Here's another astounding fact for you to grip onto.
Alminova's 3:57.65 is 15.5% slower than the men's record of 3:26.0 by El G.
Yunxia Qu's 3:50.46 is 11.9% slower than the men's record of 3:26.0 by El G.
Radcliffe's 2:15:25 is only 9.2% slower than Geb's men's record of 2:03:59
WHO'S THE CHEATER NOW?????
HUH???? WHO'S THE CHEATER NOW?????

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to prove with these statistics: you'll have to spell it out for me. We will see Geb's marathon record broken within the next couple of years. Which of these athletes do you think were on the juice?
In descending order of likliness:
Qu almost certainly was.
Alminova is fairly likely to be on the juice. It would surprise me if she were clean.
El G, on the balance of probabilities, was on the juice.
Geb is unlikely to be on the juice. It would surprise me hugely if he were dirty.
Paula is almost certainly not on the juice. She does make every use of altitude etc.
