

Can you just list a few?

Start in the women's 800m and 400m. Oh my mistake. Soviet bloc.

The women's 1500m is even better. A Soviet runner ran 3:52 in 1980. That time has only been bettered by Kipyegon, Dibaba, four separate Ma's army members and Hassan. Quite the list.

My all encompassing performance model proves you wrong. Remember that the Russian men, with supershoes, are not faster than the Soviets of the 80s! Ergo doping does not work.

Oh there is more, so much more. For example, Rupp was barely faster than Jones was in the 80s. Or look at the women: when I did my performance analysis, the only Europeans faster than Kristianson were Ratcliffe and Shobukhova! Clearly PEDs are unsubstantiated myth, in particular when considering that Tygart proved that Rupp was clean, like the Lord proved that Ratcliffe was clean.

Lol irony is even if PEDs turn a 2:06 African into a 2:03 African, America hasn't got any 2:06 guys to start with.

So PEDs make zero difference to American marathoning anyway

Well, USA have a serious doping culture, and they suck, so.

Great. So you have heard about Czechoslovakia? Not Soviet Union, right?

Kratochvilova was 3.68 seconds faster than the next fastest Czechoslovakian.

Fastest Czech women (fastest Kenyan):

1500m: 4:01.84 (3:49.11)

3000m: 8:54.61 (8:20.68)

10000m: 32:47.24 (29:32.53)

Marathon: 2:33:19 (2:14:04)

But I'm sure you knew this.

Well the scientific have an answer.

Kenyan/Ugandan/Ethiopian were the first to learn your grand fathers how to use their two legs (bipedalism).

Its called Savanah Theory:

See these high mountains from Tanzania to Kenya? They are enough high you don't have an equivalent in Europe and Elsewhere. The transition of human bipedalism happened there.

Russians get banned and Kenyans still get to participate. Racism against Russia

Men: 100, 200, 400, 3k, 5k

women: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500, 2k, 3k

Hi Hoady - what point are you actually trying to make? 4 million Czech women roiding in the Soviet era, competing in 150 different sports at world class level, were slower at distance running than 25 million EPO, SARM, and rat poison fuelled Kenyan women competing today in one sport - distance running? And what does this prove exactly? That Czech women have neanderthal dna slowing them down?

Long time readers will know who The Biologist is, and astute readers will know the difference between us. I don't look so hard at biology or oxygen kinetics or thermoregulation. I accept for argument's sake that all this biological magic is happening and look for confirmation that it correlates and translates into performance, as measured by a stopwatch.

I wouldn't believe everything you can find on the internet. Whatever things seem like to one "journalist", appearances can be deceiving.

This "scientific" look to this seeming journalist seems hardly comprehensive. For example, scientists have known for a long time that "People who live in areas of high elevation, as in the mountains of Peru, tend to have an adaptive feature not found among peoples who live at sea level; they have larger lungs and chest cavities. In an atmosphere where the oxygen supply is low, larger lungs are clearly adaptive." Another important physical difference is healthy adult bodyweight -- East Africans tend to be some 20-40 pounds lighter than their stockier sea-level competitors. It takes much less energy to move less weight over the same distance.
