Most of you who doubted Haile and said oh his prime time is past, don't know shit about running unfortunately you were called the experts 67% of you who said he won't break it. That prime shit doesn't apply to Ethiopians and Kenyans it only applies to the rest of the world. I wouldn't be surprised if Tergat comes back and breaks it again. Nothing is impossible. Muaaaaaaaaaaa everybody keep dreaming.

Ere yanTaTah! Asafari.

If Haile's mouth was half as 'kift af' as yours, he'd not have half the fans nor respect he has now.

If you were asked to run, i'm sure you couldn't cross the korekonch in front of your gojo bet without yerasih igir Telfoh bafinCHah satidefa.

In short, shut up.

"its funny how barry is THE ONLY ONE OF THOSE ATHLETES WHERE THERE IS THE SLIGHTEST SHRED OF PROOF of doping"

-you must be one of those naive ones. ever read "from lance to landis"? that should shed some light on your beloved lance. geb runs the last half of a 10km faster than what the wr was 10 years before? wake up, lad.

Its not discrediting its the fact that you are ignorant of the truth. Do you actually believe that lance was not dirty?? If you do I would like to tell you how elite athletes "pass" their drug tests....the first empty all of their own urine by pissing as much as possible, then they insert a catheter into their penis and have a bag of someone else's urine, so that when they pee into the cup, it is not actually their own urine. There are many many more ways to cheat the system and for you to call me cynical is as far from a fact as it is that lance was "clean" PLEASE

so you don't have any reason to blame african or ethiopian

This is one of the most retarded post i have ever seen. Who the heck are you attacking, the entire world besides Ethiopia? Because last I checked, neither world war I or world war II were started by america. In fact, if we hadnt gotten in there and saved your asses Hitler would have taken over Africa as well. And last I checked, your continent is full of aids, savage tribes, and poverty. Stop blaming your problems on us, they are really your fault. I'm fine with you taking pride in your runner, but really thats all you have to take pride in, so don't push it. You have no other cards to deal. How about we stop sending craploads of medicine and doctors over to your sorry continent

This is let'srun at its finest. The Ethiopian guy is proud of his country's runners, makes a pretty factual statement ( as far as the best of the best go, Ethiopia is DEFINITELY the kings of distance running, with Geb, Bekele, Sihine, Defar, Dibaba, etc), and what do the white letsrunners do? Insult Ethiopia's poverty, history, culture and people, and then accuse them all of being cheaters. Classy, classy, classy.

Well as soon as we get ryan hall to be doping as much as the ethiopians are america will have the world record....

So let me get this straight. Haile, who at the earliest of ages (double world jr champion in 5 & 10), showed as much talent as any runner in history, needed drugs to run his first 1/2 marathon ever at over 60 minutes ( I think his debut was 60:03), but Ryan Hall, who had never shown HALF the talent as Geb, ran a debut 20 seconds faster than Geb and DID IT CLEAN ????

I think you are the one on drugs. (and not the performance enhancing kind, more like the brain-cell killing kind).

....so you got a couple fast guys....big deal.....

clearly you have no idea what you are talking about.

while america did play a role in the slave trade it was the english who started it. Africans themselves where the people who sold other tribe members into slavery.

WW1 was broguht upon by Germany- US entered the war late after several years of fighting

WW2 was again brought upon by the germans and japan- US only got involved after we were attacked at PEarl HArbor

Traditonally US has not interfered much in Africa, unless you consider the Suez Canal

Vietnam and Korea were wars to prevent communism from spreading, perhaps you dont understand but communism was and is a horrible form of government, you coming from Africa should understand that. Ive never heard of mengistu so i wont comment.

The Iraq war you have a point, it was not the greatest thing we have ever done-it is very imperialistic. However, we did it to protect ourselves, we dont just go wage wars to help our employment

so you, basically have no idea what you are talking about and need to think about what you say it before you say it

wait til a random european wins the oly marathon in 08 and the first african doesn't medal

..........................................................w

would that be 2008 or 8008?

the great white hope may only exists in the 1500m and 800 m

where there seem to be some racial balance as far as ability.

Africans enslaved Africans. Then the Portugese started buying slaves from African slave traders, and shipped them to work in the Americas. The English never traded slaves. The British Navy actually tried to arrest slave traders. The English helped END slavery in the Americas. Sadly, the slave trade still exists in Africa.

even you do not know what your grand father had done to the red Indians people.

wiped out Indian from their on place and creating a decadent, gay-lesbian society for the last 300 year and for me it is better to remain poor than doing all evil things. We know you chose a gay bishop at you own church what a dirty people you are! . I wish I could have seen another 9/11 event or more so that the world get peace.

Every single war in the world cause by white one way or in other way.

hope in the near future we will not see white dominance let us give chance for chinesse and indain and african

2004, retard. Only one of the top five descended from East Africa, and he grew up in America.

The British certainly did trade slaves. You might read about it in Hugh Thomas' epic tome, The Slave Trade

When is everyone going to realize that just about every world record is set by an athlete on some kind of performance enhancing drug. Lance was dirty, haile is dirty, bekele is dirty, Barry is dirty....Do athletes have morals anymore? Where is this love for the sport that our middle school coaches taught us? Why is everyone diryt?...because thats the only way to win and it needs to stop

You have no idea what you're talking about. Who are you, Cathal Lombard?

I've said this before, but maybe you weren't listening:

The late Mike Long had such distaste for cheaters that he forcibly removed that drug cheat Lezghoui from one of his half-marathons last year. This was a 64 year-old man who physically dragged a convicted cheat off of his course, and opened up his pocket to refund her entry fee.

And look at the photo in the link below:

Who is front and center to mourn Mike's sudden passing? Haile Gebrselassie, Meseret Defar, Derartu Tulu, Tirunesh Dibaba, Gezahegn Abera, etc. Mike called all these people friends, and yet you seem to act as if you would know better than he if any of them are cheating? Please, explain to us how you would have a better idea than he?

I am really curious to know.

even you do not know what your grand father had done to the red Indians people.

wiped out Indian from their on place and creating a decadent, gay-lesbian society for the last 300 year and for me it is better to remain poor than doing all evil things.

I'm pretty sure East Indians and Chinese dominated their areas and arguable the world for a huge amount of time. Chinese being blessed with fertile land and many spices had so much money because of the spice monopoly. For some reason I remember India being a huge power house too in history. Stop blaming other people for your problems. Yes it is easy for me to say growing up in a family that is rich to many peoples standards, but even when faced with situations I make the best of them. I\'m assuming you live in America so instead of walloping in your own self-pity, utilize the money I give the government which in turn the government gives to you to do something with your life and stop trolling running forums.

I am a huge fan of Ethiopian Runners. However, you say "We" Did I miss you at the recent World Champs? Were you pacing Haile in Berlin? Maybe you're a woman and you paced Defar at Carlsbad, or do Mile repeats with Dibaba?

Haha, man, are you alright in the head? First of all, if you're going to come onto an American website, created by Americans, at least learn correct English before posting this crap. It's funny how you say we wiped out "Indians" from their own place. I don't think you know where India is, because we sure didn't remove people from India. Yes, maybe we jostled NATIVE AMERICANS from their own land, but that is how the world works I'm afraid. The Native Americans were behind the times and the world was progressing forward rapidly, it was inevitable they would eventually be overtaken. Heck, they're in alot better shape than you Africans. Second of all, we don't have a gay-lesbian society. Yes, perhaps there are some queers in America, but we hate them. I'm sure there are some gays in Africa too, and worse, they probably have AIDS. So while we have gays, y'all probably have gays with AIDS. Third, there is not one church or religion in America. Just because some idiot Catholics chose a gay bishop doesn't mean it had anything to do with America. Fourth, how would another 9/11 create peace? Please inform me about this master solution to the ever present question on how we can acquire world peace. In fact, 9/11 created the opposite of peace, it caused war. And I guarantee you, if any more of that crap happens its going to result in something worse, such as nuclear bombs. Fifth, you must have no concept or world history, because there have been sooo many wars not caused by whites. Japan and China warred all the time. African tribes warred with each other. You're telling me these wars were started by whites? You're a moron. I think everyone on this board can conclude that Mesfin is an idiot. I'm surprised he even figured out how to type

into the address bar to get to this site. Luckily, people like Geb come from your country who aren't idiots, or else we'd all think all Ethiopians are as stupid as Mesfin.

When did Ethiopians get computers?? Shouldn't they be spending thier money on food??

Riiiiiiight. All of Africa, especially Ethiopia, is just a war torn famine infested field of dirt. Just like all Africans run to school and of course no African would take a needle even for medicine! You know what they say about assumptions...
