in the last 10 years.....I don't ever remember hearing anything about it if it happen?....our we American distance runners that clean?...thoughts?
I wonder sometimes and like to think there is no cheating in our distance programs, but someone has to be I would think?....
Eddy and Deeja
Not sure if they were the most recent and they weren't "a" list runners but they were in the testing pool.
Wasn't Regina Jacobs busted within the last 10 yrs?
Oh. I didn't see you wrote white. Not sure what that has to do with anything, but there it is.

No white.
Lindsey Scherf
I would count Eddy as elite
Well Stache, maybe being White gets you a pass?...just asking?...I mean, I hope we are clean, we sure are slow enough to be clean that is for sure, so maybe I answered my own question?
wooops I would NOT count Eddy as a Elite....he is a wantabe

If you looked at the prize $$$$ he acquired during those years.....he was most definitely elite.
Just ask any Masters runner.
Kelli White or Tim Montgomery can get with Conte, gain 2%, and win a world championship or set a WR.
How many US distance (not middle distance) runners are actually close enough to the world medal standard that taking the drugs would even matter?
Ryan Hall and maybe one or two others.
It's more because you have to be a complete retard to get caught taking EPO or be blood doping.
Look, I for one would like to see more balance in distance running amoung all cultures, but this board continues to point and make actuations towards Africans and people of color. It just seems suspicious at times....?...I might be wrong on all accounts, I am just throwing it out there and see if some names come up....yeah, It worked for Larry Flynt when people to give up some names....?...if a name did come up they were dirty, I won't feel sorry for them.
PS...I don't a have Million dollars
Uta Pippig is American NOW but it has been 12 years already since the positive test.
Who is Eddy?
Silly Old Fossi,,,,,,As amazing as some Masters runners are....they are not Elite in my book.....well, I guess American women are but not American men...
First, list all of the elite distance runners of the world that failed drug tests and put their nationality and color.
You are not going to see too many with dark skin on the list.
Who do you got? Boulami, Bauman, Ramzi...
Any Ethipians or Kenyans come to mind?
Wait, what's the point of this thread again?
X-Runner, but there have a few long post (on letsrun) about African runners and the probability of them using drugs because of their records and fast times, some were the longest threads I have ever seen, just saying we should take at look at ourselfs or minute (if you are American or white). that all I am saying
You start the stupidest threads.
PED tests have a 95% false negative result given the suite of tests given do not test for all PED substances. Thus, just because a person does not test positive does not mean they are clean of PEDs.
