    If your a father whose son happens to have world class talent, it is a lot easier to get recognition as a great coach.

    Was Ovett lucky to meet up with Harry Wilson? Webb with Raczko? Rupp with AlSal?

    Well, Webb could have done better. I firmly believe if he had been with Salazar years ago he might be the world record holder now. Again, I did mention Seb's talent was awesome but to have someone good enough to guide you to a world record is rare. Webb was not so lucky with Rackzo. It worked in high school but obviously it was flawed in the pros. Talent isn't everything. But, yeah, I think a bit of luck is involved in finding a good coach. If your good coach is your dad, you're extremely lucky, especially on a pro level.

    Can't argue with that. Coach Ma, Salazar, or Johan Bruyneel would have made a world record holder out of Webb.

    I've gotta agree with you here. The top coaches have to get that extra something out of or in their athletes. Still, though I believe Alberto may have used drugs himself, I don't see any signs that would lead me to believe his group as a whole is on an organized doping program. I would in that case expect far better results from Rupp, who despite my hatred of him as athlete seems to follow a fairly natural progression. I think the talk of the Salazar group using drugs is from a bunch of haters, pure and simple. If it were truly like an East German or Ma Army's doping program coming from Salazer, why don't we see like spectacular results. I'm attempting to stay within the realm of reason here. Peace.
