Pettigrew comes clean under federal pressure. Says he ran under 43 after doping. Anyone remember who finished second?
Hand over those gold medals 4x400 team!

To be fair to the UNC program, they've only had maybe 8 hours to react to his admission of guilt

Why are people not discussing the even scarier news from this??? He has admitted to using wheelbarrow training in the months leading up to the Olympic games. This is sad.
luckily we all know that all athletes are clean until proven guilty. So nobody who hasn't confessed or tested positive (multiple times!) is dirty. Geb is clean because he seems nice!
Geb is clean because he works harder than everyone else and is a genetic freak of nature. You do notice the majority of high profile doping busts are of sprinters or white distance runners. The africans are just plain better than us, deal with it.
Moroccan runners have been caught. So have a few kenyans (Lagat/Chepchumba) and also Abeylegesse I believe (form Ethiopia). Hence your statement is false.

'Lagat' Really, your reading comprehension must be pretty flawed if you have read about the badly flawed 'A' sample, or your willingness to make stupid is pretty high if you have not bothered. Another possibility is that you might know too little about statistics and tests and Type I and Type II errors.
As for the comment above on not enough time, this is not 'new' news, as information was out a couple of weeks ago and apparently some people knew about this much longer ago than that.
Lagat never tested positive. Read the report. No rhEPO was found in his properly handled sample. Get over it.
And Abeylegesse didn't start the stuff until she had left Ethiopia and went to Turkey.
Yeah but Abeleygesse didn't turn white as she moved to Turkey?? Are Moroccans white?
I am highly intelligent and my reading comprehension is not flawed. I just opened a can of worms. Ha.
What's ridiculous is all the money they are spending going after these athletes. WHO THE F*CK REALLY CARES??? Spend the taxpayer's money going after people who kill/rape/endanger others.
Why ca'nt we be like Major League Baseball...publish a report, go after the retirees, announce a new "toughest ever" drug test, then sweep everything under the rug and let "Play Ball!" baseball season begin?? This way everyone forgets about it!! You are all aware what Bud Selig ruled on the current p[alyers named in the Mitchell report, right?? After all, it was buried in page 104 in small type in my local newspaper.

I said MAJORITY. Not all.
The point is that Abeylegesse's cheating is not indemic to Ethiopia; it was after she left the program that she spiked.
And Moroccans are white.
white/black/pink/yellow/purple who cares.
i think more accurately...moroccans are african.
So you wouldn't say that Jacques Freitag, Hestrie Cloete, LJ van Zyl or Charlize Theron are "white" because it's "more accurate" to clasify them as Africans?
i have no idea who any of them are other than Charlize Theron who i would probably say is south african. just like if someone was from australia i'd say they were austraillian not just white.
Posters on supposed "hardcore" track forums have never heard of a pair of world champions and we wonder why we have problems filling a 10,000 seat stadium.
