Wouldn't she have to 'fail' a 'drug test'?

Like at London and Chicago?

That doesn't seem to have stopped her.

Guess I missed the part where it says how noble it is of her to use drugs. Can you clarify?

Not in the fantasy world that dunes_runner lives in.

Show me the results of -- ONE -- drug test that she's passed.

Guys, I am giving out good advice here: DON'T BOTHER ARGUING WITH HIM ON THIS TOPIC, YOU WILL GET NOOOOOOWHERE.

Really. Get him off THIS subject, and he is actually fairly smart, & even courteous. But his "Radcliffe the Drug Cheat" zeal is pretty bizarre and irrational. No that there is no chance that she is on drugs, but the way he states it as in irrefutable fact, and just makes stuff up is really quite weird.

Don't say I did not warn you.

Lack of evidence cannot prove your point.

Dunes Runner is actually, reputedly, female. Hence the grrrrlll-ish jealousy (meeeow!)

She failed to compete at Worlds.

And she's failed to produce any test results that weren't positive.

All that stuff about freezing her blood was a bunch of nonsense and hot air.

Pete,

I'm very happy being who I am and would not want to be anyone else. And those who I strive to emulate are top runners and those of high character, which most certainly does not include Paula Radcliffe.

is not proper logic. It's what we call the fallacy of denying the antecedent. Just because you can't find the results of drug tests she has passed does not mean that she has failed any.

''She's failed to produce any test results that weren't positive''.............isnt that a bit of a doudle negative thing going on.......if she hasn't produced any test that weren't positive must mean they were all NEGATIVE.......or if she had failed a test then then she'd be a druggie but she hasn't so guess she's not.....

And yes she did fail to compete at the worlds this year but that was the 1st time she has not competed in the major championship since she was a junior ( 10 years ago )....not bad really

And as for that ''show me the test results from Chicago / London ''......well have ANY of the results come out....for Ndereba/Drossin/Chiba??.......NO because they only inform of the results if an athlete fails.

Ya know Pete, I think I did hear that rumor before (that Dunes is a gal). I don't know though, I really never bought that one. Was there some evidence of it ( I can not remember) ?

Like many of us, Dunes is a pretty big running geek (reads many, many book of past running heroes, knows many stats & facts & trivia on past heroes, etc) which struck me as more typical of a boy and his baseball cards. Yes there are women who are like this, but not nearly as many. It seems to me that running girls are not usually as obsessed with all the #'s , trivia, & history of running. They seem more interested in running as simply a pastime/sport, a way to look good, & away to meet guys. ?º WAIT! I'm mostly kidding on that last part. But seriously, women are not usually as big of hard-core FANS of sports, including running, as men are. So that is why I say Dunes is a guy.

Dunes¡Ktell us your sex please (but maybe you will fib on this¡Kwho knows?).

If she hasn't failed a drug test then where are the results of her drug tests.

You know what? I've never seen any negative drug test results for dunes runner. Dunes runner is a drug cheat! There are no negative tests on record anywhere!

If Radcliffe is a drug cheat, then you obviously are too.

I haven't held up any liquor stores or murdered anyone. Oh wait, there's no documentation that I haven't. I guess that makes me an armed robber and murderer.

Guilty until proven innocent. Is that the way it works?

Yes MR Portland Runner, now that I am in charge, that is EXACTLY how it works (well, unless you are a Big Business buddy of mine, than of course it works much differently).

Oh and by the way, we will be looking into your crimes....

I think that dunes is just another frustrated 8 minute per mile runner, obviously with absolutely nothing else to do with their time.
