Ramzi 3:32.89 in his qualifying heat

love thy neighbour - man he won by a street

Rashid Ramzi is fast becomeing my favorate runner, what a hero!!

WHAT A BEAST!!!!

He ran a 53 second last lap and held up his #1 finger when he crossed the finish line, narrowly missing the Olympic record for the 1500. He is certainly not afraid to run hard in the qualifying heats. He looked great. He has also done this before in years past. He is the real deal.

The olympic record still belongs to sir Seb from 1984.

It will not last long.

People still think Ramzi is clean. If he is going to double

KB and Lagat (and any other for that matter) will be in trouble. Closing in 53 in heats tells you that he is in fantastic shape.

Once again, Ramzi is TOP 10 ALL-TIME over 1500 meters, do not be surprised or take him lightly, regardless of your opinions.

And remember, in Europe/Middle East/Asia, it is Bernard Lagat who is the drug cheat due to his positive drug test.

WHAT A DRUGGIE. he does this every year, especially years of big championship meets.

Looking at the 1500m schedule, these runners have a lot of rest, so good for Ramzi to burn one out and get some sensations... the Final is not until Tuesday, I believe.

I am not claiming Lagat is/was clean.

Do you really believe he is clean? he came out of nothing in

2005 and won double.

I am not taking him lightly and I am certainly not surprised

as he has "pulled a Ramzi" before.

peace

Watching Ramzi makes my heart sink. Maybe he is clean and is just the most super talented 1500m runner to ever run! When it seems too good to be true it usually is and it makes me so sad to see him out there racing guys that are clean and turning the Olympic 1500m into a freak show. Winning your heat in that weather by 2 seconds in near Olympic record time only to come back 2 days later really is the equivalent of a freak show. I am not saying that him running 3:32 clean isn't possible, but I am saying that him running 3:32 so easily in the first round, knowing that he has 2 more rounds and the 5k left just doesn't speak very softly. F**k that guy, I would punch him in the face is I ever saw him I think. I hope they bust his ass soon.

Wrong.

You guys, that was his FIRST 1500m ALL SEASON. I mean you can't blame the guy for wanting to blaze the hell out of it. He'll probably just do what he can in the Semis and come back strong in the Finals.

i just saw that ramzi had run one other 1500 like a month ago in 3:37. im predicting he wins both the 1500 and 5k now. hes definitely on drugs so this sucks.

that's how i FEEL ABOUT PHELPS! 6 golds, 6 worlds records! somebody punch him in his horse face

I stand corrected!

i would love to kick him on his shit goateed face. what a scumbag. i mean the russians where critisised for staying in russia he makes them look like a bunch of nuns, the way he has hidden himself this year...

Guy is definitely on drugs.

No question.

Ramzi ran in the US and in Europe this year.

He's "hidden" himself?

Last year, maybe but this year, no.
