Take Seb Coe when he was in world record mile shape in 1981 when he ran 3:47. Transplant him in El G's world record race in 1999. Now, Coe is wearing the Nike Air Zoom Milers, the race is on a better track surface than 1981, etc.... What kinda time?

Does Seb get El G's EPO and other drugs?

3:43 - mind you they would still be 30m behind Herb Elliott
The shoes, track etc., are insignificant compared to the brilliant pacing by Tanui, not to mention having Ngeny running right up ElG's ass. Scott, Cram and Coe could all get 3:43-4 under the same conditions.

Allright....Coe is transported ahead in the future to 1999. He is standing on the starting line next to El G. But wait, there's a catch! Unbeknown to Coe, there was a fly in his transporter. Weird, course hairs are sprouting on his back. He starts vomiting up a strange liquid. His ear falls off! OMG, Sebastian Coe is turning into a fly!!
"Help me, help me."
At their best, Coe, Cram, Ovett, Elliott, Ryun et al would have been able to compete with any generation, thats a fact!! I reckon Cram was the last clean WR holder. The new spikes, tracks would maybe make a small difference. Them guys were heros, El G and the rest of them are just science experiments!
what makes you think El G isn't clean? is it that hard to believe? i mean just because you suck doesn't mean you should think everyone else is cheating. i agree that those older guys could compete with El G but he's still better then all of them. look at the US right now, we have webb who has run 3:48 and you don't think that there can be some freak of nature blessed with the aerobic capacity and speen to run 5 seconds faster....give me a break.
