I read in the international edition of the NY Times today that the former head of the Chinese Olympic committee admitted that most of the star runners from the 2000 Olympic team were dropped from the team because they tested positive for banned. This is the first official confirmation that the runners of "Ma's Army" were using illegal drugs.
Sorry I can't find the link but it is from the global edition of the NY Times.
The records were set 7 years earlier.
Oh, no! What a surprise!!! What about if the members of the Rosa's & Hermen's Army used some banned substances, too?

That doesn't account for the stars who have never been associated with either of them.

We could cover all bases if we say 'What if the members of "Insert sketchy Italian doctor/coach/agent or Jos Hermans"'s army used some banned substances too?'
I think this covers just about all of your beloved stars.
Why do they all have to be involved with a dodgy Italian or Jos Hermans?
Tirunesh Dibaba and Meseret Defar have no such involvement.
I'm sure there's a dodgy doc in there somewhere. Always is. There to prescribe breath-right strips and anti-chafing cream, all the important stuff.
AlSal? Schumacher?
moron.
Chinese anatomy dictates processing 2.8ml/O2*h3T WHICH IS 42% superior to caucasian. Female 10K record is 100% legitimate. Wunxia Jang could have 3:51/13:57/29:07. You r all morons to think otherwise.

That's not a very convincing argument. If I'm a prosecutor, I can't bring charges against someone for a crime and claim that, "I'm sure there's evidence somewhere." I'd be laughed off.
It wasn't really an argument. I was just indicating that there is a dodgy doc somewhere involved with those athletes, probably Italian.
I don't believe that either of them have ever had any relationship with any Italian. Have you read or seen something to the contrary?
Because you say so?
moron
I'm all for innocent until proven guilty but unlike every other group suspected to be on PEDs simply because they are good, no other nation (except perhaps Russia)has had such a searge of phenomenal athletes for such a brief period of time like the chinese, and you call anyone who has a suspicion a moron? you know what, screw being nice, chinese physically superior to..........anyone? Post a link if you are going to spew crap like that.
He's always calling someone a moron if they don't agree with him. If you haven't come across his arrogant and narrow minded postings yet, then you've been very lucky. He's a bit of a laughing stock on here and is best ignored.

Yeah, it SURE wasn't.
(but of course that lack of argument hasn't kept the likes of you and chubby czecher from pushing this nonsense ad nauseum)

There may well be something to it but there are internal battles for the Chinese and it may have been a way to fight against an outsider (Ma) who had embarrassed them.
You keep on with the blind hero worshipping. Shame there are more panty-sniffers than there are people with common sense around.
Here's the article:

Myself, I'm inclined to believe that there was probably doping in Ma's Army. But I also find something compelling in the idea that the success came at least in part from the training methods/psychological abuse.
