    Yeah there were definately a greater number in the 80's but this doesn't account for the drop off in quality at the top end of British 800m running. Worldwide the quality just isn't there anymore and there must be a reason....

    Yes, there is a reason why only three runners have run 1.41

    They were three of the best 800m runners of all time.

    I think Peter Snell was just as good as Coe, Cruz and Kipketer. I would put all my money on Snell being Steroid free.

    Why are there no 800/1500 runners today as good as Snell was in 1960-64?

    Baala, Rotich, Ramzi (even though I doubt that he's legit), Alex Kipchirchir...

    But part of the problem is that, the way things have gone, most runners need to run their best event in order to take home the most money. If you're Kipchirchir and are going for the Golden League 1500m, how many top class 800s can you run?

    I think Snell's 800m times were as good as those 1.41 guys.

    Who is going to run 1.41 now?

    Fun thread to read. Brojos linked to it on the front page a few days ago, but have since taken it down.

    The man only speaks of minimizing the damage of dopers, and the reputation of the sport. He is only interested in the sport appearing clean, without actually cleaning up its competitions.

    A lot of the runners brought up in this thread as comparable to Coe have been busted.

    Just wanted to revisit this topic before people get comfortable with him being at the head of the sport.
