If your Dad if wealthy enough to build you a private track to run on during Covid, what are the chances your Dad can also pay for hard to get performance enhancing substances (legal or not).

We don't even know his coaching status do we? He was a super talent in HS and didn't take the usual NCAA path, plus covid, so let's wait for some more info. His times are elite, and beating Hoppel is awesome, but Fisher is not a miler and the 1000m is an odd event. He's running great, but nothing that says he's definitely on the sauce, though everyone gets some deserved scrutiny.
Altho same point about an "off event" I would like to see him and Kessler at 1000M, Kessler ran 2:16.46 2.5 years ago when he was a 1:46.87 best at 800 in 2022.
If he ends up testing positive, can we just let him keep running as a pacesetter?
I'm personally of the opinion that he's clean until proven otherwise. No reason to suspect him of anything other than the bicarb so far. Yeah, his times jump immensely last year but he was the HS indoor record holder for 800m so no slouch.

Agreed. Justin Rinaldi is coaching him now. Not to disparage any of his previous coaches but this is the first time in his life he’s had this caliber of coach. All athletes at that level are huge outliers. I acknowledge his recent performances raise eyebrows, but I don’t find it totally implausible that somebody who showed so much promise in high school and finally now has an elite coach for the first time and has been injury-free for a nice long stretch is turning in some quality performances.
