Correction: Paula Radcliffe on Today's Oprah Show

Yes she was.............Oprah can get anyone she wants.

But, where was KK? Yes, he's a man but atleast get some parity here!

BTW, you got some nice tv-time wejo.

Just saw Paula on Oprah. A real fluff piece as expected. Oprah barely let her get a word in edgewise. I guess us runners have to take what we can get.

I mean, to THINK...she had to run on her treadmill for 2 hours and 17 minutes!!! If that darn Paula woman coulda just run FASTER. All across the country, womankind must stand and salute Ms. Winfrey. A REAL athlete. Oh, yeah, you too Paula. (This was the general tone of the piece. And Paula looked scruptious.)

Do you mean scrumptious? Or is it scrumptous?

I watched the show - OPrah doesn't seem to have the first clue about running to say she always going on about how much she does! She was going on about how it was only her second marathon race, and trying to make out that it was like the second race she'd run, and all of a sudden broke the world record!But it you want a real treat watch the after show. Oprah asks Paula "so do you want to win as many medals as you can or do you just love running" "didn't you have to pee", "do you listen to music when you train"

You gotta love the audience reaction when Paula tells them that she runs 130 to 140 miles a week.

Perhaps a bit sappy, but superior to any Suzy F-H interview ever done.

No tough questions though, like...

"How did you feel lying about Olga Yegorova's test results to the press?"

That's not the format of the show. It isn't designed to ask tough questions; it's a showcase.

... for Oprah to show off her ability to hire the best P.R. men.

Never mind, I expect OY will get her own show soon.

She didn't lie about Olga's first test. Olga flunked her first test and got off on a technicality.

Hey, you heard the guy right?

OY never stood a chance...

Since you don't know what you're talking about let me point out the facts to you.

The IAAF has stated that Olga Yegorova did NOT fail the test.

If they got the same results from the tests today as then, she would still pass the test and still be innocent.

The primary reason some people think otherwise is because Paula Radcliffe has lied to the press.

Was there any race footage at all?

Either that or the IAAF is chicken shit and deliberately failed to test OY properly for political reasons which don't exactly prove her innocent...Since dunerunner don't have any problem slandering Radcliffe as a *drug-cheat* despite IAAF testing her negative, how does he know OY wasn't at it too? If he's entitled to his opinion he can't rightly deny Radcliffe hers. Is it because he's a nobody he got the ass about Paula?

Since you can't question the fact that OY has passed ALL tests, you question that they tested her properly.

As OY's test results came from France, Canada and other non Russian sites around the world, the people testing here were not exactly neutral. Contrast this to the fact that ALL of PR's test results have come from the UK and BBC, and, even so, none of her specific results have been disclosed. They just said "she passed". Uh huh... right.

The whole world KNOWS Radcliffe has used drugs to gain advantage over other competitors. OY is a prime example of this. PR help up signs in the stadium, falsely accusing OY and had 1/2 the people in the stadium booing her!

If you can't see how PR has used drugs to CHEAT when this evidence is right in front of you, then you need to work on the clarity of your thinking.

I am stating facts, not opinions. And it doesn't matter what PR's opinion is. What matters is that she used drugs to lie to the public to gain competitive advantage over other runners.

I never said Paula looks like an ass, if that's what you said.
