To anyone who voted for the Moroccan men over the Chinese women as the dirtiest runners in the world: I defy you to defend your votes. Moroccans? You've got Boulami, IF his B sample turns out positive. But who else? Are you really going to accuse El G of doping?
Just think about what the Chinese women did; their world records are embarassing to our sport. They wreck the world records at non-major meets and then disappear from the international scene. Come on. 8:06 for 3k? Szabo's PR is 8:21 and she's ridiculous. And I heard that Junxia Wang's last 3k for her 29:31 10k was in 8:10, which itself would have murdered the WR over 3k. The only reasonable mark they set was for the 5k, but even that is suspect.
Anyone who voted for the Moroccan runners should be ashamed of themselves. Never has such a scam been so obvious as the Chinese women in '93. I, personally, am in favor of unilaterally removing all of their records from the books. Was anyone else shocked at the relative percentages of these votes?
