Azeddine Habz 3:27.49 1500 at age 31!!!

Looks younger than the '18 year old' Kenyan.

Azeddine Drugz

Habz Kellser?

Mills takes down Mo Farah's NR!!! Sir Mo has lost two national records in a week!!!

French Morroccan getting within touching distance of EL G's WR at age 31, and two Kenyans coming out of nowhere to run 3:27/8, one of them an '18 year old', and one of them called 'Lagat'.

Is there a new undetectable form of EPO out there or something?

Josh Kerr has it at 3:27.79

Kerr already broke Mo Farah’s record in Paris. This wasn’t a NR for Mills

Festus Lagat's 800m PB at age 22: 1:45.05 to finish 3rd at NCAAs
George Mills' 800m PB at age 22: 1:46.68 to finish 4th at Sport City Grand Prix.

Of course yes Habz' time is pretty wild, as is his late-career surge. It doesn't seem like he is a bit of a pariah on the circuit a la Mo Katir (if that means anything). Lagat also ran 3:29.03

I don’t see these kind of posts from you when some of the lighter skinned runners are excelling. Maybe I missed them?

Seems like either there is some improvement to the shoe technology, doping, or this track is insanely fast. I'm too lazy to look up the crazy times here, but I think the track is part of it.

Also truly great job pacemaking. Habz making Jakob's indoor season look even more impressive, between Jakob beating Habz and Aregawi without too much difficulty

Fire up the message board when Georgia Bell or Jess Hull start running then pal

Mayby you missed 400 Kenyan doping suspensions, as well as countless Moroccan busts, including many 'French', 'Spanish', and 'Belgian' Moroccans?

So what? I knew this would happen. The Kenyans are back. Cope and seethe.

Er....but Kerr.

Let me ask you Coevett. Are you playing a character here? Or are you getting bent out of shape over this nonsense? The whites cannot win everything.

This one deserves a quote from the great Marty Liquori

"Ahhh, can not be"

This the same guy run out of Paris in the semi-finals last season after only making them in the repechage round? Go look at the guys ahead of him on now on the all-time list (there are only 5 of them).

The 3.29's in this era I could in a way understand. This is a different stratosphere I just can't rationalize.

I have another statistics

49 % of GB athletics team from Paris Olympics have less that 3 OOC doping tests and 16 % 0 tests

The most obvious display of EPO Kiprop. Those top 3 times in the mens 1500m were farcical. The sport is dead.

Habz also only ran 1503.8m, whereas everyone else outside of the South African ran in the 1510-1515m. Koech did get a nice draft, even when slightly wide.
