How many needle injections do you think Rashid Ramzi has received in the past week? Blood transfusions?
The most important thing going into Osaka is that he limits his PED intake. You all saw the famous SNL skit where the weightlifters arms came off? Well Ramzi needs to worry about his legs severing from his body during the 1500. Now that would be quite a sight!
It is safe to say that Ramzi is the most juiced runner in the history of the sport.
This is how I know he is dirty.
Anyone who has run a lot knows how hard it is to double. Yet this guys comes out of no where to double a couple of years ago. f&^%&ing cheating bastard!
not as many as your mother has had hot beef injections today.

And the way that he just cruised through the finish without looking tired.
As equally suspect as his double gold was his ridiculous progression in 1500 times.
don't forget that he PR'd in the 800 to win the finals... his SIXTH race of the week. dirtiest athlete in the game today.
So was Peter Snell a dirty athlete? He successfully doubled up at the Tokyo olympics and you've just implied that most people who double are doped.
Doubling in Snell's time and now are two different animals.
Free your mind. Your ass will follow.

Far less suspicious.
Ramzi had knee problems earlier in his career, and had also beaten Shaheen prior to his 1500m breakthrough. Personally, I'd say beating Shaheen is a breakthrough. wouldn't you?!

That wuddint no PR at Pre.
It is safe to say that Ramzi is the most juiced runner in the history of the sport.
I think it's safe to say that some of those East German "female" track stars in the 80s that practically had testicles were probably more juiced...
In regards to Snell, HGH and EPO weren't exactly known quantities at the time. And anyone that could handle his workload with his talent could handle a double at the Olympics. I was reading recently of his weekends where he'd put in something like to 22 milers over a hilly course, one on Saturday, one on Sunday. And he wasn't jogging.
If he's going to run very well again at WC, he's probably doped, because he hasn't accomplished anything good this season.
Perhaps Ramzi will become the Lasse Viren of today - winning champs and inbetween running pretty average.
We'll soon find out in Osaka if that is actually the case. Would make for an interesting argument if he were to win decisively again.
The OP IS Stupid and you are stupid loser too
rashid ramzi suffered from many injuries earlier in his career, then when he was not able to run anymore, the morrocan federation stopped paying him his misereable salary of $50/month.
in the 2004 season, he went to to bahrain they took care of him, he was angry he had passion and he had something to prove to the morrocan federation of athletics, if you add to this the fact that EL G was in the race when ramzi clocked 3:30, (el g pushed the race all the way then cracked and gave up the race to lose to ramzi, lagat and 7 other runners (his first loss since sydney 2000) it was EL G who pushed the race, and ramzi was in great shape and for him he running the race of his life.
i hope that he will comeback and win the 1500 again, and every loser here who say an athlete is a doper (whether its webb, ramzi, kaouch, lagate or any other World class athlete) is just a stupid parasite, i dont have the words to describe how angry i am , those runners have a place in world history and all what you (the losers) have is a stupid comment in a page that nobody will remember in 3 months.
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
