The proof is in the test. Mourhit (4th fastest ever), Sief (7th fastest ever), Bauman (12th fastest ever). 3 of the top 12 have now been nabbed... or 25%. I don't want to point unfounded fingers, but you have to think that Lahlafi was on something too... Mourhit's buddy and training mate. I was always a big believer in Komen not being on anything, but I wonder now. Geb and Tergat I still believe were free of anything illegal, but who knows. 1/4 of sub 12:54.71s are drug enhanced, which makes me think, most probably are. Also, think about how stupid you have to be to be caught. It wouldn't surprise me if 75% beat the testers, meaning all are guilty of cheating.
AT LEAST 25% of top 5k runners all time on drugs...

Geb's coach/agent is Jos Hermens, who juiced like a madman back in the day. Tergat's coach is the infamous Dr. Rosa, so dirty the Italian cycling federation gave him the boot!!
You do the math...I think your percentage is on the low side. -
....the infamous Dr. Rosa, so dirty the Italian cycling federation gave him the boot!!
The same Dr. Rosa whos coaching Fila Discovery USA..so whats that mean?? Are 25 percent of Fila US doping too??
And we all know about what big dopers the cyclists are, so whats that say about Lance, since hes been beating all the cheaters? No, not Lance, never!
We could keep going with this...

Man,Conto, did you just crawl out of a cave?

I am sick of these "everyone in track does drugs" threads. Yes it is a problem, but to keep on saying this person is doing drugs because this person runs sub whatever in the whatever or this person is guilty because his grand momma is a pusher....ahhhhhhhh driving me insane.....

I've got the article at home, I'll post excerpts later. Anyone remember the SI article a few years back (maybe before '96 games) about drugs and sport? The findings in the article would lead you to believe a good 2/3 of the top athletes in sports ranging from track and field to football to archery are on something. Remember, there are many many many more drugs out there besides EPO that will help distance runners and track athletes in general. Steroids is still numero uno simply because it's easy to alter, mask, and get away with. Any college chemistry student could take a steroid, alter it's chemical structure and create an entirely different steroid. I remember hearing somewhere, maybe in the article, that if you're on steroids and get it caught in your system then you are stupid and careless because it's so easy to get away with.

so with all of these %s flying about what is the fastest a man could run without drugs in the following events: 1mile, 2 mile or 3K, 5K, 10K & Mth?

How do we define "drugs" in sports?

If BOB was an EPO dopper I'll cry... ANd atleast I know ADam G. doesn't do that crap, I hope Adam G. gets back and sets the 5k AR, hes got all the talnet to do it

Timo, the only person you KNOW doesn't do drugs is you (unless you do them). EVERYONE has bent rules, sacrificed integrity in some way, or otherwise compromised morality in order to gain some perceived advantage.
Of course I hope guys like BK are clean, and it saddens me that because several people have cheated all good marks fall into some degree of suspicion. I would obviously advise/implore people not to cheat, but I can only really control myself (and only really know about myself). Most of the time I choose to believe that people's achievements are legit, because I don't enjoy being cynical.
However, if people cheat, it would be to their own detriment. How hollow would an accomplishment be if you had to cheat to do it? Sure, I suppose you could feel that you pulled one over on people, but you can never pull one over on yourself. You would always know that you couldn't hack it yourself, so you cheated to steal someone else's place. In your mind, your accomplishment would always have an asterisk. It would be shameful and difficult to make right. -
How deep does the list (of 'top' 5k) go? ... 25% of 'top' what?. The more your 'n' is, the less your % ... or so it would seem.
